Dear Food Diary:Two month ago, while waiting outside the insane lines of the Bon Appetit Pop Up Cafe, I met my first fellow blogger Jennifer (Blogging Souls), an avid traveler, cook and food lover. After her recent return from the sights and sounds of Brazil (makes me so jealous), she asked to do an interview "about me" over some "bahn mi"... get it? I know, I know, don't worry, I'm keeping my day job. An Choi is a cute little place. Aspiring to look like an alley in Vietnam, from the table ... Read Full Story
So I went to a DB Dinner Series last night (post to come). And got 2 $5 Burke Bucks. Good for any of the David Burke Restaurants (Fishtail, Townhouse and Bloomingdales). I've been to all 3 and had great meals in each (check links to posts on the right)$5 might not seem like alot, but Fishtail has a lunch menu of items, all $5. (you have to order $10 to use the Burke Bucks, but still a good deal and an excuse to go and give it a try).I'm doing a little drawing, will pick 2 winners ($5 each, go... Read Full Story
Dear Food Diary:Ever since my last taste of Filipino food, I've been running on a pork and sizzling sisig high for weeks. Like an helpless addict, I wanted more. I vaguely remembered having some sort of Filipino lunch a while ago at Bayan Cafe, a steaming table full of heavy sauced dishes over white rice, wasn't too bad. So I rushed over and to my delight Sizzling Sisig (finely chopped crispy pork ear, belly, hot peppers, onions) was on the menu! As ecstatic as I was, a little voice inside ke... Read Full Story

Dear Food Diary:For our first Food Blogger get together, Andrea(high/low/food/drink) organized a nice lunch at David Chang's newest "Peach" addition, Ma Peche at chic and modern Chamber Hotel. Ever since the Foodbuzz Festival, Andrea and I've been talking about a dinner, but this came as a nice preview, thanks to birthday girl Jen(tiny urban kitchen) who was in town!Lunch menu was simple and affordable (hard to imagine that with anything Momofuku), but a $10 for entree and drink is really not...

Dear Food Diary:"Call now and we'll take one payment off". "But wait, call in the next 15 minutes and get a free _______". "Try it for 30 days or your money back, guaranteed". "I've been using my _______ and loved the results, it really works". "All this a $$$ value for less than $"... I could go on and on, these words just seem to have a special power over me, maybe it's the late night and lack of sleep. It all started back in college, when I first moved to this country. Working on projects ... Read Full Story
