On Sunday night, my parents and I went to Chinatown for some good Chinese grub. It was only when there were about four grains of rice left in my bowl that I realized I forgot to take pictures, so I apologize that you can’t view the delicious food we ate. I know of a few…

Typically, when we meet reps for lunch in my biz, we go someplace fancy and take advantage of those oh-so-fun expense accounts. Fancy can be nice, but I follow the food, regardless of the setting. Today, I was meeting a rep who happens to also be a friend so I knew she wouldn’t freak out…

Ippudo may be a prevalent chain in Japan, but in the US there is but one location – a beacon in the East Village. Critics don’t usually review chain restaurants, so when the Frank Bruni of the Times not only visited Ippudo in 2009 but gave it a star, I knew there must be something…

Last night was time to celebrate Greg’s 29th birthday with dinner and some bar fun. A few of us met at Macondo for dinner before meeting the rest of the crew at the bar. I’ve heard Macondo has a great drunk brunch so I still plan on returning for that, but dinner was a good…

Matt texted me this morning that he and Jen just got a car and they were planning to go on an adventure to Flushing for Korean food. Would I like to join? Um, yes. Matt and Jen heard from a Korean friend that Ham Ji Bak was legit. As we drove up, I had a…

Wednesday night seemed like a good time to try Hide-Chan Ramen, the pork broth restaurant I’ve been hearing so much about. I was excited to take my parents because this is definitely not the type of thing you can find in Savannah. I had heard about the grilled pork toro (pork cheek), so I knew…
