But I figure, I spent half my life so far in the midwest, half here in “the Big Apple”, I may as well...

Two weeks of (mostly) good weather, an amazing city to explore, new friends met (including one quite special one), and all sorts of adventures to share. I'm going to try... Dan 2005-02-18T12:17:01-05:00 http://www.outletradio.com/perlman/ First, apologies for my absence over the last several weeks, the madness of the holidays overtook me, and the last week or so has been a whirlwind of catching up on everything I ignored in my life during November and... Dan 2005-01-12T11:43:54-05:00 http://www.outletradio.com/perlman/ Just a short column to let you all know I haven’t fallen off the face of the earth. Being in the food and wine biz this time of year gets a bit crazed. Out in the non-electronic world I’ve gotten... Dan 2004-11-19T10:39:04-05:00 http://www.outletradio.com/perlman/ About 13 years ago I had the opportunity to spend an afternoon with Craig Claiborne. For those who don't know who he was, he was probably the most influential restaurant critic who has ever written in the United States. Why?... Dan 2004-10-22T10:46:19-05:00 http://www.outletradio.com/perlman/ Sorry, that was just to get your attention. I’m on a bit of a mission. It’s somewhat casual, I can’t say I’m devoting a huge amount of time to it. But nonetheless, it’s a mission. I want to bring back... Dan 2004-10-13T10:15:16-05:00 http://www.outletradio.com/perlman/ I confess. I am a packrat. Not your traditional packrat who collects bits and pieces of everything under the sun and sticks it somewhere. I don’t have piles of old newspapers laying about the house. I have cookbooks. I like...

I’m not referring to the basics of being able to tell if it’s white or red, or even whether or not one likes it. I’m placing... Dan 2004-09-13T08:41:52-05:00 http://www.outletradio.com/perlman/ The end of summer is already visible on the horizon and I feel like it’s barely started. A strange one, at least here in New York. Grey and drizzle have predominated, blazing sun has alternated, and the usual July/August steambath... Dan 2004-08-20T08:39:07-05:00 http://www.outletradio.com/perlman/ Never let it be said that we Americans don’t know how to carry a good joke just a little too far. My current fave for “okay, enough already” is the low-carb diet craze. Atkins or South Beach or whomever else...

I hope and pray that this special advertised at a local eatery was merely the result of a poor command of the English language. If it isn't, the trend towards "creative" cookery...

In fact, if I’m reading the USDA’s study... Dan 2004-06-05T08:55:17-05:00 http://www.outletradio.com/perlman/ I have just returned from a week in Las Vegas. Sin City. Gambling Capital of America. Crowded, noisy, a trifle on the grungy side, too much neon, too much spandex. Home of the All-You-Can-Eat Buffet. There is, perhaps, no greater... Dan 2004-04-16T11:28:33-05:00 http://www.outletradio.com/perlman/ Bombs in Iraq, bombs in Pakistan, terrorism threats, the rise of anti-Semitism, banning of head scarves in French schools, gay marriage and a bad white truffle harvest. It’s clear we’re headed for some sort of disaster... or, to paraphrase the... Dan 2004-03-10T13:40:53-05:00
