We nosh until we can nosh no more at Noosh Nosh

We find friendly folks and good East African eats at Safari Grill
How big is Africa? Africa is so big that you could fit the U.S., China, India, Japan and most of the countries of Europe neatly within its borders and still have plenty of nooks and crannies left for more. You’ve probably seen the colorful map that shows this; it’s all over the Internet.
How big is Africa? About 1.5 billion people live there, or almost 1 out of every 7 humans on Earth. That’s about the same as the total population of Europe, North and South America.

Tater Tots ($8) at Equus are house-made with Cheddar and served with earthy truffle aioli. They’re crunchy fried spheres, and we ate them all, but I can’t say they seemed “totty.” They act more like floury fritters. Is this a bug or a feature?
We try not to go all snob on Guy Fieri’s Smokehouse
Guy Fieri has brought his brand to town, and local foodies are all atwitter. The jokes just write themselves, and you can find them all over social media.
I’ve been trying to stay above the fray by ignoring it. I sent regrets on an invitation to a public relations extravaganza at the new Guy Fieri’s Smokehouse in Fourth Street Live. Apparently, if my colleague Michael Powell is to be believed, that soiree attracted a deplorable pack of food writers and bloggers with noses uniformly raised and pinkies delicately extended.
