...Fortunately for Kurlansky, there's a new guide to help people venture off the culinary highway. Written by foodie progressives who savor Chicago's pizza as well as its beef sandwiches and chicken Vesuvio and scads of old-school offerings across the country, Jane and Michael Stern's 500 Things to Eat Before It's Too Late refers not to a diminishing American landscape but to the limited number of eating opportunities in our life spans. It's a bucket list of restaurants serving local, often obscure dishes, ranked cheerily from best to almost best. The Sterns' nation...

Last December Cutié blasted Playboy's Mexican edition for what he called a "blasphemous" cover photo that depicted a model as the Virgin Mary. On his shows on the Radio Paz (Radio Peace) network and in his columns and books, like Ama de Verdad, Vive de Verdad (Real Love, Real Life...
