NEW YORK, NEW YORK / chapter 10 – My Home Away from Home

by Larry Levine | Jun 17, 2013

By Larry Levine – 4 ounces a day for 23 days … not bad for a vacation trip devoted largely to eating and containing very little serious exercise. Put another way, I gained six pounds on the trip I didn’t step on a scale until we got back to L.A., but in case we hadn’t... Read More

TRAVELS WITH JENNIFER AND LARRY / Chapter 9 – Let’s Talk Deli, Part 2

by Larry Levine | May 30, 2013

By Larry Levine – It’s official – Jewish deli in New York is dead. Even though I knew the Manhattan deli world was in dire straits a decade ago, I held back on the final pronouncement until today. No, I haven’t tried every deli in the city, so I expect I will be... Read More

TRAVELS WITH JENNIFER AND LARRY / Chapter 8 – You can go home again

by Larry Levine | May 28, 2013

(Crowds at the re-opening of Nathan’s Famous, Coney Island) By Larry Levine – You can go home again. You most certainly, positively, absolutely, definitely can go home again. I’m riding on an elevated train through Brooklyn; I’m looking down on the streets... Read More

TRAVELS WITH JENNIFER AND LARRY / Chapter 7 – Sandwiches, sushi and ice cream in Philadelphia

by Larry Levine | May 27, 2013

By Larry Levine – Before getting to the food adventures of our time in Philadelphia, I want to devote some time to a little introspection and social commentary. I’m trying to figure out why I had no emotional reaction to the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall.... Read More

TRAVELS WITH JENNIFER AND LARRY / Chapter 6 – Soft shell crabs and Yuengling beer

by Larry Levine | May 24, 2013

By Larry Levine – It has all the earmarks of a great season. We had just crossed the mid line of May and I already had eaten six Maryland soft shell crabs, cooked four different ways in four different restaurants. And what is more, none of them were the way I’ve... Read More

TRAVELS WITH JENNIFER AND LARRY / Chapter 5 – BBQ, America’s food

by Larry Levine | May 20, 2013

By Larry Levine – America’s food …? No, it isn’t the hot dog or the hamburger. It’s barbecue – also known as barbeque, BBQ, or just plain Q. There is virtually no corner of the U.S. that doesn’t have its own style of BBQ, and within each regional style there are... Read More

TRAVELS WITH JENNIFER AND LARRY / Chapter 4 – Great food and progress in the Deep South

by Larry Levine | May 16, 2013

By Larry Levine – I have just one serious prejudice: I hate prejudice. That’s been enough to keep me out of the southern part of the U.S. all my life, except when I was visiting relatives in Florida. The notion of hearing people speak southern hour after hour... Read More

TRAVELS WITH JENNIFER AND LARRY / Chapter 3 – Some thoughts on Florida

by Larry Levine | May 15, 2013

By Larry Levine – I know I’ve done more than a little griping about Florida in the last few days. But as we leave our time there behind us, I want to add a few things. My cousin Irwin, after reading some of my earlier posts, asked if there is anything about Florida... Read More

TRAVELS WITH JENNIFER AND LARRY / Chapter 2 – A Florida Tomato Dilemma

by Larry Levine | May 14, 2013

By Larry Levine – I wanted to make our family recipe for Rumanian eggplant salad as an appetizer before Mother’s Day dinner at my aunt Tillie’s home in Pembroke Pines FL. So I headed to the local Whole Foods, convinced that would be a likely place to find... Read More

TRAVELS WITH JENNIFER AND LARRY / Chapter 1 – in Florida

by Larry Levine | May 10, 2013

With Aunt Tillie in her kitchen in Pembroke Pines, FL By Larry Levine – I realized something yesterday. It’s something I probably felt it for a long time, but it didn’t surface until now: the vacation doesn’t start until the plane lands, and you are in the rental car... Read More
