[lost meals] Dunwell Doughnuts and Dominique Ansel [2], New York NY
The lost meals entries consist of meals that occurred at various times throughout 2012 which, for any number of reasons, escaped my documentation – some due to a cross country move and a new job, some due to the Los … Continue reading

Buca, Toronto ON
The Gist: With reviews from chefs, ‘foodies,’ and the media all largely positive despite a website that leaves the menu shrouded in secrecy and a location that is not exactly easy to find Rob Gentile’s Buca Enoteca has quickly ascended … Continue reading
Joe Beef, Montreal QC
The Gist: http://www.joebeef.ca/ The Why: Along with Au Pied du Cochon, David McMillan and Frédéric Morin’s 75-seat bastion of heavy locally sourced gluttony was at the top of my “to-dine” list when making my first visit to Montreal. Having garnered … Continue reading
Bouchon Bistro (4) and Jean Philippe at Aria, Las Vegas NV
There are very few restaurants I feel compelled to return to again and again – the ones I do are genuinely mind blowing (Alinea,) cheap and kitschy (Griddle Café,) or…well, Bouchon Las Vegas. Open for breakfast, brunch, and dinner I’d … Continue reading
Matsuhisa, Los Angeles CA
Dining with two who prefer their seafood cooked but wanting to have some high quality sushi during our most recent trip to LA there were a number of choices, but in the end I went with the most “LA” of … Continue reading

Amis Trattoria, Philadephia PA
Most epicures are aware of Marc Vetri and more and more are learning quickly of his 2010 Beard Award winning protégé Jeff Michaud. With three restaurants currently running under the Vetri lineup I have to admit that part of the … Continue reading

Il Pizzaiolo, Pittsburgh PA
Amongst the many organizations guiding and teaching the production of Neapolitan style pizza the Verace Pizza Napoletana Association is one of the most famous and well regarded. With less than 50 approved locations nationwide and only one in the Midwest … Continue reading

Ristorante Tosca, Washington DC
Gun-shy to “fine-dining” Italian outside of New York and a few select spots elsewhere I had originally planned to conclude our myriad lunches in the DC area with Korean or Ethiopian food – I had considered this until a trusted … Continue reading

Abriya Raku and Payard Patisserie, Las Vegas NV
In my (maybe not so) humble opinion, the best thing about Las Vegas is the vast number of great restaurants on a single street – really, outside of Washington Street in Yountville where can you find so many Michelin Stars … Continue reading
Spiaggia, Chicago IL
I’d almost given up on “haute Italian” before my May trip to New York. After less-than-amazing experience for excessive prices at Valentino, La Botte, and Osteria Mozza in Los Angeles/Santa Monica and vastly better quantity/quality experiences at “mid-range” Italian places … Continue reading
Crop Bistro, Cleveland OH
What happens when a self-taught chef (and interesting entrepreneur in the areas of sweeteners and butters) opens a brilliant restaurant in an “average mid-western town” that best known for cursed sports teams, a lake that caught on fire, and a … Continue reading
Cici’s Cafe, Tarzana CA
Formerly morbidly obese and corrected though only hard work, diet, and exercise I generally consume zero refined sugars, plenty of lean protein, and well over 3 pounds of vegetables a day. I go to the gym, I eat six self … Continue reading
Citizen Cake Patisserie, San Francisco CA
Citizen Cake is a bit of phenomenon given Chef Falkner’s appearance on multiple Food Network episodes and her loud/vibrant personality. Being unsatisfied with our purchases at Boulangerie, my family and I decided to stop by the Patisserie on a Wednesday … Continue reading

Cafe Spiaggia, Chicago IL
Call it ignorant or whatever you like but as a midwesterner brought up on chain Italian and (even worse) chain pizza I still have problems today seeing Italian as “fine dining.” Sure I’ve been wowed by a handful of high-end … Continue reading
Patsy’s Pizzeria, New York New York
In an argument of “best thin crust NY Pizza” you will get 50 different answers from 100 different people. Many of those people say Patsy’s and as such I decided to give it a try during my visit in New … Continue reading
