All Good Meals Must Come to an End.

It's been a blast!  But, "Knife and Fork" (in the manner that you knew them) will be taking a slight rest.  For now. 

I, as a columnist, am shopping my style of restaurant reviewing around as I still have lots of places I want to dine at and report upon all while possibly sharing commonalities through storytelling with you.  I mean really, where else but the table do we have the time to talk and share these days anyway?

It was a good run with K and F at The Blade but, as a writer, I need to grow and--as you've seen from the recent lack of posts--I feel stifled with no outlet for my creativity.  K and F will resurface soon...if only in different form.  They may have left this particular restaurant full, but they are not satisfied. 

In a fitting finale of sorts here is a link to the story of the Blade's demise written about in the new "gay paper" of South Florida (which has no connection to The Blade) with a photo of me (surprise!) and silly quote regarding the matter.  Notice how I am finally, at long last, given public credit for being the columnist of "Knife and Fork" (something my own paper had, sadly and most frustratingly, failed to do in nearly one year and a half).  Recognition feels good.

There's lots of places we've got on our agenda--a trip to Italy (both Venice and Rome), P-Town again, Naples to see my childhood idol, Melissa Gilbert play Ma in "Little House:The Musical" (I know!) and food is always at the forefront of those trips so, one way or another, I'll be reviewing them the only way I know how: honestly with a dash of humor and a sprinkle of camp.
