A New Year

No one, and I mean NO ONE (ourselves included), thought that Rene and I could sustain this blog for more than 2 or 3 days. Let's face it: Rene started writing this whole thing out of sheer boredom. But here we are. Ten months after the fact, and still going strong. Here is a quick recap of our past hijinks and a brief look at what's to come.

The First Annual "Dude, You Were So Blackened Out Last Year" Awards

• Restaurant of the Year: Cochon - How could we not select a restaurant devoted to all things pork?
• Food Event of the Year: Taste of the Town - The NOWFE Vintner Dinner and the LRA Expo both deserve honorable mentions.
• Blog Character Least Likely to Succeed: Legend - If only we had a video camera rolling that night.

New Year's Resolutions

• Peter: Upon Rene's suggestion, I am going to attempt what has been dubbed "The Challenge" - No repeating eating in any restaurant for the entire year. So many times we talk about restaurants and say, "Oh, I have never been there." Hopefully this will give me a reason to try new places. I'll try to figure out a way to post a running tally of all of the places that I have eaten. Second, I am going to try to take more (and better pictures) in my quest to become more like Robert Peyton.
• Rene: Though I personally can't speak for my partner-in-crime, I can tell you this: the guy can cook... and brew beer... and make satsuma limoncello ... and cure meats. He has been documenting his latest experiments in the kitchen, so I don't want to spoil it for you.

Thanks for taking the ride with us so far. As long as you keep reading, we'll keep eating.
