Weekend links.

A wonderfully productive week here at A to Za'atar, full of great food and conversation, how was yours?

• Best holiday gifts for your favorite foodie who travels.
• A couple who decide to take their love of casual dining to the next level...by naming their daughter after a well-known chain restaurant.
• This is a perfect version of my interests coming together -- food diagrams of a royal chef.
• Can I interest you in a game of Prosecco pong?
• A diner that caters to the blind in New York.
• Another food gift guide.  (Spoiler alert: I live for gift guides... This time of year is like my Christmas).

This weekend is centered around two holiday parties with friends and a secret dining experience on Saturday night -- keep an eye on my Instagram to see what it's all about.
