Passover, as Jewish holidays go, is a pain in the butt. Never mind the cooking, the cleaning, and the lugging out dishes and silver that are used just once each year. These things are not the problem. In fact, I don’t mind them all that much. The problem for me is that in not eating […]

When LeBron James left Cleveland, my sister was distraught. “But you have Michael Symon,” I exclaimed. Who needs LeBron? Of course that is my distorted view of the world.
