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…

I am so angry with myself for not taking pictures of my lunch at Danji last week. I wish you were able to see the delicious bowl of Korean comfort food I wolfed down in a matter of minutes. On Wednesday, my team at work decided we wanted to go to lunch and we were…

In case you didn’t all get the memo, it’s FREEZING. I think today has a high of 18. It wasn’t much warmer over the weekend, which meant it was soup time. I needed something hot hot hot – in temperature and spice. Although I am not well versed in Thai cooking, I found a super…

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…

Now that it’s basically Winter, I wanted to get in the spirit of the season with some Winter-y food so I opened up a cookbook and tried to find something easy. I decided to go with cremini mushroom dumplings. All I did was sautee chopped mushrooms, garlic, and scallions and then mixed it with cream…

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…

Another night at home tonight. What can I say, I guess I’m turning into a huge lame-o, but every once in a while, it’s nice to have a really laid back weekend (especially after a busy b-day weekend like the one I just had). It’s not like I sat around doing absolutely nothing. After the…

I have a very good reason for not blogging recently: my parents were in town!!! Not sure if you know this, but my parents are incredibly cool, so when they’re here, they receive every ounce of my attention. We pretty much did everything there was to do, so let me start at the beginning. Friday…
