Guess who's back? Back again? It's this column. Tell a friend (please, my kids' livelihoods count on your readership). After many months of eating out of takeout packaging, we are back in restaurants, baby. Now that more people are vaccinating and establishments are getting back to full dining rooms, the time feels right to bring back this column. So, let's talk about a few meals I've had recently that you might want to have yourself. This month we'll focus on fine dining ... 'cause it's all the rage. Here's where you should eat this month: Neo Tasting-menu restaurants are so hot right now. Part of it is pandemic-fueled creativity, sure, but a lot has to do with the fact that when you host several planned seatings each week in a small dining space, you have greater control of your guests, the food you're serving, and the overall cost. This makes it especially tempting for a chef just starting out with their own concept.
