CupCakes and CrabLegs: OXO Hand-Held Mandoline Slicer

Love what this little hand held Mandoline for under $20 at Williams-Sanoma made on it's first time out:

Homemade chips for our Oscar Party.

Bon Appetit!

Where The Locals Eat

EXCITED to be listed on Where The Locals Eat:

“Where the Locals Eat spotlights the best restaurants in America. We prefer to highlight local restaurants that contribute to the dining culture of a city, striving to avoid chain restaurants in our selections (with a few notable exceptions - like smaller regional chains). Both WhereTheLocalsEat.com and our LocalEats iPhone App includes thousands of listings, from pizza parlors and delis to the finest steakhouses and sushi bars. Each listing includes price range, maps, directions, user feedback, menus and more.”

We LOVE Where The Locals Eat. Gives you insight into all of the choices that are available at local restaurants when you hit a new town or are looking for a new spot in your very own neighborhood.

Cesar Mascorro Perez - Tequila Expert

I am delighted that my dear friend, César Mascorro Pérez has agreed to be the resident Tequila expert on CupCakesandCrabLegs.

Tequila and Cesar are two words I always pair together!

As a former Regional Manager at Bancomext (The Mexican Trade Commission – Guadalajara) he was in charge of exports for tequila and worked with the US, Central America, South America, Japan. Singapore, Hong Kong, China, Russia, United Kingdom, Germany and Holland. Also as a consultant to Tequilas Del Señor he implemented and developed new tequila markets especially in the European Union.

He has been an advisor to many international companies on Tequila including my former school, the Universidad de Guadalajara Pro Tequila Industry in collaboration with the University of Notre Dame.

Ask any question about tequila and he has an answer... except maybe the morning after cure which we are all still looking for!

Salud and Bienvenido! Fun posts on tequila and its pairing with magnificent food to follow!

Why I Run...

I must admit that one of the reasons I run is because I love to eat.

I run for ice cream and chocolate.

I also run for the medals and the t-shirts.

I run to discover how far I can push myself.

I love to run on Saturday morning and go up the tunnel across the street from the Drake Hotel and see the Chicago skyline. It never fails to take my breath away and remind me why I live in and love Chicago.

After 10 miles I am pretty sure I run for steak and eggs at the Breakfast Club (1381 W Hubbard St Chicago, IL 60642

(312) 666-2372).

The best recovery food ever!
