Cook the Book: Lidia's Italy
I cook this Brazilian dish- roasted pork loin with cream cheese sauce. It's not that fancy, but an unusual dish, which makes it special.

Fort Worth, Texas: A Serious Eating Tour
Just so you know, Angelo's has the authentic atmosphere, but the food just isn't there. I prefer Cousin's. It's newer and has that prefab look, but the food is 100% real, and the brisket is a thing of beauty. Also, Angelo's doesn't have Shiner Bock on tap, and part of the barbeque joint experience is a huge frosty goblet of Shiner. Not that you're into that sort of thing, being a non-drinker.
Also, Kincaid's is pretty darn good, but not the best burger in the country. It is very much like the Burger Joint in NYC, I'd say.
Never tried Caro's- it must be new. I'll try it next time I'm back home, it looks pretty great.
I'd say go to Joe T Garcia's next time you're in town, but the food only tastes good after one of their famous margaritas, so perhaps not. But if it's authentic Fort Worth atmosphere you want, eating in the garden by the pool is pretty awesome on a spring evening.

John T Edge. I love the way he writes about southern food.

Taco Salad with Hidden valley Ranch on top- it has to be HV ranch, it just tastes right.

I love frozen peas- especially as a garnish in too-hot tomato soup. I also love broccoli.

Emeril: Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down?
His show was overkill on Food Network. We enjoyed him at first but got tired of him very quickly. So no, we won't follow him to Fine Living.
Emeril: Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down?
Here on the left coast, Essence of Emeril is not available except in the day time. this is sad because working folk don't get a chance to see it. I wasn't really fond of the night time show, but, at least, he cooked. All the phony stuff they put on now is truly annoying. Too much making of cakes, silly contests and contrived stuff.
Paula Dean and Rachel Ray are too much. Annoying, trite and phony! My food shows come on PBS these days where the artist/cook really cooks and you learn something. Three exceptions come to mind - Giada, Ina Garten and Ellie Krieger. I also watch Alton Brown when I can. he's funny and has his facts in order. If Tyler Florence is on, I haven't found his show
