The Christiane Chronicles: Servers, at least apologize for bad food

If I tell my server that I had a negative experience, I want him or her to apologize or—if there’s still time—offer a replacement. An appropriate response would be, “I am so sorry. Let me get a manager.” Instead, I'm left boiling mad in my seat and then handed a full check for a half-eaten plate of food.
Haste makes waste

The Christiane Chronicles: Meal delivery services turn haste into waste

I shiver every time I hear an ad for Blue Apron. The New York–based company ships ready-to-cook meals all over the country, with recipes and premeasured ingredients packed in tiny plastic pouches and containers, all tightly surrounded by ice packs. Think of the waste!

Fresh on the Scene: Hopstix, Jai Ho, Muss & Turner’s, One Rooster Mongolian Bar

Thin crust is vanishing

The Christiane Chronicles: Thin-crust pizza makers, you’re doing it wrong

The kind of pizza I like—one with a fully baked, thin but supportive crust—hardly gets any respect anymore. Why is this? Also, the kouign amann is a crunchy and buttery pastry that's maddeningly delicious. Just don't ask me to pronounce it.

The Christiane Chronicles: Where to find great Tamil cuisine in metro Atlanta

Where to find excellent Tamil cuisine in metro Atlanta, plus, can we please be done with Styrofoam, the little coffins made of waxed cardboard, and even the ecoconscious alternatives, which seem to be made of porous materials that suck the life and moisture out of the food?
Christiane Chronicales: Overrated

The Christiane Chronicles: Restaurant health scores are overrated

Chances are neither your kitchen nor mine would get a perfect score from the public health inspectors who show up unannounced at restaurants and issue ratings. Plus, rum is enjoying a cocktail revival, but there are more uses for sugarcane.

The Christiane Chronicles: Restaurant restroom nightmares; Perfect post-meal digestifs

In an ideal world, all public restrooms would have automatic faucets, fresh linens, mouthwash, and those fancy, high-tech toilets from Japan. But that’s not the world we live in. And at the end of a heavy meal, nothing clears the palate and jump-starts digestion quite like a digestif: brandy, Armagnac, eau de vie, grappa.
Peace for Paris by Jean Jullien

After the carnage in Paris, our restaurant columnist recalls its past

Paris is my hometown, a city I love more than any on Earth. And as anyone can tell you who has watched the 1966 movie The Battle of Algiers, Parisians discovered citywide terrorism practically before anyone else.
