Eating Abroad: Oslo’s Arakataka

August 12, 2016 by Kristin Satterlee 2 Comments

Our first full day in Norway was surprisingly warm. All the packing lists insisted that travelers bring jackets, scarves, and hats – one with the notation YES, EVEN IN SUMMER – but we quickly shed jackets and sweaters, and I even wished for shorts as we explored the open-air Folkemuseum and the Viking Ship Museum.

The Curious Kumquat

April 4, 2016 by Kristin Satterlee 2 Comments

EDIT: The Curious Kumquat closed in June 2016. To learn more about chef Rob Connoley’s food, check out his cookbook Acorns & Cattails. We took a trip to Silver City a couple of weeks ago. Silver City, NM, is on the edge of the gigantic Gila National Forest, a federally protected wilderness larger than the state…

Eating Chicago: Osteria di Eataly

November 19, 2015 by Kristin Satterlee Leave a Comment

Last weekend I was in Chicago for BlogHer Food ’15. They kept us busy with keynotes and breakouts and meals and sponsors, all on the Gold level of the downtown Hyatt, which was nice enough – but underground. So chances to actually see Chicago (or the sky!) were few. One chance came on Saturday with…

Eating PDX: Holdfast Dining, Part 2

November 21, 2014 by Kristin Satterlee Leave a Comment

foie gras, turnip, persimmon Last week I told you about the first half of our amazing experience at fine-dining pop-up Holdfast Dining in Portland, OR. (Read Part 1 here.) I ended that post with the first of three courses of duck. The second course of duck was listed on the menu as “foie gras, turnip,…

Eating PDX: Blue Star Donuts

November 14, 2014 by Kristin Satterlee Leave a Comment

Voodoo Doughnut, it seems, is over. I can’t remember where I read that, but it certainly came up a couple of times as I was studying the best and hottest places to eat in Portland. Voodoo Doughnut, apparently, is for tourists. (Fine, hipsters, but I challenge you to argue with a Maple-Bacon doughnut. But I…

Eating PDX: Holdfast Dining, Part 1

November 12, 2014 by Kristin Satterlee Leave a Comment

scallop, cauliflower, caper, grape Every once in a while, life gifts us with an experience that is purely wonderful from beginning to end. This one started as I was researching places to eat on our trip to Portland: I found an article from The Oregonian naming the 2014 Restaurant of the Year. Such a thing…

Eating PDX: Lauretta Jean’s, and Oregon Baked Goods

November 7, 2014 by Kristin Satterlee Leave a Comment

Oregon is a mecca for baked goods. It must be the weather. When it’s cold and rainy for most of the year, who wouldn’t want to spend a lot of their time in a warm, steamy kitchen, whisking and stirring and pouring and molding and turning out beautiful nuggets of comfort for friends and family?…

Eating PDX: Lan Su Chinese Garden Tea House

November 6, 2014 by Kristin Satterlee Leave a Comment

Last month Arne and I spent a week in Oregon to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary… as well as my ability to eat again. (Sorry, OR friends and family… this was a gooey romantic trip, and we made no room for anyone else.) We had a wonderful time and, of course, ate as much as…

Eating Salt Lake City: Red Iguana

September 10, 2014 by Kristin Satterlee 1 Comment

Once a year – well, most years – Arne and I get together with a group of friends we’ve known for a very long time. Some are friends from college, some from high school. Arne even met one of them in third grade! We rent a house in a different location every year, and just…

Eating NYC: New Year with the Family

January 27, 2014 by Kristin Satterlee Leave a Comment

Over the New Year’s holiday, Arne, my mom, and I went to New York to visit my brother Jeff, his wife Ashley, and their new baby girl, Rory. We took the JetBlue redeye flight – a direct flight that leaves Albuquerque just before midnight and arrives at Kennedy airport at 6:00 in the morning. I’d…
