In my last cuisine post, I left you with the bomb dropping pop-up resto in Coral Gables - Eating House. Well today I am taking you to a place in Miami that I think will be around for quite some time - Yardbird. Yardbird - interesting name don’t ya think? Well the name derives from the soul(…)
First - Click here: New York Post: Summer of Eating - to see my mention on this write-up. Now you may proceed… Last weekend, I had the pleasure of escaping the city and jetting down to the sunny state of Florida. Commonly us New Yorkers use Miami as an escape from our bone-chilling winters, but lucky for me(…)
Finally! – a bit of Masa in the village without having to travel all the way to the Upper West Side. I have been meaning to write about Neta since I first experienced it back in April and am quite embarrassed it took me this long to share such a wonderful addition to Greenwich Village. Neta packs a punch from(…)
Having only opened up in Mid-March, New York Restaurant NoMad is flying high and taking reservations…that is if you can find a way to get in before July, but I guess that should be expected when your team hails from 3 star Michelin Restaurant Eleven Madison Park along with the latest named Outstanding Chef by the James Beard Foundation, Daniel Humm.(…)
Besides for running around parks, visiting the local fish spas and spending a couple nights boogieing away, I was eager to test my palate at some of Barcelona’s reknowned restaurants.

Most of you know Chef Scott Conant as a judge on “Chopped” or for his famous restaurant Scarpetta, where you could possibly have the best bowl of Spaghetti of your life! Or perhaps you might prefer his Creamy Polenta with a Fricassee of Mushrooms. For me, I die for the Duck & Foie Gras Ravioli – DELISH! But I am(…)
What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, but since Sin City came to New York – I can tell you all about it. Unfortunately, there are no dirty details unless you consider getting your fingers sticky from drumsticks as a turn on. Let’s hope not. Bon Appetit Magazine threw a Vegas Uncork’d party at the new(…)
You can’t resist them – small delicious bites that fill your mouth with spanish flare – Tapas – Ole! Well Recette might be one of the newer kids on the block, but their modern/traditional dishes pack enough punch to guarantee that they are not going anywhere anytime soon. This quaint, hidden gem is located in the(…)
I had a delicious dinner at Saxon + Parole last night, sister restaurant to Public just around the corner. This new Nolita restaurant, formerly know as “Double Crown” focuses more on fired up meats, homemade pots and “aquatic delights.” The ambiance was cozy and filled with candle light and the cocktail list helps to make you settle in.(…)
As I say good bye to 2011, I cannot help but shuffle through the memories it has given me. It started out a bit rough, but ended with a bang. I am a true believer in destiny and accept that everything happens for a reason. I abide by this mantra and live my life this(…)
