The first time I ate at Sushi Seki in midtown, I had just moved back to NYC after a year in Hong Kong. It was my first time living on my own in NYC and I was gushing with excitement to try anything and everything the city I was born and raised in had to [...]

Mary’s at Baldwin Creek
Posted in dinner out, vermont, tagged inn at baldwin creek, mary's on September 11, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
For one of our last dinners in Vermont we went to Mary’s Restaurant at the Inn at Baldwin Creek. Mary’s menu uses ingredients sourced from small local farms as well as their own garden. They serve dinner from Wednesday to Saturday, and Sunday breakfast. Mary’s Chef, Doug Mack, was a founder and first president of [...]
Not pizza, flatbread
Posted in dinner out, vermont, tagged american flatbread on September 9, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Dave’s parents came up for our last few days in Vermont. The six of us went to a Waitsfield institution, American Flatbread. I had been once before last ski season and was excited for more fresh-out-of-the-wood-fired-clay-oven creations. The lines at Flatbread are notorious (they don’t take reservations), but as long as you show up early you [...]
Lobster for five
Posted in dinner out, vermont, tagged lobster, sugarbush, timbers on September 6, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
During the summer, Timbers restaurant (at Sugarbush resort) hosts a lobster dinner on Wednesdays and Thursdays. For $25, you get a 1 1/4 pound lobster, steamed mussels, red bliss potatoes, and summer corn. And it all comes in a bucket. Compared to NYC prices, this is a steal. One of my parents friends, Bobbie, was up [...]
Rouge Tomate

Clare and I took advantage of the fact that restaurant week was extended and went to Rouge Tomate. I had heard good things about the farm to table restaurant when Kristen, a friend of ours from culinary school, did a stage there. Rouge Tomate cooks its food according to the principles of S.P.E. which revolves [...]
Katsuya West Hollywood
Posted in california, dinner out, tagged katsuya, los angeles on August 28, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Our last night in California, we went with Jason to Katsuya in Hollywood. It seems like every time I read People or US Weekly there is at least one mention of someone dining at Katsuya. We didn’t see any celebrities, but we did have a fantastic meal. Our server informed us that menu items are [...]
Passionfish

One of the restaurant recommendations that we got from the host and sommelier at Manresa was for Passionfish in Pacific Grove, just outside Monterey. We went for our last dinner with Christina and Rich, who had come with us to Monterey. The restaurant gets glowing reviews on the web, and its own site had me salivating. [...]
Manresa
Posted in california, dinner out, tagged manresa, san francisco on August 19, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Before leaving for California, I did some research and was excited to find Manresa, which is consistently on top 10 lists, including epicurious.com‘s top 10 farm-to-table restaurants in the US. Logistically, it would have made sense to eat at Manresa on our first night driving the coast, as it is a hour plus drive south [...]
A16

I had been wanting to go to A16 forever. Well, ever since I volunteered for a James Beard House dinner cooked by the chefs of A16. They were the nicest chefs I worked for at the Beard House, and their food was delicious. Then, Nate Appleman, who was the head chef at the time, won [...]
A return to the scene of the crime
Posted in dinner out, tagged red cat on August 14, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Dave and I had our first date at Red Cat in Chelsea, almost five years ago. I still remember what I wore that night. We went back a few nights ago for the first time since that date. I wanted to wear the same dress, but quickly realized that it had, long ago, been donated to good [...]
