Serious Eats - seriouseats.com

John T Edge and the Southern Foodways people, Dan at L & M, Doe's Eat Place, City Grocery, and the senegalese lunch plate at the University Citgo, Mama Jo's, and access to the Tamale Trail make Oxford a serious food destination. Albeit better off during the fall and spring when it's less sultry. Great post.

Jambalaya and skillet cornbread from the Lee Bros.

This reminds me of the Alan Richman article in GQ on the mediocrity of food in New Orleans. . .

Can we put together a glossy magazine recipe? One part practicality of Cook's Ilustrated, One part fast recipes of food and wine, a dash of Lettie Teague's Educating Peter series, a little Levine, Edge, and Road Food folks, some Sietsema (Robert, that is), a dollop of Time Out NY restaurant reviewing, some Industry stuff from Matt and Ted Lee, some rotating bloggers on trends(chez pim, becks and posh, tablehopper, amateur gourmet) and an occasional celebrity or noncelebrity chef like Bourdain or David Chang writing in first person. No idea about the pictures.

I realize the combination may lead to an absurd magazine, but it would be nice to have a glossy that isn't as dowdy as Cooks and isn't as glossy as Food and Wine. We need some edge in print, not just online.
