Restaurant reviews – the opinions expressed are solely my own. Often, though it will appear that they’re based on a single visit, they’re based on more than one. And I’m willing to hear from folks who disagree – I do know that restaurants, including my own, have their off days.
The monthly round-up of leftover pictures – not many this month. Had lunch with a friend at a little Recoleta neighborhood spot, Brut Nature, that I’ve passed numerous times but never gone into as, well, every time I looked inside there were never more than a half dozen or so people in there, and as a… Read More Four Weeks in June
It seems sandwiches are all the rage these days. Recent blog posts on a couple of different local sites have declared top 5s or 10s of their personal searches and favorites. Adam Richman just launched his new show Best Sandwich in America which, while interesting and mouthwatering subject material is so poorly put together as… Read More The Great Sandwich Hunt

The first time was not a memorable experience – while we ate perfectly acceptable food – we’d ordered pretty basically – coffee, toast, juice kind of stuff. But we had repeated problems with a… Read More Brunch. Confused.
Back in BA and going to finish up the last two and a half days of New York in a short post, as most of it was not all that interesting on the food front. Spent the day on Saturday at the dojo – we were testing a group of students for their next level… Read More The Last of New York
I’ve gotten a bit behind on posts – hey, vacation and all that. Plus, not everything I was eating or doing was all that interesting, trust me. So, last Thursday and Friday put together…. Thursday daytime was spent at the American Museum of Natural History, always one of my favorite places to visit when I’m… Read More Two, Yes, Two Days in One
