It’s October! Halloween! Autumn leaves! Pumpkin Spice!
OK . . . Not everyone likes Pumpkin Spice, but I’m a pumpkin partisan. I crave pumpkin treats, and The Great Food Search has gathered a garland of goodies!
In August, the Great Food Search brought you PIZZA! Pizzas from Clovis, Reedley, Sanger, and Shaver Lake. Was that enough for you?
When it comes to Italian food, spaghetti may be the first thing that comes to mind, but the American Queen of Italian Cuisine is the beloved pizza pie.
Meat. Flame. Smoke. Sauce. Rub. That spells BBQ, barbeque, barbecue, Food of the gods.
Long ago (back in the 2010s) and far away (in Clovis), there was a place called QN4U, a place for everything barbecued and more. It lives on in memory, and The Great Food Search still searches for a worthy successor to carry on its legacy.
It’s Summer! The Fresno County Blossom Trail has lost its bloom, but the Fresno County Fruit Trail is fruiting like crazy! The Great Food Search has gone out, from Fresno to between Reedley and Orange Cove, to pick buy the ripest fruits and veggies of the season!
Trying to come up with a theme for the Great Food Search isn’t always easy. After last month’s column, I had come up with an idea I wanted to try: vegeterranean—vegan and vegetarian food at Mediterranean restaurants. But then, I found a new restaurant in Sanger that is Mediterranean. . . but Oh! That wonderful meat!
In March, we (Well, some of us...) celebrated March 14 as Pi Day (3/14 is the date; the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter is about 3.14). It was celebrated with pies...pizza, apple, Key lime, and more. Since I really like pi and pie, I have decided to unilaterally declare April Pi/Pie Month. Let’s dig in and see what I dug up.
Spring is here, and so is Easter. What foods could I feature for The Great Food Search? I thought about it, and the first thing that came to mind was an Easter Ham. The second thing I thought of was the Easter Egg. Then in a flash of insight, BAM! Sandwiches! There are sandwiches with ham, and there are sandwiches with egg. Of course, the path to figuring out the theme of this GFS was a bit more torturous than that, but “On with the Show!”
Valentine’s Day is over, but echoes of romance remain, so The Great Food Search is here to share a pair of places that reach the heart by way of the stomach. What could be more romantic than a dinner for two?
2023 was quite a year for The Great Food Search, reviewing 34 different eateries. Here’s a top five.
