The internet can be a such a delicious place. For your edification, here are a few links to what's cooking in the world of restaurants and food today.

The Ken Burns 3-Part Documentary, "Prohibition," is set to air Sunday on PBS. I'd say his timing is just about right on this, given the recent nostalgia for the 20's of late.

LIFE presents an illustrated guide on how to eat sushi, complete with slightly embarrassing photos of Eva Mendes and Russell Simmon - they're just like us: they eat too much wasabi at once too! Spoiler alert: California rolls are not from Japan.

Hide your wife. Hide your kids. Killer cantaloupes may not have done their worst yet, from Grub Street.

Anthony Bourdain breaks his own rules of travel on a family vacation and previews the upcoming New Orleans episode of "No Reservations." My kingdom for an oyster po' boy.

NCAA Tournament Dining Guide, Rounds 1-3

Monday March 12, 2012

It's the most wonderful non-holiday time of the year. March Madness is upon us! Suddenly those who don't gamble are a shunned minority. Wings and chips will comprise most of our diets (sorry vegetables, you're just not clutch in high anxiety situations). Brackets will be busted by buzzers beaters. Office productivity will decline 80%. And Dick Vitale will likely drool on his shirt, having excited himself into a catatonic state. NCAA basketball fans traveling to watch their favorite teams need not go hungry or resort to stadium food in an unfamiliar city, though. We've got you covered for the first three rounds with great locally owned restaurants in the cities hosting tournament games. And we've even mapped out restaurants in proximity to the tournament venues.
