Sushi Yasuda

July 30, 2014July 18, 2016

I've never been to Tokyo. I can't claim to have knowledge or experience eating sushi in Japan. I can't tell you what is traditional or proper or authentic. But I have eaten sushi, lots of it in fact, across the United States. I know what I like. I know what... Read More

Morimoto, New York City

July 20, 2014July 18, 2016 sushi

When I want good sushi in a relaxed atmosphere, I go to Morimoto. Located in Chelsea (next door to the Chelsea Market, another of my faves and definitely a place to go for any foodie), Morimoto is a big place. This is fine dining (it's definitely pricey) but the environment... Read More

The Bazaar by José Andrés

July 15, 2014July 19, 2016

I've seen José Andrés on tv, in magazines, and all over the internet. His food not only looks delicious, but a sincere attempt to capture the essence of Spanish cuisine. So when I spent a mini-vacation in Miami, I absolutely had to eat at the Bazaar. The Bazaar is in... Read More

Oxford Exchange

June 27, 2014July 19, 2016

Across from the University of Tampa, and just a few blocks from Edison, resides one of the most beautiful restaurants in Tampa, the Oxford Exchange. It's more than a restaurant, it's an entire mini-community, including tea shop, coffee shop, bookstore, retail space, bakery, meeting/community rooms and more. Originally a stable... Read More

Edison: food+drink lab

June 25, 2014July 19, 2016

Tampa is just two hours from Orlando, and while I have to go occasionally for work, like the beach, visiting Tampa for fun has been on my to-do list for quite a while. When I finally got time and made plans to visit, it was really a pilgrimage to Bern's... Read More

Bern’s Steak House

June 24, 2014July 19, 2016

I don't remember how I first heard about Bern's Steakhouse. What I do remember, quite distinctly, is my disbelief when I found out that the largest wine cellar in North America (and I believe the 2nd largest in the world) resided in Tampa, FL. As a wine lover, I knew... Read More

The Ravenous Pig

June 23, 2014July 19, 2016

I know I've said this before, but the Ravenous Pig is hands-down my favorite restaurant here in the Orlando area. Candied bacon tops an Old Fashioned Orlando has the sad reputation of being a culinary wasteland. The prevalence of chain restaurants, theme parks and tourist attractions hasn't helped, but its...

Torrisi Italian Specialties

June 22, 2014July 19, 2016

I had been hearing whispers about Torrisi Italian Specialties since it opened in the end of 2009. By the time they started their tasting menu in 2010, it had officially piqued my interest. By December of 2013, I knew I had to eat there. So I booked my reservation and... Read More

Kabooki Sushi

June 21, 2014July 19, 2016 sushi

On the corner E. Colonial Dr. and Maguire Ave, across from the Fashion Square Mall, sits a tiny gem of a restaurant in an unassuming cluster of businesses not big enough to be considered a "strip mall." Kabooki Sushi is small, just a handful of tables as well as seats... Read More

January 19, 2014July 20, 2016

Yesterday was a first for me. My first farm to table meal actually served on a farm, outside, at a very large table, yes, my very first Outstanding In The Field. If you haven't heard of OITF before, it is a moveable dinner party/feast, started in 1999, held at farms... Read More
