Well, team, we did it. Our blog has been so successful that we had our first (albeit only) “Dear Wingo” letter: a request for a recipe using forlorn kale and dejected eggplant. Who am I to judge the state of your vegetables? The following is a Facebook Messenger exchange between myself and someone we’ll call […]
Dear Readers,Anjali finally wrote this recipe for her dreamy french toast. Enjoy.RSW I made French toast, and started writing this recipe about 14 years ago, back at the start of quarantine. And, back when the dark humor mixed with New Jersey sarcasm didn’t seem all that mean. Alas, it took me until today to finish […]

Wingo Mac is a long-guarded secret […]
Did you try the delicious, fluffy buttermilk pancakes? Are you annoyed because you bought too much buttermilk and don’t know what else to do with it? Look no further than this buttermilk biscuit recipe. These were *good* but not *great.* It’s probably my fault. The butter wasn’t super cold. The honey butter glaze was magnifique. […]
