Super Bowl Dinner

Leaf — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 03:23:32 +0000

For this year’s Super Bowl Sunday, I made chicken wings using this Buttermilk Roast Chicken recipe I had tried a week or so ago. I had originally done it using drumsticks as the recipe recommended and it was very simple …

We’ve been trying to explore our hometown a little every weekend. Food-wise mainly. Just about every weekend, is a new find and I’m actually getting more and more impressed with the food around here. This surprising find is located in …

Allergies Gone Wild!

Leaf — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 19:07:27 +0000

I just got back from an allergist specialist who tested me for a list of common allergens. Amongst other things I’m allergic to: mites, peas, rice!!, and trees of every kind. No wonder I’ve been having sneezing fits every morning …

Nando’s Peri Peri

Good, but eh. I mean, it’s grilled chicken. Consistent, recognizable, done well. If it were down the street from me, maybe, but it’s certainly not worth going out of our way for it like we did last night. We got …

Thai X-ing

Leaf — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 03:01:43 +0000

Two words: Yum and Yum. This place is what we’d imagine food in Thailand would taste like. This little gem of a restaurant is barely noticeable on the street. We got out of the taxi and wandered back and forth …

Saigon Cafe

Eh. It was okay but overall, not someplace we’ll probably be going back to anytime soon. I read about this place and how they were known for making an authentic bun bo hue (this thick rice noodle beef soup). SO …

Move over Mamoun

Leaf — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 01:09:38 +0000

Two years ago, we ate our way through a weekend in New York City. One of the most memorable places we ate at was Mamoun’s Falafel. I would not shut up about it. Mamoun’s this, Mamoun’s that. You’d think he …

X.O. Taste

Leaf — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 14:17:47 +0000

We went there, 13 of us, for Xmas eve dinner. Although in the end we had enough food, I was kind of disappointed in them. Their dishes were way small, a platter of shrimp had fewer than 13 shrimp. I …

Tis the season

A nice lady gifted us with these chocolate caramels. The dark chocolate is a shell and when you bite into it, the inside just gooos out and it’s so delicious. I ate just one though. Because I have super-human will …

Rustico

What a big beer list! They have happy hour every day, even on weekends – order before 7PM. It’s $2 off whatever beers they have on tap. Their beers on tap was on a 2-sided menu, I ran out of …
