Over the last couple of years, I have traveled quite a bit. I’ve been on family cruises; I’ve traveled by plane for a funeral, to visit friends and family, and for other reasons. Everywhere I go, I usually pack and bring some smokes with me. Because of the strict TSA and carry-on rules, you might think that it’s not okay to bring cigars or that you’ll almost certainly lose them. That’s not the case at all, and I’ve pretty much perfected the art of bringing my favorite hobby along. Pull up a seat, grab a cold beverage, light your favorite cigar, and let’s talk.

Can you bring cigars on a plane, and what’s the best way to travel?

Some of the best dishes have, tragically, been lost to time. Retro staples of our childhoods that no one has thought of in years cleared from our memories to make way for a more modern cooking flare. Admittedly, this isn’t always a negative thing. I, for one, am quite happy to see the back end of jellied meats, for example. But there are too many culinary gems lost to history, sitting restlessly in the pages of dusty cookbooks. We toy with nonsensical recipes like vegan scallops with rhubarb foam while rich, hearty, deliciously complex, timeless recipes like Steak Diane go forgotten. We say it’s time to change that.

It's time to bring this recipe back
