I’m not a foodie by any stretch of the imagination. In fact, I find much about foodie culture to be pretentious, cumbersome and borderline offensive. But I’ll spare you that rant.

Shocking news this morning as Andrew Breitbart, controversial conservative blogger and activist, was announced dead of natural causes. He was 43.
Actually, to call him controversial is, for many, a diplomatic understatement. Some saw him as a pariah; he did unfairly cost some people their jobs and, to further […]
Davy Jones has died from a heart attack. He was 66.
