consumed on 4/23/09 I’m in NYC visiting my brother and, per usual, he has a list of restaurants he wants me to try–with Momofuku Ko at the top. He warns me that it’s crazy hard to get a reservation, especially since they only have two seatings of 12 per night. Luckily, checking at 10pm on […]

consumed on 9/29/05 There are many reviews about Vios Cafe and they all have a similar consensus: a tragic story, good food and lots of kids. Before visiting Vios I thought it was odd how many of the reviews mentioned the presence of kids, but seconds after walking in I realized what they meant: there […]

consumed on 9/22/05 A friend of mine is a rep for a wine import company that specializes in French and South African wines. This means that he spends his day visiting restaurants, chatting and drinking with wine buyers. Nice job, right? A big part of his job appears to be schmoozing—he schmoozes so much that […]

It’s the new year and it’s time for a few resolutions: Pay attention to my blog. I’ve been busy and my blog has suffered. I just realized that I have over 50 (50!) half-finished posts dating back to September. Some of them are even kinda good. Eat more bacon. I know this sounds like an […]

consumed on 9/11/05 After reading Viv’s write up and then Laura’s review about Monsoon’s new dim sum menu, I was excited to check it out. It’s been years since I last ate at Monsoon, but I can still vividly recall their incredible wok-fried Dungeness crab in spicy, garlicky, black bean sauce. I’m not sure why […]

I’m still trying to catch up on posts, and yet I still seem to be almost two months behind on everything… Here are the food highlights from my trip to Portland (Oregon) over Labor Day weekend: Friday, 9/2/05 We arrived at our “downtown” hotel (which was nowhere near downtown, but for $40 per night via […]

consumed on 8/27/05 Day two in Oysterville started with a wonderful breakfast strata with sausage and mushrooms. It was hearty, steaming hot and filled with spicy sausage. (I especially love that this dish can be made entirely the night before and simply baked in the morning; perfect for a brunch.) After a rather long walking […]

consumed on 8/3/05 So, um, seeing as how the next Seattle Food Blogger meeting is tonight, I thought I should post something about the last get-together. I’m cringing as I look at the date; it’s been two months since we dined… This was the smallest gathering yet, just Orangette, Culinary Fool and myself. It was […]

I just received the latest Splendid Table e-newsletter and read about the new(ish) Eat Well Guide. The Eat Well Guide is a directory of sustainably-raised meat, poultry, dairy and eggs from stores, markets, restaurants, farmers, etc. I think this is an important issue so I wanted to pass on the link: http://www.eatwellguide.org It appears as […]

consumed on 7/12/05 I finally made my first trip to Campagne. It was my birthday and I was torn between eating at one of my favorite restaurants or trying someplace new. In an effort to not write about the same five restaurants, over and over again, I’ve been trying to branch out and be adventurous—so […]
