Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City SADLY, GRISTMILL IS NOW CLOSED.

Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City SADLY, RIDER IS NOW CLOSED. As much as I’d like to eat four donuts, the reality is I would hurt myself. We have to know our limitations. At Rider, they were kind enough to let me order …
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City SADLY, TEKOÁ IS NOW CLOSED. I love when local neighborhood businesses work together.

I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2016… 2016 was a tough year. From a whirlwind political circus to the loss of many beloved celebrities to worldwide tragedies, the news was full of sad things. But there was still joy out there and as usual, I found a lot of that joy through food. …

I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2016… Steakhouses are tough in this city. And they should be medium rare. What I mean is, they are so expensive that it’s only possible for a special occasion (unless you are one of the lucky elite). Quality Eats is one of the few places …
I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2016… SADLY, HANK’S JUICY BEEF IS NOW CLOSED.

The slow roasted beef …
I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2016… Chawanmushi is not a dish you see on many menus at hip, seasonal Brooklyn restaurants.

I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2016… Most critics in New York agree that Olmsted is by far one of the best restaurants to open in the city this year. I was fortunate enough to eat there this summer and as you will notice from my 100 Best list, I tend …
I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2016… A thickly sliced bacon appetizer is pretty standard at American steakhouses. But Quality Eats turns that on its head.

Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City Most people will be surprised that the city’s best burger might just be hiding at the counter of an ordinary looking old diner in the middle of well-to-do Gramercy. But that’s where it is. Forget your Shake …
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City SADLY, BRUNO IS NOW CLOSED. I love when a restaurant comes along and totally reconstructs something that we are all too familiar with. People deconstruct macaroni and cheese, s’mores, and steak tartare all the time. But I was …
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City Just when I thought the seasonal, local food scene in Brooklyn was getting a little tiresome, dare I even say boring, Olmsted comes along and breathes life to the Brooklyn restaurant world.
