Did you know there are 9, count ’em NINE steps to properly pouring a Stella Artois? ELV didn’t, but we got a quick lesson in the finer points as we prepared to judge the Stella Artois Draught Masters Contest held at the Hard Rock Hotel last week.
ELV note: As most of you know, ELV hearts the Big Apple. He lived just outside of it (in Danbury, CT) between 1985-1990, and never tires of its energy and its eateries. Below is a quick travelogue of our four days there last week, concentrating on — what else? — food and restaurants. Some misguided souls (like The Food Gal®) are under the impression there are things to do in New York City other than eat and drink, and for this they have our sympathies.
