Jun 30, 2012

This wood-fired catering company uses a Forno Bravo oven from The Fire Within — and I really like how his oven looks as well (haha). Check out The Whole Pie Pizza (TWPP) in Moscow, ID.

The Sun Also Rises

Jun 26, 2012

There is nothing new under the sun. I am reading Hemingway’s “The Sun Also Rises” set, in part, in Paris in the 1920’s, and I can’t help but mention an fun restaurant scene that takes place on Ile Saint Louis — the small island behind Notre Dame.
