...School. Usually five or six guys strong, we’ve played countless games and endured epic battles of knock-out, twenty-one, and three-on-three. Quickly, we established traditions: watching movies afterwards at the theater next door, eating all our post-game meals at the nearby Gemini Diner, constantly joking and talking trash. Each day, someone would inevitably hear a gibe about their mother and/or sister which would have made Marco Materazzi blush...
...SMALL PLATES CINDY PAWLCYN Famed for her work at Fog City Diner, Mustards Grill and Cindy's Backstreet Kitchen, Pawlcyn has been an integral part of the California dining scene for more than two decades. In this book, her third, she culls the best small plates from each of her restaurants, including starters, soups and sweets.

With a culinary school in town, of course there's good eating. Federal Hill - center of the city's large Italian community - is one of America's best, if least known, Little Italys; try one of the many raviolis - plump with lobster...
...just Moscow-based firms that are looking to expand. Pavel Kukarskikh left his native Yekaterinburg for Ottawa, Canada, when the 1998 financial crisis hit, convinced it was impossible to do business in Russia. Three years later he was back, and today he runs 16 kebab stands, a family diner called Sunday and McPeak, a burgeoning hamburger chain with eight outlets that he says McDonald's recently offered to buy. McDonald's says it approached him as part of its attempt to find prime locations for its own restaurants as it expands across Russia. He's trying to turn McPeak...
