In the shameless colleague promotion department, check out Army Archerd's new blog. "Hollywood's first blogger" reports on show business news of course, but also celeb-related restaurant news like the sale of Matteo's, one of Frank Sinatra's favorite restaurants.

The New York Times reviews Suzanne Goin's Lucques Sunday Suppers, which looks to be a fine holiday present for someone...like me.

Here's a useful article from last week's San Francisco article, "Was it something I ate?" on what to do if you suspect food poisoning. I could have used this article when I got sick last year from eating at a popular not-to-be-named local non-ethnic restaurant.
