Vietnamese in New Orleans
I have always heard about the wonderful food in New Orleans: oysters, gumbo, jambalaya, and beignets, but not about the abundance of delicious Vietnamese food. It was Brian who read in the New York Times dinning section about the outstanding Vietnamese food in the area. Thankfully the article In New Orleans, the Taste of a […]

The Pearl Café Ranked #1 on Prince Edward Island
The Pearl Café has been named the best restaurant on Canada’s Prince Edward Island by the Guardian newspaper. “Bringing a remarkable level of culinary creativity to The Pearl’s magical hospitality has created an absolutely superb restaurant. I honestly feel it’s a clear No. 1 in the province this summer,” said restaurant reviewer Bob Gray. The […]
Taste The Coast: In-N-Out Burger
Living on the East Coast I’ve always heard of the famous west coast In-N-Out burgers. There is always so much hype about the food being so fresh and just plain better then anything that can be found on the East or in the Midwest. I never paid these claims much attention: for one thing, we […]
Chinatowns from East Coast to West
Amanda and I are always thrilled to explore and eat in the Chinatown of any city, but there is nothing to compare to the excitement, energy, and abundance of great food that can be found in the Chinatowns of New York City and San Francisco. In New York, Manhattan’s bustling Chinatown is packed with in-your-face […]
Southern Doughnut Breakfast
Not much can beat a warm, freshly made doughnut in the morning. Deliciously sweet, fried dough isn’t the healthiest of breakfast, but I think every now and then, there is a special place for eating doughnuts and it can be well worth the calories. Whether enjoying the famous French beignets at Café DuMonde or American […]
Brunch With the Commander
It was early on a Saturday afternoon and we were walking through New Orleans’ Garden District admiring the grand old mansions there. We strolled alongside the high wall of an old New Orleans cemetery. Overhead an array of plastic beads from many Mardi Gras past hung forlornly in the trees. As we turned the corner […]
Mint Condition: Outstanding Indian Food in Chapel Hill
In New York I was introduced to Indian food while working at the wonderful restaurant Tabla. When visiting the famed “curry row” in mid-town Manhattan or in Queens at the epicenter of all things Indian in Jackson Heights I had no trouble falling for this enchanting cuisine. My uncle Wes in Chapel Hill, North Carolina […]
The Pit – Right on “Que”
Amanda and I were first introduced to The Pit restaurant’s eastern North Carolina style barbeque two years ago at New York City’s Big Apple Barbeque Festival in Madison Square Park. After tasting The Pit’s memorable chopped pork sandwiches from their street setup in New York City we made sure to stop at The Pit’s permanent […]
What the Kreplah!
Warm steam rises from a shallow bowl full of a rich, yellow broth seeded with orange carrots, green celery, white turnips, and chunks of tender chicken. The smell of rich chicken flavor flows into our noses as my family and I sit at my Aunt Polly’s dinner table during our Rosh Hashanah dinner. We have […]
