		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t pretend to make a subtle statement when I choose lunch at Cafe Vicino over Guy Fieri&#8217;s &#8220;Kulinary&#8221; road show, scheduled for later the same day. I love T-shirt firing bazookas and Metallica blasting over fat speakers as much as the next guy, but Food Network&#8217;s Fieri and his cooking-show-on-steroids ain&#8217;t my cup of tea (or tequila shooter). In fact, I&#8217;m peeved Food Network, and it&#8217;s cable brethren have so effectively eclipsed the quiet, contemplative side of cooking with a nearly 24/7 culinary carnival. Cafe Vicino is a refuge from all that bombast, peroxide and choreographed competitiveness. The walls here are a soft white, austere; the furniture dark, comforting; the room full of hushed conversation, piano jazz. A woman sits alone at one table, reading a hardback as she leisurely spoons tomato basil soup ($4/cup, $6.50/bowl) to her lips. At a lesser place, she might feel uncomfortable, rushed. After all, it&#8217;s busy. Instead, she&#8217;s a picture of serenity. I like the tomato basil soup myself, a puree made pink with a splash of cream. But today I order a house salad ($6.50). It&#8217;s another example of Cafe Vicino&#8217;s gift for making the understated delicious. The chopped romaine, the creamy [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Food Network star Guy Fieri (no relation) is descending on the Northwest this weekend with his &#8220;Kulinary Krew&#8221; roadshow and rock concert.  Fieri garnered good vibes not long ago for giving national attention — on his &#8220;Diners, Drive-ins and Dives&#8221; TV show — to Portland eateries like Pine State Biscuits and Bunk Sandwiches and Boise&#8217;s Gernika Basque Pub and the West Side Drive-In. Alas, not all foodies love Guy Fieri.  Writing in the Oregonian, Grant Butler gives these five reasons why some of the food-loving among us may want to steer clear of this tour: 5. &#8220;Triple D,&#8221; as he&#8217;s nicknamed his show, causes headaches. There&#8217;s not a single video edit that&#8217;s longer than 3 seconds. Ritalin, STAT! 4. He actually does have a couple of restaurants called Tex-Wasabi&#8217;s, serving barbecue with California-style sushi. Seriously. We&#8217;re all for fusion cooking, but some things should not be fused. 3. He&#8217;s been a spokesperson for T.G.I. Friday&#8217;s, which in the food world is like Placido Domingo singing the praises of Adam Lambert. 2. A flair bartender as an opening act? How Tom Cruise, circa 1988! 1. What&#8217;s with the backward sunglasses, bleached hair and incessant use of phrases like &#8220;off da hook&#8221;? Dude, [...]]]></description>
