8:15 Early gets the day off to good start
Located just off Cerrillos Road in an unremarkable commercial complex, 8:15 Early takes its name from its address. I'd read praise for this spot for months, and wondered if it would live up to the advanced billing. Indeed it did.   (Friday, November 21, 2008)

La Mancha lights up dark winter nights

Come Downtown for taste of Afghanistan
It was the spring of 2002 when Albuquerque added a new ethnicity to its culinary map, the Tora Bora House. Afghan food was unexpected, given the timing relative to world events (not to mention a few of its more aromatic dishes), but was similar enough to other Middle Eastern fare that the restaurant did pretty well until closing less than two years later. Since then I've yearned for more Afghan cuisine, and at Zohra Authentic Foods I'm finally getting a taste.   (Thursday, November 13, 2008)

Soup's on and delicious at Saigon
Fall creeps up on all of us, whispering in our ears with a cool breeze through the sunbeams. Then suddenly it is November, and darkness begins to fall just past the stroke of 5 p.m. It's the season of soup, and there are few better places for a belly full of noodles and beef broth than Saigon Vietnamese Restaurant.   (Thursday, November 06, 2008)

Delicasa's sandwiches not ordinary fare
Sometimes, nothing hits the spot like a well-made sandwich. The folks at Delicasa seem to understand this intrinsically. More than half of the menu here consists of heartwarming combinations of bread, meat, cheese and other goodies.   (Thursday, November 06, 2008)
