I get a lot of flak about the fact that my reviews often have black-and-white photos with them now that they appear in the Arts & Life Today section. I totally agree that food looks better in color; but, of course, I can't do anything about it. If they let writers have control over such things, my reviews would not only run in color but on the front page. Maybe with a banner headline.

However, I can run the photo in color on this blog, which I'll be happy to do. Here's the Bouillabaisse Thai Style with shrimp, lobster and scallops at the Kings Contrivance in Columbia that appeared in black and white in yesterday's paper.
