Yesterday’s Brooklyn Half-Marathon ended on the Coney Island boardwalk. My parents and Dave came to cheer me on. This was my father’s first trip to Coney Island since he was seven years old and the first time for the rest of us. My dad and Dave had, in the days leading up to the race, [...]

Blue beer, best dessert
Posted in japan, lunch out, tagged hokkaido dishes on May 18, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Yesterday, after moffles, we went with my parents to meet some old family friends — including Naoko, the wife of my godfather and a close friend of my parents’ — for lunch. We ate at Hokkaido Dishes in Ginza, a two-year-old restaurant run by Naoko’s brother. [...]
Lunch on the run

Dave and I were running to meet my mom this afternoon and didn’t have time for a sit-down lunch. Instead, we headed to the basement of Odakyu department store and each found a lunch box we liked.
Slurp-worthy noodles

On our way to the train back to Tokyo, Dave and I had one last lunch with Kuri. We went out for another Yugawara specialty, and a favorite of ours, soba. Quick and healthy, soba is a popular option for lunches out in Japan. I try to have it at least twice during any given [...]
Snacking, sumo, sweets

Our first full day in Tokyo was a busy and food-filled one. After breakfast we struck out and walked around Shinjuku, the neighborhood where we’re staying. Right by our hotel we found a restaurant specializing in fugu, the deadly — if not properly filleted — pufferfish, considered a delicacy. I don’t think it’s on our list [...]
Too many carbs in my belly

Before heading to the airport, Dave and I had one final lunch with Braiden at Serious Pie, Tom Douglas‘ pizza joint. We started out with a salad of fava beans, local radishes, and miner’s lettuce. Smothered in a creamy but light dressing, the favas were the shining star of the dish. We each got our [...]
A San Juan lunch
Posted in lunch out, seattle, tagged market chef, san juan island on April 25, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Orcas Island, the island in the San Juan archipelago I know best, is home to some of my favorite cafes. Every summer I look forward to fresh salads, sandwiches, and pizzas, made with ingredients that were plucked from the ground just hours earlier. We arrived on San Juan Island on Friday and our room wasn’t [...]
Crumpets and bao

No trip to Seattle is complete without a stop at the Pike Place Market. While the seafood (and the famous fish guys) get all the publicity… I go to the Pike Place Market for one thing: crumpets. One of my favorite treats in this world, a must-eat on any trip to Seattle, comes from The [...]
Trendy noodles, winning cupcakes, killer sandwiches

Yesterday, I continued to eat my way through Seattle, accompanied by Braiden and joined for lunch by another of my Seattle friends, Aimee. We started our morning at Top Pot (where I sit right now as I write this) for coffee, tea, and high-speed internet access. They are famous for their hand-forged doughnuts (many friends [...]
Deep Blue C

I arrived in Seattle yesterday afternoon famished, so Braiden and I went to one of my Seattle favorites: Blue C Sushi. I am a sucker for conveyor belt sushi (as will become painfully obvious when I am in Japan in two and a half weeks), and Blue C does a good job, for the price. It [...]
