A Triple Threat to Your Wallet, Your Waistline and Your Idea About Burritos

February 24, 2010

I’m a semi-frequent watcher of Throwdown with Bobby Flay on Food Network.  I like the concept of an Iron Chef challenging and surprising other cooks and chefs to make what they do best, while he does his own interpretation of their specialty. I also like that sometimes Bobby wins and other times he has to [...]

The Green Table

February 18, 2010

This review is more than a little overdue, but sometimes the pleasurable things in life, like blogging, take a back seat to the day to day grind. This past summer while Joel, Wade and I were in New York City, we made the pilgrimage to that foodie mecca, Chelsea Market. While I was actually underwhelmed [...]

Dalliance at Dahlia’s is Always a Pleasure

November 22, 2009

Consistency is perhaps one of the hardest things to achieve in a restaurant. Tom Douglas, owner of six restaurants in the Seattle, puts out some consistently excellent restaurants. This is why the Dahlia Lounge is one of my favorite places to have dinner. This is not just because they are attached to the Dahlia Bakery [...]

Michael Mina’s SeaBlue Las Vegas

November 10, 2009

I’m back in Las Vegas this week for yet -another- conference and I thought I’d take some of my quiet down time (that I never seem to get at home) to let you know about one of the great dining spots we visited last month. When we were in Las Vegas in October for Blog [...]

Andina Good Only in Small Bites

November 10, 2009

When a place has a menu that is 2/3 tapas and 1/3 entrees and you order an entree you should consider yourself pre-warned. Perhaps the owners are strongly trying to suggest a smaller bite.

For a Hole-in-the-Wall, Akiko’s Knows its Sushi

November 2, 2009

In my lexicon the term “favorite dive” usually doesn’t extend to sushi restaurants. Often I forgo nondescript places for flashier well-lit places. San Francisco is chock-full of high flash sushi joints that a place like Akiko’s Sushi Bar is easily overlooked.
