Have you ever had baked feta before?
"If they aren't fresh, don't serve them," should always be included in a restaurant's list of cardinal rules.
The last bites of #mignardise from a meal leave a lasting impression. If they aren't fresh, don't serve them #StaleMacaron

For all the New Yorkers that are "backyard-challenged," make a trip to Hometown Bar-B-Que to sate your barbecue fix.
Talk about sweet (and sometimes savory) dreams.
Am I the only person who dreams about perfect #souffles? Tall rise, no cracks, creamy center, golden top #FoodForThought
