This real pizza pro still works as a consultant with Bir & Fud (light-hearted Italianisation of "Beer & Food"), a small beer bistro opened with friends in July 2007. Here you find all kinds of artisanal Italian beers (the Birra del Borgo and Troll brewery are excellent!), which are served with a range of simple, tasty food, as well as, of course, a dozen round pizzas, created by Bonci. It is a friendly place with a convivial atmosphere and very moderate prices.  

College student Meagan Jones likes to cook, but she is not adverse to eating out. The economy, however, has forced her to reduce the number of times she dines out from weekly to around twice a month, said Jones, who was at the new RedBrick Pizza here. She is not alone in being cautious about spending her money.

A landmark east side Milwaukee restaurant which burned down in January may not be rebuilt after all. Two months to the day after it was destroyed, Deanna Amidzich returned to the scene of her livelihood, the Pizza Man restaurant. The massive fire that destroyed it and three other businesses Jan. 19 was ruled an arson, but there's been no word on any suspects, or arrests.

It's surprising how few decent, affordable lunch places there are in River North. Many Reader staffers wind up ordering from Star of Siam downstairs by default; the neighborhood's sandwich options are limited to chains (Subway, Jimmy John's, Potbelly) or pricier places like the Cafe at Nordstrom's.

It's somehow fitting that J. Patrick Doyle, president and new CEO of Ann Arbor based Domino's Pizza, spent his first days on the job last week in India and Saudi Arabia. On Thursday, he opened Domino's 300th outlet in India and its 65th new location there this year, making India the pizza-delivery chain's fastest-growing market. "In the next three to five years, our sales outside the U.S. will surpass our sales here," Doyle, 46, said Thursday in his first extensive interview since taking the reins fro

With a grim economy forcing people to forgo dinners out on the town more Americans are eating at home. While it's unclear whether they are doing their or own cooking or cheating (ordering-in), research points to a growing demand for electronics that speed up the preparation of in-home cooking. Sales of small kitchen electrics, a $3.8 billion market, rose almost 9 percent from 2008 to 2009 while sales of housewares, utensils such as pots, pans and knives, dropped 11.5 percent, according to research condu  

When I was first diagnosed with celiac, almost five years ago now, I was lucky. I had been so sick, and I was so clear that cutting out gluten made a profound difference in my life, that I embraced this. That doesn't mean I went without grieving.  

More than 70 people from the Sonoma Valley who ate at a popular pizzeria said identity thieves have racked up bogus charges on their credit cards.
