In Central Mexico, locals are feasting on a unique delicacy that sprouts to life this time of year from the country's corn fields.
It's still called by its Aztec name, cuitlacoche (pronounced QUEET-la-coh-chay). The gray, stone-shaped fungus turns into a gunky, tar-like mush when cooked.
But it is revered by Mexican gourmet chefs and home-style cooks alike. The fungus — which some say has an earthy, tangy, mushroom-like flavor with a hint of raw corn — is a popular ingredient in soups and quesadillas.
Farmers hunt for cuitlacoche during the rainy season from now through mid-October.
Sometimes the farmers call the dish "el oro negro," or black gold.
"We have a very fine Mexican cuisine. It's not all about tacos," she says.
Businesswoman Ruth Martinez recently dined on a dish of chicken-stuffed cuitlacoche at a Mexico City restaurant.
When asked to describe how it tastes, Martinez evokes a popular song by Latino singer Enrique Iglesias.
"It's a religious experience," she says.
Not a bad compliment for a fungus that in other parts of the world is simply thrown away.In Central Mexico, locals are feasting on a unique delicacy that sprouts to life this... more

Minnesota Daily (mndaily.com) reporter Rebecca Lang contributes this story about the recent announcement of the closure of Chambers Kitchen, the spacious and airy contemporary dining room and bar at Chambers, a luxury art hotel located in Minneapolis' theater district on Hennepin Avenue. Local restaurant owners D'Amico and Partners and their restaurant chain D'Amico and Sons have bought the space, and will be taking occupancy after Chambers Kitchen closes by month's end this July. On a recent visit to Minneapolis over the Fourth of July weekend, friends and I enjoyed breakfast at Chambers -- perhaps, the best in town -- featuring a great menu, fresh ingredients, and excellent and friendly service. We also headed back for drinks and enjoyed their ginger margarita (superb!) and bloody Mary (delicious). We learned that it would be last call for Chambers before closing down for good. The room will probably not look the same when D'Amico's moves in. Chambers hotel owner Ralph Burnet graces the restaurant interior and lobby with his impressive contemporary art collection, notably the stunning painting "L.W.S.2." (2001) by Ashley Bickerton featuring a spectacular image of a man dressing in a flophouse room, rich in moody sexual detail, and the haunting bust of a middle-aged man by Evan Penny titled "(Old) No One-In Particular #6, Series 2" (2005). The concept of both Chambers Kitchen and Hotel is distinctive, contemporary and fun, and their Kitchen will be greatly missed.

Throw a dinner party without breaking the bank. Some questions to ask yourself.
* How big to you want the party to be? I think that six to eight people is good number to start with and test the waters. That way you’ll have a chance to speak with everyone for at least a bit.
* Who do you want to spend time with? Try to mix people with different interests and personalities to encourage conversations. You might even consider inviting a combination of neighbors and co-workers.
* What kinds of food should you serve? You can keep things informal by choosing finger foods for appetizers. As far as the main course goes, Italian dishes can be relatively easy to prepare and great to serve a large group.
* Should you ask others to bring food? Having others bring a dish can be a wonderful way to lighten your load, and also adds to the diversity of the meal.Throw a dinner party without breaking the bank. Some questions to ask yourself.... more
Designed by Pacific Environments Architects, the Yellow Treehouse Restaurant is a beautiful, beehive-like wooden structure that spirals around a tall tree trunk and looks especially striking at night, glowing from within like a storybook tale. It supports a full bar and seats up to 18 people. Be sure to stop by next time you’re in Auckland, New Zealand. Syke! It’s not even a real restaurant, just part of an elaborate marketing campaign for the New Zealand Yellow Pages. Though, they did serve real people real dinners for a limited time. Currently, they’re no longer taking reservations, but they do have plans to re-open as a permanent dining experience.
The Associated Press files this story about how partitions in restaurants, usually made from glass, are now coming down as a new Utah state law will now allow bartenders to serve patrons alcohol without the barrier that has been required in Utah's dining establishments. The partition -- referred to as a "Zion curtain" -- was sourced from the state's dominant faith from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints regarding the consumption of alcohol as taboo. As such, a glass barrier was intended to reinforce that perspective. However, now that the new law -- which took effect on Tuesday, May 12 -- will allow establishments to eliminate the partition, newly built restaurants will require bartenders to mix drinks in a back room out of view from patrons. AP writer Brock Verkagis contributes this story.

You'd expect that most people would want to make a good impression on their date, be it the first date or the tenth. But maybe that's me giving too much credit to the human species. According to a recent survey, clicking your fingers at the waiter came out on top as the worst thing you can do on a first date. (Frankly, I think that's a major faux pas anytime).
The top 10 list:
1. Clicking fingers at the waiter
2. Adding salt to the meal before tasting it
3. Getting drunk
4. Licking the plate clean
5. Burping
6. Picking teeth with fingers
7. Licking the knife
8. Slurping soup
9. Talking about sex or bodily functions
10. Not leaving a tip
I found this statistic quite humourous: "Around 46 per cent did not like watching someone nearby licking the knife instead of using their fork." What happened to manners?
I'd add talking about ex-relationships... always a turn off. What would you add to this list?You'd expect that most people would want to make a good impression on their date, be... more
