I love the Food Network, don’t get me wrong, but I don’t get the channel’s new obsession with monstrously portioned diner fare and the world’s most gigantic steaks. I’m even more turned off by the shows where sweaty men competitively muscle their way through 20 pound hamburgers loaded with drippy toppings. In fact, it makes me ill.
I like my food in moderation. I get really stressed out when a waiter brags about the “super large portions” like they are a wonderful gift. One of Ivan and my favorite places to go for late night fare is the Peppermill. This 24 hour tribute to old time Vegas kitsch is so charming with its neon lights and indoor fake palm trees that you could almost excuse them for the fact that they put ten eggs in their omelets. That’s right TEN! I mean, I love the place, but seriously… are TEN EGGS for ONE PERSON necessary???
I digress.
This pasta salad embodies my theory about food. If you have fresh, simple ingredients, you will usually find that less is more.
