During
his Thanksgiving demonstration at the
Food Network NYC Wine and Food Festival,
Bobby Flay made a scrumptious-sounding stuffing. I've been looking for an exciting new recipe to include on my
Thanksgiving day menu, so I decided to give his recipe for wild rice and goat cheese stuffing a try. The rich stuffing is packed with delicious flavors: fragrant chorizo, milky cheese, and fresh herbs that combine to create a dish full of contrasts.

At the
Food Network NYC Wine and Food Festival last month, my favorite demonstration was
Bobby Flay's. Although it was early October, Flay had
Thanksgiving on the mind. He loves the food-centric holiday so much that every year, he wakes up at 5 a.m.

Walking around the tasting tent at the
Food Network NYC Food and Wine Festival, I came across a fabulous decorating idea — it's perfect for Fall or the holidays — that I plan to re-create in a tablescape. You can to, here's how to:
- Start by covering the table with a simple cloth. Arrange a thin layer of gauzy fabric over the tablecloth.
- Sprinkle the table with rose petals in a color that matches the party's theme.

At the
Food Network's NYC Wine and Food Festival, besides
the delicious food, there was a plethora of interesting spirits. I waded through the depths of the rums, tequilas, and everything in between, and have picked my top four pours to share with you. If you're into trying out the newest, latest liquors, I highly recommend you seek out these bottles.

Yesterday I had the lovely opportunity of speaking with cookbook author and burger queen
Katie Lee Joel over the phone. She was calling from New York City to set the record straight about her
Burger Bash win.
According to her critics, the
Logan County Burger, which won fair and square, is not a burger at all, but rather a popular sandwich known as a patty melt.
