You know you�ve arrived at Zingerman�s Cornman Farms when you pull up to a multi-story, historic, white farmhouse with large wooden pillars and a wrap-around porch with rocking chairs perfectly in a row, sitting on the edge of sprawling farmland. Look a little further and you�ll begin to see the magic that truly makes this venue and garden so special and unique.

One trend we've been watching for some time is chefs or food bloggers who take traditional or classic dishes and lighten them up to create something with more contemporary appeal. Such is the case with The Lighten Up Cookbook, by author Addie Gundry, who was also a winner of the TV Food Network's Cutthroat Kitchen in 2015. She obviously doesn't shy away from a challenge and in her new book she gives some classic American dishes a makeover.

Here�s one you haven�t seen before: a review of a restaurant that is closed. Obviously, it�s not because we can suggest you go there, even though we really liked the food and they got great reviews from customers. It�s because theirs was a restaurant dream that came to life and then died.

The Big Biscuit is one of those specialty restaurants (with several locations, mostly in the Kansas City area) that hang their hat on one thing, which in this case is a decent sized biscuit. They called them "award-winning biscuits." While I'm not sure who hands out that kind of award, it's fine - I'd give them one for their biscuits, which were fluffy and delicious.

Upon first tasting the Hot Southern Honey, using my finger, the ultimate honey dipper, I was surprised at how the taste progressed. It starts sweet and rich like an all-natural honey should, but the flavor changes as it hits your palate, finishing with the perfect amount of heat. The company's slogan is, "Where Sweet Meets Heat!" and it's fitting. The honey couldn't be described as spicy, it isn't a spicy flavor, but rather a gradual and subtle heated finish of chili infusion.
