    Aloo paratha at Annapurna Simply Vegetarian
    I first ate at this 43-year-old South Indian standby during an informal Devon Avenue food crawl with my friends.

    MARCH 26
    1831—The founder of the Afri­can Methodist Episcopal Church Church, Richard Allen, dies at age 71 in Philadelphia, Pa.

    Nemanja Milunovic returns to the next Monday Night Foodball
    I’ve been hoarding Nemanja Milunovic’s bread for more than three years. It was just last fall that I was spelunking the dark, forgotten recesses of my freezer when I came across my very last somun.
