Omnivore’s 100: Alligator tastes like Crocodile

By Emily | Published: February 3, 2010
The Omnivore’s 100 feature is back!  The reason for the long absence: Crocodile stumped me.

Omnivore’s 100: We Like it Raw & Spicy

By Emily | Published: December 13, 2009

Omnivore’s 100: Venison down, 99 more to go

By Emily | Published: November 20, 2009
A few weeks ago, somone sent me a list of the 100 foods that every person should eat in his or lifetime. The list runs from the ridiculous (road kill) to the standard (a Big Mac meal) to the pricey (a tasting menu at a three-Michelin-star restaurant).
