In a crowded landscape of televised award shows, the CMT Artists of the Year sets out to distinguish its inaugural event, in Franklin, Tennessee, as The One with the Really Good Food.

Just last weekend, I attended a fascinating lecture/demonstration by master chef Masahiko Yanagihara on the use of dashi in Japanese cooking. I learned enough for a whole separate post later, but suffice it to say that I enjoyed the best omelet I have ever tasted.
This Thursday, Nov. 4, there are two interesting events going on at Viking in addition to their regular schedule of classes.
