Who is Charlie?

The "East Coast Gourmet"

His name is Charles, though we call him Charlie (which he hates). He phones once in a while and suggests meeting us for lunch or dinner. We always say yes, of course because we never know where we're going to end up or what we're going to eat, but we do know that we'll have one of the best meals of our lives.

A conversation with Charlie always revolves around food. While we eat, he'll tell us about a trip he took to Vermont where he found a wonderful cheese, or a flourless chocolate torte he had last week, or the proper way to prepare oyster stew. And, since he's discovered e-mail, he's constantly sending us recipes, articles he's read about food or wine or restaurants, and maps, whose destination is a small farm or market where the products are fresh, unique, or just delicious.

So, if you're like us - intrigued by fine food - check back periodically to see what Charlie has found for us. In the meantime, be sure to visit Charlie's Kitchen a great resource section for original East Coast recipes, cooking tips, and the latest blogs and food finds from Charlie.
