By Paul Suplee, MBA, CEC, PC-3 It is hard to look down at the little time and date stamp on my computer and realize that March will soon be departing us. Boy, time flies when you’re having fun. Wait, is anyone having fun out there? I hope you are, and as the weather is breaking… Read more »
By Paul Suplee, MBA, CEC, PC-3 Last year was a year to end all years. I have been fishing for decades, but until I met my girlfriend four years ago, I had been limited to river, pond and bay fishing — namely the Chesapeake. I love fishing the bay, but it wasn’t until 2018 that… Read more »
By Paul Suplee, MBA, CEC, PC-3 I did it. I finally did it. After almost 40 years of trying, I actually made a good pizza crust. And not just good, but nigh perfect. Of course, I cannot take credit for this, but rather fell across a pizza madman on YouTube named Vito Iacobelli. I highly… Read more »
By Paul Suplee, MBA, CEC, PC-3 One of the most frustrating parts of being a chef is finding that beautiful “Lesser Cut” of meat that no one knows about yet, and then all of a sudden everyone knows about it. In the past, it was the Teres Major or beef clod, a cut isolated from… Read more »
By Paul Suplee, MBA, CEC, PC-3 Is it summer yet? Or even spring? No, and if I must be honest, I could go for a couple more snowstorms before the weather breaks.

I was fortunate enough to jump on a commercial fishing trip out of Wanchese, heading out a mere 39 miles offshore to balmy 75-degree water and an ambient air temperature of 60. It was truly strange as… Read more »
By Paul Suplee, MBA, CEC, PC-3 As much as I love the snow, I lament not protecting my babies this winter. I never chopped down my banana palms and covered the roots with insulation as is the annual ritual, and frankly they haven’t asked to come down. Typically, and especially in cold winters, they will… Read more »
By Paul Suplee, MBA, CEC, PC-3 It is that time of year again, a time when it is important, if not imperative, to bake breads. With the chilly weather and rain-sleet-snow mix abound, there is nothing like the smell of bread rising in the kitchen to warm the hearts and minds of people around you…. Read more »
By Paul Suplee, MBA, CEC, PC-3 Whether it’s at my “real job” teaching culinary at Wor-Wic Community College, or at one of my restaurants, I am always in a mode of research and development. There is no rest for the weary, and as Robert Strauss so famously noted, “Success is a little like wrestling a gorilla…. Read more »
By Paul Suplee, MBA, CEC, PC-3 I sit on a warm, cozy couch in St. Augustine, reminiscing an extraordinary Italian meal that my daughter and I ate last night. I peer at the posts of the friends and family up north dealing with the snow and ice, and I have to admit that I feel guilty… Read more »
