After yet another disappointing UGA game, I headed to a late dinner with Matt, Karina, and Karina’s roommate. I am happy to proclaim Sorella is a new favorite for tapas and pasta. The wine list is supposed to also be great, but I was feeling just fine after downing several Jack and Diets at the…

My co-workers and I are stupid. I say this because for years we’ve been staring at Victor’s Cafe and not once had we ventured there for lunch until last Monday. When I think of all the amazing Cuban food I have missed out on, I am ashamed. We started with the massive sampler platter. It had…

While my parents were here, we checked out Italian mecca Eataly, Mario Batali and Joe Bastianich’s massive (I’m talking 50,000 square feet) Italian marketplace.

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…

Earlier this week I headed to Quality Meats with some co-workers for a huge, filling steak dinner. Quality Meats has all the normal steakhouse offerings but in much hipper digs than the traditional Palm or Del Friscos. The food was great, so let’s jump right in: We were greeted with an amuse bouche of roasted…

After watching UGA lose to South Carolina yesterday afternoon, I needed something to perk my spirits up once again. Lucky for me, Dan arrived in NYC for a visit yesterday, and seeing his smiling face for dinner was just what I needed to make me forget the depressing football loss. Dinner was a very last…

I’m not into chick lit, so this was my version of a beach read, as it was interesting enough and a super quick read. This debut novel from Jean Kwok follows a young girl, Kimberly, and her mother after they immigrate from Hong Kong. While Kimberly is unbelievably smart, she must succeed while hiding the…
