Eat like a Pharaoh! I don't care how you spell it (Molokhia, Molokheya, Mulukhiya) or what you call it (Jews Mallow, Jute Mallow, Mallow Leaves) because regardless of the name, this is one of my favorite comfort foods. It is a traditional Egyptian soup that was typically eaten by royalty in Ancient Egypt, but eventually... Continue Reading →
Sun and Moon Korean Restaurant Review – East Providence, RI
I've had Korean food before, but mostly in the form of delicious pickled vegetables, noodles, and kimchi (a famously fermented, spicy cabbage). Hearing that I'd never had a very popular dish called, Bibimbap that consists of an extremely hot stone pot filled with rice, vegetables, meat, and topped with an egg, my girlfriend insisted that...

Pasta Primavera Recipe
I'm kind of an idiot when it comes to Spring. My favorite season is the fall because it's not as hot and humid as the Summer, which is great for a bigger guy like me that isn't at his most attractive when damp. On the other hand, I always get excited for the Spring even... Continue Reading →
Chau Chow – Chinese Dim Sum Review – Dorchester, MA
Dim Sum holds a magical place in my heart since the first time, my friend, AmasianV, introduced me to it in college. From that point on, AmasianV and I always considered it our own private hangover cure. Granted, all of that extra sodium probably didn't help us out any, but... what can I say? It...

Pulled Pork Shoulder in the Slow Cooker
I've smoked a pork butt twice (there's really no un-awkward way to say that) and both times it was especially difficult to get it to that "fall-off-the-bone" state. Smoking takes hours and I don't always have that kind of time on my hands, so I wanted to get all of that pork butt goodness, but... Continue Reading →
Lansdowne Pub Review – Boston, MA (Mystery Meet)
I can't remember how exactly, but at some point I stumbled onto a site called Mystery Meet. I know it sounds like a blind dating site, but it's not. It's actually a site designed to get larger groups of people in different cities together to meet one another and have dinner at a mystery location.... Continue Reading →
Louisiana Red Beans and Rice Recipe
I've had a lot of posts about my visit to New Orleans such as my Visual Food Tour, Collard Greens Recipe, and Boudin Preparation. Normally, I like to mix things up, but when there is so much great food to choose from in New Orleans, why limit yourself? On my first visit to New Orleans,... Continue Reading →
Oishii – Sushi Review – Boston, MA
When searching for the best sushi around Boston, three names kept popping up: O Ya, Oishii, and Oga's (in Natick). After watching a wonderful documentary called, Jiro Dreams of Sushi, about the world's greatest sushi chef, I became obsessed with trying truly high quality sushi. Unfortunately, such sushi is costly and far more expensive than... Continue Reading →
Chez Pascal – Wurst Kitchen Review – Providence, RI
Everyone loves a good sausage and Chez Pascal has some good sausages. The name might throw you off into thinking that this is some puffed up self-important French restaurant, but it isn't. The main restaurant is very nice, but inside they have a section called the "Wurst Kitchen." My friends and I ate there to... Continue Reading →
