Please pass the salt. Oh and the pepper, and also the iPod. Thanks.50 Best Restaurants in The World
Last night Restaurant Magazine announced their annual list of the world's 50 best restaurants and I am ridiculously embarrassed to say that even though two of them are really close by (Chez Panisse and the French Laundry), I have not been to any of the ones on the list.

We could get into a big debate over whether or not foie gras is cruel — sidenote: did anyone see Anthony Bourdain's Holiday Special segment about it?
Sunday Dinner: Cassoulet
A few weekends ago I got a craving for cassoulet: the day was cold and dreary and I was in the mood for a provencal French dish.
