The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.

While some may find vanilla ice cream boring, it’s classic for a reason. Vanilla is simple (in the very best way) and versatile enough to pair well with pretty much everything, adding an a la mode touch to desserts like pies, brownies, and cakes or taking breakfast staples such as pancakes and waffles to the next level.

One of the first things you learn when you start studying wine is that some of the most famous wines in the world are named for regions, not the grapes they are made from.

As the host of the first televised cooking show ever in America ("I Love to Eat" which aired on NBC from 1946 to 1947), James Beard definitely knew a thing or two about good eating and drinking. Given his championing of American cuisine – which, to him, was made up of the food and experiences of its diverse citizenry — it should come as no surprise that he gave Ireland's signature coffee drink his stamp of approval. In fact, instructions for how to make Beard's "Chilled Irish Coffee" first appeared in the June 1973 issue of House & Garden.

As we roll toward the July 4th weekend, there's plenty of Americana among this current crop of new releases. Separately, we've also put together a list of whiskeys that capture the spirit of July 4th, many through their part in the American story. As for this group, we have new expressions of the long-standing Michter's Legacy Series, a toasted barrel whiskey from Old Potrero and a toasted barrel bourbon from Peerless, a barrel proof rye from E.H. Taylor, and a new Babe Ruth commemorative edition from George Remus. From Scotland, we have another wine cask finished item from Glenmorangie, this one aged 23 years.

According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now. This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska. We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.

To be clear, this journey doesn’t involve any planes, trains or automobiles.
