Two capstone videos of my fantastically memorable trip to the Philippines last month. Of course, one of them is on food. Check out ‘Today’ on this site for daily updates in September of my most awesome time!
4th of July Cookout
How’s Korean BBQ for the 4th of July? Not too patriotic? Perhaps, but definitely delicious.
Zingerman’s Delicatessen Named Finalist for James Beard Award
My favorite deli, Zingerman's in Ann Arbor, has been nominated this year as finalist for the James Beard Award for Outstanding Service. It's great that this beloved U of M off-campus destination is being recognized for its consistently high standards of food service and hospitality.
I've had a long, enduring affection for Zingerman's ever since I moved away from Ann Arbor in 1996. When I lived there and went to Michigan as an engineering student, I rarely ate there because I could hardly afford the gourmet prices on my meager poor student budget. But as I started working, I kept coming back and appreciated it more, even ordering off its online catalog and having my favorite goodies shipped to Columbus regularly.
I still do stop by at Zingerman's every time I'm anywhere within a 40-mile radius of Ann Arbor, mostly on supplier visits to the Metro Detroit area. I never fail to pick up my favorite Reuben on rye, or the Cuban sandwich, or the heavenly brownies (Black Magic is my favorite), as well as the perfect breads, lustrous olive oils and balsamic vinegars, and decadent Italian and Spanish meats and cheeses.

Here are a few photos from among many visits in the past decade:
Needless to say, I strongly recommend it to any foodie looking for the best in hard-to-find and award-winning deli fare. Many consider it the best deli outside of New York City, and definitely, the best in the Midwest.
