Merry Wynter and Percival “Pish” Lincoln are hosting an elegant inaugural gala to introduce the Wynter Woods Center for the Performing Arts. Guests will travel via luxury party buses from Manhattan to Western New York for the opportunity to dress to the nines and have a holiday experience
We at KRL are always on the lookout for businesses that are unique, and Coffein Coffee Co. in Clovis fits that bill perfectly. Interviewing them during Halloween month also felt like a perfect fit—from their coffin shaped coffee bags (which can be packaged in a tiny little coffin), to their interest in bat rescue—what could be better!
Burgertime, Burgertime, Burg-Burg-Burgertime! Yes, the Great Food Search is back with another set of oh-so-good places where you can burger out as summer turns to fall.
It is the middle of Key West, Florida’s summer mango season, which is why food columnist Hayley Snow Bransford is helping to host her magazine’s cocktail party on a Hemmingway-inspired yacht. The Pilar Too being wooden and not constructed out of the more modern fiberglass material means that it’s also highly flammable, something that comes into play when an explosion has Hayley and the rest of the guests diving into the ocean to escape death.
My wife and I love to travel the world, but we can’t afford it, so . . . we travel on our stomachs, eating food from different cultures. Cuisines from many parts of the world can be sampled without leaving Central California. The Great Food Search has featured Mexican food, Italian, Vietnamese, Hmong, Mediterranean, and now . . . Indian.
It’s June, and Kings River Life has been saluting Pride month in many ways—organizations, activities, artists, and literature. How could The Great Food Search honor Pride Month? By exploring LGBTQ+-owned eateries in the Fresno area. The Great Food Search tried a trio of them, and they seemed to fall into interesting categories—The New, The Old, & the Upscale. Take a look.
For Vikki Mitchell and her husband Pat, coffee is more than a daily habit—it’s a way to build community. As the owners of The Human Bean Central California, they’ve turned their love of coffee and community into a thriving network of locally focused drive-thru coffee shops across the Central Valley and Central Coast.
Sure, I call myself “a vegetarian who appreciates a good steak,” but there are times I want to say, “Go Fish.” I admit there are times I’ve had strange seafood-dining experiences, including a plate of little more than bones, a few bits of flesh, and a head. This time around, The Great Food Search has found some tasty offerings to share.
I’ve lived in Fresno County since 1980 (plus three years at Fresno State). I’ve been to a lot of restaurants, and I’ve been to some restaurants lots. I’m going to share a few of my go-to places where I ought to earn frequent-flyer discounts.
When Fresno’s Rogue Festival comes to the Tower District in February and March, I am there, to review shows . . . and to eat. Over the years, I have written many Great Food Search articles in March about restaurants in the area. I have been asked, “Haven’t you eaten at every place in the Tower that serves food?” and my answer is, “Not yet.”
