No matter where you go, you have to eat. Food is one of the greatest representatives of a culture.
The World’s 50 Best Restaurant #19 – Geranium Copenhagen Going to Geranium was one of my most looked forward to dining experiences. After one person referred to it as “Life Changing”, how could one not be excited for the opportunity have dinner at one of Europe’s best restaurants. And having now dined here, I can say it is one of … Read More
The World’s 50 Best Restaurant #39 – Relæ Copenhagen Relæ has a very cozy and relaxed atmosphere, and the kitchen is right there for all to see. With two tasting menus to choose from, OF COURSE I picked the more extensive Relæ Experience with pairing. I had one of the better counter seats, right in front of the prep chefs, … Read More
With my trip to Copenhagen coming up, Gloria at Vespertine suggested I try Radio if I have the chance. Lucky me, it was a 10 minute walk from where I was staying, and made a perfect first meal in my new favorite food city. I opted for the 5 Course Menu and Wine Pairing, but also wanted to try the … Read More
Los Angeles finally has a World Class dining experience, Jordan Kahn’s Vespertine. Much has been written on the architecture and “Other Worldly” food presentation, but I think what has gotten lost, is that Kahn’s “New World Cuisine” is fantastic. Not Asian Fusion or Farm to the Table, or whatever a more recent trend in food may be… a truly unique … Read More
Celebrating 3 Michelin Stars for over three years and a documentary film, Curtis Duffy’s Grace makes for a good place for a Chicago Food Run. Modern American cuisine in an Elegant Dining Room with a Fastidious Kitchen on display, how fun is that. The outside front is not so fancy, but once in the staff knows who I was, I … Read More
On this year’s Chicago Food Run, I opted to go to Grace rather than Alinea (I also couldn’t get reservations at Alinea), so figured to try out Roister, part of the “Alinea Group” for lunch. Located in Fulton Market area, which appears to be the new techie corridor, getting there was a bit challenging with all the construction. But once … Read More
The World’s 50 Best Restaurant #48 – Restaurant Tim Raue I am the first to admit that German Food frightens me. I can not eat Pork, don’t like butter and do not have a sweet tooth… all things essential in almost every German dish. But in Berlin, I wanted to see what Mr. Raue’s German inspired Asian Fusion was about. … Read More
Every time I venture into Brooklyn I am impressed on how it has changed. Gone are the days when a cabbie wouldn’t want to venture from Manhattan for fear of not getting a fare back. So it is not surprising that there are many new and tasty food adventures on the other side of the Hudson. Blanca… tucked behind the … Read More
With a 2 full day stopover in Frankfurt, I thought it would be good to go to Villa Kennedy, one of the more refined hotels in Frankfurt. Check out the iconic JFK Bar and have lunch and see how good the main restaurant was. It was a pleasant day for a walk and iconic place to spend an hour or … Read More
Report by: The Celestial Don’t cry for me Argentina!! Because really as The Fussy Flyer said at dinner….. “imagine being seated in front of a very hawt boy… who’s cross eyed… you think you can just suck it up and enjoy his company but then you realize that you just can’t get over that ever so glaring flaw…” That sums … Read More
Report by: The Celestial The best phrase that was used by a fellow contributor, the BuzyBee… Exceeded expectations. In Singapore, the demand for food quality is set incredibly high… one wrong extra wrist turning salt finish spells disaster…overcooked satay… epic fail…. and no self respecting establishment would want to hear a patron utter the the ever so dreaded comment….’Your standards … Read More
Report by: Madame Now Delicious menu, pleasant simple and clean atmosphere with a friendly staff. Foods from local farms that are sustainably grown, often organic. Fantastic wine list, great for a solo diner, wish they served lunch. They also have an excellent take out section, and wine shop next door. I had this fantastic soup as I was trying to … Read More
