Inspiration Station: Meet The Parents
Wow. It’s been forever since I’ve done one of these posts. Hopefully it was worth the wait. The Dish: No fail, every time I’m eating Thai food (or even thinking about eating Thai food) I say that line “Jack talk Thai” from Meet The Parents. And then giggle to myself because for some reason I … Continue reading

Chicken and Zucchini in Peanut Sauce
Usually, when you build a meal around a jarred sauce, also known as taking the easy way out, it’s some sort of pasta with marinara. That doesn’t have to be the case if you can shop at Trader Joe’s. They have tons of jarred sauces for all sorts of cuisines. I recently picked up a jar … Continue reading
Ivan Ramen
Ivan of Ivan Ramen is a Jewish guy from Long Island who moved to Japan after college (it was what he had studied) and while there decided to open up a ramen shop. I’m not sure why he thought he could go toe-to-toe with actual Japanese chefs in a niche cuisine that is so true to their … Continue reading

Everyone in Philly goes nuts for the Sichuan Chinese chainlet and New Yorkers just won’t stand for Phily having something they don’t. However there’s one thing that always comes with a much awaited restaurant opening and that’s lines. Even a year later the wait … Continue reading
Kumo Sushi

The price came to just over $40/person and the food and drinks kept flowing. I thought the giant pitchers they … Continue reading
Citrus
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 … Continue reading

B Flat
B Flat calls itself an “authentic bar”. If a bar serves alcohol, I would consider it authentic…but that’s just semantics. I suppose they consider themselves legitimate because they have a whiskey on the menu that is $28 for 2 oz. I am not the kind of person that would order that but still found the … Continue reading
