About this blog

We report on our restaurant meals, and occasionally our travels. These are simply blogposts on what we did, ate, drank, tasted and saw along with our reactions to one meal. We do not claim to be “reviewing” a restaurant, but we hope that our report will be interesting and helpful to many diners when added to the many other reports now available on the web. We do not claim anonymity like most newspaper restaurant reviewers, but we are also not like some bloggers who identify themselves in advance and ask the house to do its best. We have no quarrel with either approach, but they are not our style. We usually just order the regular tasting menu and see what happens. We also know that many of our regular readers, family and friends among them, just like to read what we are up to without even thinking of going to these restaurants. We do not limit our reports to the best and most successful meals. Disappointment is a part of life and we see no point in hiding it. Perhaps some criticism will be beneficial in one way or another. Some of the most interesting reports are from when we were very irritated. 

At the top of the small column on the right of this page, and of all our posts, you will see a listing of our recent reports. You can click on the title of any of these to see the full post.

Just below the Recent Posts is a dropdown categories list. It will show you the wide variety of places we have been. You can click on any place name and see the first few lines of all the posts from that place. You can then click to get the full post of those you find of interest. (Clicking on the “filed in” category at the bottom of each post does not produce the same result; it gives you all WordPress posts with that category or tag; there is a reason for that, but it is too complicated to explain here.)

Right below the categories is a search box where you can quickly find specific words or phrases.

When you see a word or phrase in blue, you can click on it and an explanatory website will pop up.

We do get out and about so we hope you will follow us during the year. To receive an email whenever there is a new post click here.

The Wandering Epicures is one of two successor blogs to CountryEpicure. Before August 2008 posts were filed both by us and by our friends Gary and Varian. (For technical reasons beyond my control their old posts are now shown as having been posted by me, but names are in the text.) Now each couple has its own blog. To see their successor blog, Country Epicure, click on it in the blogroll.
