(This was inspired by a review of LaRosa’s pizza in Slice.  I started thinking– are Cincinnati traditions really good, or are they just traditions?  The first in a series.) Is LaRosa’s as good as when I was a kid? We ate nothing but LaRosa’s pizza […]

Full disclosure:  I get a lot of emails from PR folks, many of them not quite applicable to the blog (if it’s happening in NYC, I’m not really the target audience…).  Vito’s PR company pitched me on a free meal, and I took them up […]

Check out some great backstage shots from this week’s Cooking with Caitlin episode on Caitlin’s blog. Next week? Special guest Jean-Robert. Wish I could be there in person, but alas, Iwill be working.  Have any of you readers gone yet?  Tell us how it was […]
