September is National Bourbon Heritage Month! A great time for a Manhattan, Old Fashioned, a Sour, or one on the rocks. Not that there’s a bad time for those, mind you…

Savour some international flavour

It’s official. Z Cuisine & A Côté, Lo-Hi’s outstanding French bistro, has been sold. I only got the chance to eat there once, but will always remember the extraordinary, even more remarkably vegetarian, French onion soup and warm French bread brought to the table in small paper sacks to soak up the Langherino fondue, served en papillotte . A truly friendly and inviting restaurant that will be sorely missed by it’s patrons. Keep an eye on the space, though…the new owners are a couple from Florida with experience in French and vegetarian cuisine.


On stay-cation, lots of yard work, etc. Back next week!


Happy National Whisky Sour Day!

It’s always a lovely day for a Guinness…







Dazzle makes a fine Manhattan…

The last weeks have been very busy, will be back next week with whisky, waffles, and the occasional amuse bouche.
