Cuisine. Culture. Commentary.
When it comes to trendy restaurants, I’ve grown accustomed to tiny portions. That is particularly so when it comes to trendy tacos. Not so at Seamore’s. Their fish tacos ain’t so teeny. Praise the seafood gods, which in this case, are the same as the meatball deities. At Seamore’s, Michael Chernow easily transitions from land…

After a busy weekend with a lot of time spent in the sun (I have a very attractive sunglass burn, thank you very much), Sunday evening needed to be spent at home with a relaxing meal and the AC on blast. My beau is on the fence about pesto, but he likes rich pastas like alfredo so…

I’d heard wild salmon is better than farm raised, but the price of the farmed stuff has been too tough to resist. Now that I better understand, I may be changing up my fishy habits. It’s hard to imagine because it’s been raining a good bit on the east coast, but Cali is in major…

During my parents’ visit, we wanted to spend most of Saturday in Astoria. Astoria is known for its thriving Greek community so we wanted to check out the restaurants and markets. Since Albert spent several years living in Astoria, he served as our tour guide. When we said we wanted authentic Greek food, he took…

I had no idea I would be staying late at work on Tuesday. If I had, I wouldn’t have stocked the fridge with lots of perishable items. But then I did stay late at work and when I arrived home at 9 PM I had some salmon that had to be cooked that night or…
