At a Macallan event, the brand representative had defined a pour as the measure of the company. So, at an abbreviated assembly of the Kipling Road Society, if one member should entertain a “short” pour should the host take offense? Or, rather should the host accept the short […]
A fews weeks back I did a review of Dublin Square in Cherry Hill. In the review I threw in some parents notes about their kid’s menu and remarked that it may be a nice place to bring the family for lunch or dinner. This past Saturday I […]
As a member of the Scotch Malt Whisky Society, I receive periodic mailings from their magazine Outturn. Since I was looking for a gift for my Pappy and you can almost never go wrong with whisky, I pulled out my whisky decoder in search of a bottle from […]
Since it looks like the bitter cold weather is back, I’ve decided to try a dark and menacing beer this evening. Though 27 degrees is definitely cold (the current temp out there), I really shouldn’t complain, because it’s not going to get above 30 degrees in Kalamazoo, MI […]

Let me start off by saying that I am not the biggest fan of steakhouses. Overpriced and overhyped is how I would describe the vast majority of them. $39 for a 12 ounce steak that doesn’t include the $11 spear of broccoli or the $11 french fries? Much like […]
During a visit to a local liquor mart, I came across a bottle of 10-year-old whisky for $30. While the price caught my eye, I noticed that the Tamdhu was a whisky that I had not tasted. So, not one to pass up a bargain especially for a […]
