This Weekend in 'New York Times' Food News

Vodka Lives On: Vodka may have been overexposed, overmarketed, and overpoured. But it doesn’t warrant scorn.
Almond Sour Cream Cake: It's elegant, flavorful, and makes a perfect birthday cake.
Tom Colicchio's Pad: The chef hates okra, loves boxing, and collects guitars.
Digging for Dinner: Bristling with oysters, clams, mussels and crabs, the shores along this Washington State canal are ripe for a shellfish safari.
Blackberry-Bourbon Juleps: A mint julep recipe from Bobby Flay.
A Spoiled Appetite: From Moby-Dick to Naked Lunch to Gravity’s Rainbow, bad eating makes for good reading.
Hosteria Doña Tina in Santiago, Chile: This restaurant serves the hearty, rustic specialties that are considered true Chilean cooking, like empanadas, arrollado, and plateada, a kind of succulent corned beef brisket.
Stir-Fried Snow Peas With Soba: In addition to being tasty, this meal is rich in fiber and vitamins.
Travel: Prawn in coconut milk sauce and cardamom-laced mutton rezala stew in Calcutta; 36 hours in Oakland, Calif.; wine bars and trendy bakeries in Taojin Lu, and up and coming neighborhood in Guangzhou; Amish Indiana is home to country-fried chicken and Dutch apple pie.
Hudson Street Eats: There's a lot to explore on Hudson, like New French's chopped chicken livers and chili crab in spicy sauce at Fatty Crab.
Life After Top Chef: These days, Leah Cohen runs the kitchen at Centro Vinoteca. Not all of the former contestants have work or plans.
Bubbles from Argentina: Trapiche, Argentina’s largest wine producer, exports a nonvintage sparkler that rivals pricier Californian counterparts.

I will continue to ignore the "vodka is passe" trend. More for me. Have fun with that brown stuff.

I'm sorry Bobby but blackberry julep is an IDIOTIC IDEA.
