I decided to take Jenn out for an early birthday lunch, as she was visiting NYC. Ever since Frank Buni upgraded Eleven Madison Park to a four-star rating, I had been wanting to try it out. So, I made a reservation and there we were alongside businessmen and ladies who lunch. The meal was flawless, [...]

The Green Cup, Waitsfield, Vermont

We decided to spend Dave’s last week before school in Vermont with my parents. Having only seen the town of Waitsfield under several inches of snow, I was pleasantly surprised at how charming it is. I had made it my goal to cook a lot while in Vermont, to get back on track after our [...]

As part of Columbia Business School’s orientation, Dave and I (along with our friend Maria, the wife of a CBS student in Dave’s class) took a group of incoming students’ spouses and partners out to lunch. We decided on Kyotofu, a place we have been wanting to try for a while. Owned by a friend [...]
Pizzeria Mozza

The best lunch we had our entire trip had to be at Pizzeria Mozza in LA. Started by Mario Batali, the pizza joint is small and bright; reservations are a must. Aside from the fact that the woman seating us had some major attitude (making us wait unnecessarily long when our table was visibly ready), [...]
Lobster roll, take two
Posted in biweekly photo, lunch out on August 13, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
The lobster roll seems to be the “in” dish this summer. From the much lauded one you can get at the Brooklyn Flea (I’ve yet to get my hands on one), to the great sandwich I had at Mermaid Inn, they are everywhere. I guess that’s summer in NYC. My parents, Dave, and I went to [...]
Apologies

I am sorry for letting a week pass without posting, that is inexcusable. I have been caught up in so many exciting things–NYC Restaurant Week, booking my tickets for the New York City Wine & Food Festival, making SO much ice cream, more on that later–that the time has flow by. Oh, and my Blackberry [...]
A taste of Saskatoon

Saskatoon. What can I say but you can’t go wrong eating in a town named after a berry. Nancy (a friend from culinary school) and I arrived in Saskatoon on Friday afternoon (Dave was to arrive the next morning). The reason for our trip was the wedding of Lene (who was also in our class), [...]
Bouchon Bakery Cafe

Earlier this week, I was graced with a once in a lifetime opportunity: I was able to tour the kitchen at Per Se. Rebecca, a classmate of mine from culinary school, is doing an internship there and she took Clare (another classmate) and me through the entire, multi-roomed back of the house. It was the [...]
Pies, sweet and savory
Posted in baked treat, lunch out, tricks of the trade, tagged cherry pie, Ithaca pie on July 14, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
For the picnic last weekend, I made and brought the food. The two most popular dishes–sweet and savory, respectively–were pies. In the savory department it was an Ithaca pie that I made using beautiful rainbow chard from my CSA. As for sweet, the crowd favorite was sour cherry pie. A note on cutting chard. When [...]
If heaven was a sandwich

My mother and I had lunch today at Josephina. Surrounded by tables full of (significantly) older ladies, we had a delicious meal. Above is my jumbo lump crabmeat melt with brie, avocado and red onion with a side of mesclun greens in lemon-thyme dressing. As I write this, I am fantasizing about enjoying the second [...]
