DJT on Nevada Public Radio

With this week’s Food For Thought commentary, heard on News 88.9 FM KNPR-Nevada Public Radio, we bestow our last bit ‘o love on DJT. Having featured this small gem on radio, TV, and on this website, as well as talking up the cooking of Joe Isidori and David Varley to everyone from NORM! to Robin Leach, all we can do now is sit back and hope the public responds to a first-class operation that: 1) doesn’t trade off the name of an absentee, overhyped, metabolically challenged “celebrity chef;” 2) isn’t in a mega-casino that takes a Sherpa guide and GPS system to navigate; and 3) won’t murder your wallet with prix fixe menus and overpriced, big-hitter winelists.

Special added bonus: My commentary also defines the difference between an epicure, a gourmet, a gastronome, a gourmand and a glutton. Who says restaurant reviews cain’t bee edjeecaetional?

Food For Thought-Reno 911!

Hangover got you down? Too tired or lazy to read my post on Reno restaurants a few entries below this? We understand how a night of video poker, PBR and Jager shots can do that to even the most dedicated foodie. Therefore, as a public service, we hereby offer a direct audio link to my News 88.9 FM Nevada Public Radio weekly “Food For Thought” segment.

SETTEBELLO on the move

Pizza lovers rejoice! Settebello, maker of simply the best pizzas in town (and the best pizzas in Salt Lake City and the only ones certified as authentic by Italian authorities as Vera Pizza Napolentana-real Italian pizza), has announced plans to move from its present location at Valle Verde and Horizon Ridge (commonly referred to by EATingLV.com as the middle of bleeping nowhere) to The District II (a slightly more accessible location in the franchise-restaurant wasteland that is Monochrome Valley.)

Rumor also has it that owner Brad Otton and his pizzaiolo Carmine D’Amato (a master of the craft of pizza making), are scouting locations on the west side of town. Hope springs eternal.
