Serious Eats: stxer's Profile

Please, tell us where you're from...

I live in the Virgin Islands where it might take stops at 4 markets to get ingredients to make one good meal! Most everything is shipped in which tells you about the freshness factor. So, where's the first place I head when I visit the States? Whole Foods, Central Market, any other supermarket!!! Oh, and Mexican and Chinese restaurants. Oh, and a good bakery!!!

Culinary Ambassadors: Desert-Island Pantry Staples

My grandmother used to spend a couple months a year in Paris. She would take an entire steamer trunk of Amercan toilet paper with her! She said that it beats newspaper.

Sunday Brunch: Spinach and Gruyère Strata

I'm also amazed at the sky-high prices of gruyere in local stores! Probably the most expensive cheese they carry!! Anyone have a guess as to why this is so?

"Slow Food" as in slow food nation. We went their big event in Sam Fran and the only thing that was slow were humongous lines. They sold too many tickets, not enough workers. Never again!
