Like bubble tea and flavor-it-yourself water, kombucha is yet another trendy liquid. It’s a tea-based beverage that’s fermented with yeast and bacteria, which is supposed to yield some kind of “healthful” results — or so we’ve heard. Healthful or not, the stuff does give you a bit of a boost,…
We’ve written before about the vegetarian food at Elway’s Downtown, 1881 Curtis Street. The restaurant remains one of our favorite (and least obvious) places to grab a bite to eat in the area — you wouldn’t think a steakhouse would cater so well to vegetarians, but this one does. In…

No one’s saying you have to go meatless just because it’s Monday — but as incentive to join the growing movement, every week we’re offering an animal-free recipe. My grandma seemed to always have a big bowl of cucumbers and onions to munch on. Crunchy and salty-savory like potatoes –…
