The Ides of March is almost here, which brings with it a history lesson about Julius Caesar, who was warned about going to the senate and who earlier in his career famously said, “Veni, Vidi, Vici” (meaning: “I came, I saw, I conquered”).
Today, Chef Swanky delves into the history of another Caesar, who takes us from “Veni, Vidi, Vici” to “Veni, Vidi, Edi” (“I came, I saw, I ate”) with this video:
And remember: Stay away from the Senate. No, not those of you in Congress. You congresspersons need to get your butts to work. The rest of us: Go find a restaurant that has a good caesar salad and enjoy!

It’s almost Halloween, and that means it’s time for trick-or-treaters and those bite-sized chocolates that I always save for myself, let those dressed-up beggars have all the jolly ranchers and candy corn … ahem, maybe I’ve said too much.
What I mean is: It’s time for tales of mischief and mayhem. Including tales about food!
Like this one: Ever wonder about why we scoop out, cut up, and light pumpkins? Chef Swanky does!
