Cuisine. Culture. Commentary.
A new restaurant recently opened in Savannah which means I had to check it out on my first night back at home. I had no doubt it would be good because Ampersand is the latest venture from Brian Torres, the man behind Form and Form II Table (check those out on your next Savannah trip…

I like any vendor who has the word “party” in their name. Just saying the word party (or more accurately “partaaay”) makes me want to start dancing. Brooklyn Oyster Party was a new vendor at Madison Square Eats and the one that received the majority of Albert’s attention. Getting a half dozen oysters on ice…

Sarah was always my ultimate Broadway buddy so we take in a show every time she’s back in town. After seeing Aladdin (fun for the whole family!) we wanted to grab a bite to eat but didn’t want to be hemmed into the overpriced and underflavored restaurants of Times Square. We hopped the 2 one…

I was a big fan of The Spotted Pig so I walked into The Breslin expecting a good meal. A good meal is just what I got. Don’t you just hate when things turn out just as you’d hoped? I liked the vibe from the moment I walked inside. Even though it’s located in the…

For my last Philly foodie post, I want to focus on a great brunch find. If you are one of those people who judges a brunch spot by their bloodies, you will love National Mechanics thanks to their bloody mary bar. You pick the type of vodka (I went with bacon vodka) and the rim (I…

I took my weekend getaway to Philly as an opportunity to catch up with an old friend. Brooke and I haven’t really seen each other in a few years, but after living in a sorority house together you kinda bond with a chick. We decided to meet for dinner which of course really just means…

Sometimes you taste something that doesn’t belong…but you like it anyway. That’s what happened to me when I tried the frozen yogurt at Victory Garden. It’s fro yo that’s made with goat milk. The inevitable first question is whether or not it tastes like goat cheese. It actually does. It has all the tang of…
