Chef Hung Nguyen of Kenichi in Dallas has announced his Second Annual Sake Festival that will take place at the Victory Park restaurant Friday May 6, 2011 from 5 to 8pm. This year’s festival has more of a purpose that just educating the public about fantastic sakes. Coming off the heels of a trip to Japan, Hung and his group just barely missed the devastation. This festival will benefit not only those suffering in Japan but also the more recent tragedies in the Southern United States. Continue reading

Kate is not the daughter of Mr. Bean

By now the delightful royals are off in a chain of celebrations after publicly displaying their love and affection. Crave has been eerily silent on the whole William and Kate debacle going on across the pond and today and we feel that we have underserved our readers, even slighted a few by not coming up with some type of report for the auspicious day.

In an attempt to bridge this lack of royal love (and a friend suggested I might have Kate-envy) we sent our dedicated research department flying across the internet to find the perfect bit of memorabilia so that we too can say we were part of this regal event so many years from now.
Take a jump to see what they came up with! Continue reading

The Caprino Royale Bloombonnet is one of editor Steven Doyle’s favorite local cheeses, so we are sure he will be back with a fistful of stories to tell. There are still available seats for the tour. Here are the details from Scardello’s website: Continue reading
