BAKAN

Bakan

Reviewing Bakan: Quality Mexican fare in the Wynwood art district in Miami.  The Wynwood art district in Miami can be quite popular, and I’ve found it’s not a good idea when you have guests to try to grab a table as a walk-in at most restaurants in the area. I was chill, knowing I had […]

KORNER 67

Korner 67

Reviewing Korner 67: Tapas style global cuisine in Miami Lakes.   If you do not frequent the Miami Lakes area, you will want to take a little trip now that Korner 67 has made ground on Main Street. If you are from the Miami Lakes area and have never heard of or tried it, what […]

MATT AND TONY’S

Reviewing Matt and Tony’s: An energetic American kitchen and bar in Alexandria.  The front patio at Matt and Tony’s has been packed from just about the day they opened their doors this past March with all manner of people – and it’s easy to see why. The industrial-styled restaurant, with its all-black façade, wrought iron […]

CAFE FLORA

Cafe Flora

Reviewing Café Flora: Creative vegetarian cuisine for all in Seattle.  Café Flora is one of my favorite restaurants of all time, and this visit did not disappoint. Café Flora is a vegetarian restaurant that offers vegan substitutes for all of its dishes. I do not have any dietary restrictions, but I would not mind going […]

KOMODO

Komodo

Reviewing Komodo: Regional flavors of Southeast Asia in the heart of Miami’s Brickell neighborhood.  We went to Komodo for a Girls Night Out. My friend picked Komodo, mainly because she loves Asian decor and food. It was Miami Spice month. This is similar to New York’s Restaurant Week. Participating establishments usually offer a meal of […]

THE HAMILTON SUPPERETTE

The Hamilton

Reviewing The Hamilton Supperette: Reminiscent Speakeasy with elegant comfort food in Oklahoma City Mall. Speakeasies became popular during the days of Prohibition. These illegal drinking establishments were characterized by a hidden location and secret knocks or passwords to gain entrance. In Oklahoma City, The Hamilton Supperette and Lounge might very well conjure up the speakeasies […]

SHAN’XI MAGIC KITCHEN

Shan'Xi Magic Kitchen

Reviewing Shan’Xi Magic Kitchen: Enjoy spicy and tender Chinese hand-pulled noodles in San Diego!  There’s nothing better than fresh, hand-pulled noodles.  While some people enjoy their noodles thin or crunchy, I’m partial to the thick and soft consistency you can only find with hand-pulled noodles.  Some of the best ones can be found in the […]

IZAKAYA SASAYA

Izakaya Sasaya

Reviewing Izakaya Sasaya: Traditional Japanese izakaya and udon in Los Angeles. My cousin and I have a tradition where we try new sushi restaurants for a dinner outing once a month. For this month’s outing, we chose Izakaya Sasaya on Santa Monica Blvd. I have been to another Izakaya Sasaya location, but never this one. […]

The Redneck Scientific Team, born in Johnston County, North Carolina, honed their skills on the Kansas City Barbeque Society circuit. What started as a backyard barbeque, soon developed into world-champion flavors […]

LUTZ TAVERN

Reviewing Lutz Tavern: Local beers on tap and burgers in Portland.  If you are lucky enough to be out and about in Southeast Portland on a rainy day in the fall you are likely to find yourself walking among maple trees, sweet gums, and birches that have transformed themselves from monochromatic green blobs into glowing […]

DRUNKEN MONKEY COFFEE BAR

Drunken Monkey

Reviewing Drunken Monkey Coffee Bar: Vegan dishes and house-roasted coffee in Orlando. You know those coffee places that have hard, little stools and tiny tables that make it clear they don’t really want you to stay? That’s not the Drunken Monkey. In fact, the chairs are so deep and comfortable they might just suck you […]
