The Trasimeno Rosato Festival enjoyed a third edition during the summer of 2022, a event that brought together the local wineries, restaurants, and bars in the picturesque and historic town of Castiglione del Lago.

When it comes to exciting food and drink, the San Francisco scene always delivers in spades. But this fall feels like a particularly auspicious time for the city as a number of relative newcomers are just starting to hit their stride.

It’s an auspicious time for Japanese cocktail culture here in the United States. The style, celebrated for its elegance and attention to technical detail, has been flourishing in the bar rooms of New York and Chicago for the better part of a decade. Earlier this year, two separate books on the subject collected top honors;

Americans are traveling like never before. This summer saw historic increases in airfare purchases as cooped up adventurers made up for time and experience lost to the pandemic. In July, airplane ticket sales were 35% higher than they were in July of 2019, according to industry data. This seismic shift away from people purchasing goods

While the American craft beer scene has indeed loomed large over the last few decades, and rightfully so if I may say so, there are still a ton of great brews spread across the globe. That’s why it behooves any lover of tasty brews to pay attention to other beer competitions besides the Great American

There is no simple definition of the “right way to farm” because any answer would have to reflect the constraints of each growing region (soil type, weather, infrastructure…) and the resources and markets available to the farmers. To make things even more complicated there are many possible combinations of specific farming practices to consider including

So what did I do? I cooked. I cooked like I was racing against

On weeknights, I love to watch old episodes of Made in Spain, the PBS PBS show hosted by Chef José Andrés. This series ran in 2008, before World Central Kitchen was conceived. The trouble with that show — during which viewers travel with Chef from his home kitchen in Washington DC to his Spanish homeland

When Angelica de Vere Mabray took on the position of CEO at Donum Estate winery in mid 2019, little did she know that the visitor’s center and tasting room would effectively be shut down for nearly a year during the pandemic. But thanks to her 20+ years in the wine industry, a strong background in

Some say it takes three data points to make a trend, so it may be time to examine why several non-pizza restaurant chains are adding pizza to their menus. Consider Panera, which launched a new flatbread pizza lineup in late 2020. More recently, Buffalo Wild Wings introduced a Buffalo Boneless Bar Pizza and a Honey

One could wax poetic about the drink of the summer or the newest whiskey release to grace the market. But while booze trends ebb and flow, it seems one bar staple remains: the soft drink. According to CGA by NielsenIQ’s BeverageTrak service, 43% of US consumers drink soft drinks when in the on-premise. The average

Inside El Pica 1 in Texcoco, Mexico, the original barbecue of the Americas is still being cooked low and slow inside of pit ovens. The restaurant’s lamb barbacoa recipe starts with wrapping lamb in long maguey leaves, and cooking it overnight for 11 hours to create a tender barbacoa full of sweet and smoky flavors.

Critics of modern agriculture often cite its dependence on “synthetic nitrogen fertilizers.” They point to the carbon footprint of the natural gas used to make it and the fact that nitrogen from farms can end up as a water or air pollutant. Also there is the issue that under certain circumstances a fraction of farm

Harry Styles has turned Madison Square Garden into Harry’s House for the rest of the summer, and New Yorkers are eager to celebrate (and capitalize on) the pop sensation’s 15 show lineup. To kick off the pre-show energy, Magic Hour Rooftop Bar & Lounge, about three blocks from MSG, launched its own “Golden Hour”. Pre-show

Aimee Yang has crafted her entire career around the pursuit of one day being an entrepreneur. Today, the CEO and Founder of BetterBrand has taken those building blocks to redesign traditionally non-nutritious foods that we crave into delicious, guilt-free versions of themselves. I sat down with Yang to discuss the inspiration behind BetterBrand and her

Sicily has it all. From archeological sites and hilltop villages to islands, volcanos, and excellent food and wine. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Sicily is a continent, and there’s much to discover each time you visit. While the Sicilian coastline steals the show with iconic destinations like Taormina and Cefalù, the
