Avocados are never perfectly ripe – Food Rant

It could definitely be just me. I seem to have trouble with finding the balance of ripeness, what with my banana issues and all. Maybe a life-long New Englander just isn’t fit to attempt bringing an avocado to ripeness. The Californians are laughing heartily right now, I’m sure…. Here’s the problem: here on the east […]

Really fresh eggs – Breakfast at Cliqueany’s

I know, I know — we’re obsessed with eggs here at CliqueClack Food. I am almost afraid to count the disproportionately huge amount of posts we’ve written about eggs, but is that really a negative thing? Nah…. You know that “brown eggs are local eggs, and local eggs are fresh” commercial from your childhood? Yeah, […]

Baseball, nachos and Fries – A gastronomical Home Run

Now that baseball season is here, I have been able to partake in one of my favorite pastimes. I like to sit and watch baseball and eat ball park food. No, I do not mean a bowl of soup like you can get in A T & T Park in San Francisco. I mean real […]

Who wants to take a shot? – Maki Clack

Scott Shulman’s back Guest-clacking for us again, after sharing his thoughts about just how super Ina Garten is in his last post…. I was sitting at my go-to sushi place the other night and noticed a man and woman having what can only be described as an awkward first date. The guy (Guy) had rigid […]

A burger with its own zip code – Fast Food Generation

Ah, baseball! Just the mere mention of the word conjures up sounds and smells from days of yore. The aroma of fresh cut grass, for instance. Or the sound of pine against the rawhide of the ball. Oh, and we can’t forget the scent of a player on the verge of roid rage. Then there’s the […]

Pomegranate and Chocolate – Perfect Pairs

It seems like every now and then a certain food becomes very trendy. A while back it was sun dried tomatoes, then portabello mushrooms, and a couple years ago it seemed like Manchego cheese was on every menu I looked at. These days, the pomegranate has pierced the food zeitgeist. I’m not complaining, mind you. […]

Barefoot Contessa is Superman

Scott Shulman, our Guest-clacker today,  is a screenwriter living in Los Angeles until he can retire to San Diego. I was watching an episode of Barefoot Contessa the other day, marveling at the venerable Ina Garten, and something suddenly occurred to me — she is Superman.  Not in the sense that she’s going to leap […]

Grilled wheat and gluten-free pesto sausage and goat cheese pizza

If you’re not up to trying the non-wheat variety of pizza dough, you’re sort-of missing out when it comes to grilling. I’ve had better luck using gluten-free dough on my grill than the standard pizza dough, as it shrinks less, retains more of that grill smoky flavor, and has the perfect crunch. There’s really not […]
