As hot as it is outside, how about some beautiful delicious crab cakes? Morton’s crab cakes are incredible, and they are so easy to make. I usually make enough to have leftovers the next day…what a treat.
Morton's The Steakhouse
Colossal crab cakes
Morton’s crab cakes are my favorite! The jumbo lumps of crab are delicious and there’s almost no filler – this is a wonderful dish.
Late Breaking Ideas for Father's Day
I heard a news report recently that said a lot of men on Father’s Day want to spend the day doing what ‘they’ want to do and that their choice is usually an activity that doesn’t involve the entire family… like golf. However, if that special father in your life chooses to dine in style […]
Favorite Summer Wines
What’s your favorite wine? It’s a question I’m often asked, and the answer is ’what’s your budget?’ There is a correlation between price and quality, BUT there are also some VERY good wines that don’t cost a lot of money…especially wines that work well with our summer heat
Help for Aching Spurs Fans
Evenings aren’t the same this time of year without the Spurs in the playoffs! You and I feel it, and don’t think local restaurants and bars aren’t feeling it too. There is a consolation though. Challenging times call for creative measures, and some of SA’s finest have stepped up. Brasserie Pavil, voted SA’s best new […]
Perfect Dinner Idea: Lobster
Summertime is here and I’ve got the perfect dinner idea – lobster. It’s great this time of year and a lot easier to prepare than you might think.
Fire Up the Grill
Memorial Day weekend and we’re firing up the grill – actually we fire up the grill routinely. I’m a huge red wine fan, so it’s usually a steak of some sort that goes on our grill. We spice them up with a ‘Montreal’ seasoning that you can get at HEB even though my friend, the […]
How to Prepare Lobster
Morton’s steaks are so good it’s hard to even look at anything else on the menu. So, do the surf and turf…it’s an easy item to split with that special someone.
Mother's Day Ideas

First up, Blanca Aldaco’s w/Aldaco’s Stone Oak has a delicious recipe for a Breakfast Chile Relleno that is very easy to make. Click on the […]
Playing Tourist in SA
After living in SA for 25+ years it’s easy to get complacent about Fiesta. Over the years from time to time, I admit I’ve fallen into that category. I vow to do better! This past week we were shooting a video segment for Boudro’s on the River Walk. (our newest partner on the site). What […]
Don't Watch the News!
This is not a column about sour grapes…I have a tremendous respect for my friends and colleagues in the news business, BUT… They work very hard to do a good job. My beef is more at the national level. Since 9-11 and up until I left WOAI last year, viewers constantly told me they don’t […]
What To Do New Year's Eve
Looking for a place to celebrate New Year’s Eve? Maybe a quiet dinner or dinner/party combo? With all of the new restaurants in town there are lots of choices. I’ve selected a few you might be interested in. Also, I have an idea for New Year’s Day.
Your Favorite Restaurant
I get asked that question all the time! That’s a tough one to answer. I don’t have a single favorite restaurant. It goes without saying that all the restaurants featured on my site fall into that category – I asked Morton’s, Paloma Blanca’s and Luciano’s to be on the website here because I am a […]
