They could have worked a little harder on the name. Yes, there’s always the danger of getting too cute in naming a blog. But Eats? Calling the name vanilla does a disservice to the fine flavor of vanilla. But the blog itself is worth a visit. For instance, I learned from reading Eats that “Avner Samuel recently took delivery of a custom-designed Christofle champagne cart (said to be the only one in the US) that took four and a half years to craft by hand.” Good for knowing.
