Recipes, Restaurant Reviews, and Travel
Back in high school, a Vietnamese friend introduced me to a Colombian restaurant in Central Falls, RI where he grew up called, El Paisa (the irony here is that I have a Colombian friend from Central Falls as well, but he didn't bring up the restaurant). This quickly became one of our favorite places to... Continue Reading →
This was my third visit to Nick's on Broadway for Breakfast. Two of those times occurred before the expansion of the restaurant to include the bar and new entrance. They also apparently serve dinner now as well, which I hear is very good. All I remembered from my first two visits were that both times,... Continue Reading →
In mid-October I had the privilege of attending one of my best friends from high school's wedding in New Orleans. If you haven't been to New Orleans it is definitely a singular experience when traveling through the United States because it feels like you are in a different country. The architecture is old world and... Continue Reading →
I now realize, after starting this blog, that I really don't make a lot of desserts at home. I'm not sure why that is. It could be because I possibly enjoy savory foods more than sweets. It could be because I'm not that confident in my baking skills. It could be because I receive plenty... Continue Reading →
I freaking love chicken tenders. Especially dipping them in different sauces to change up their flavors. I don't know why, but I do. Frankly, I'm not sure I even need to explain myself, so take me as I am! While looking around online, I saw a baked Chicken Tender recipe that caught my eye from... Continue Reading →
One of my friends described the feeling of coming back from New Orleans as "NOLA withdrawal." That makes sense because while in New Orleans for a friend's wedding we tasted many delicious foods ranging from po' boys to turtle soup to smoked bbq to boudin (a ridiculously amazing cajun sausage). At Mother's Restaurant in New... Continue Reading →
While visiting a friend out in Connecticut, he and his family rewarded my mini-road trip with a full day of smoking a pork shoulder. We used a dry rub that I came up with a couple of years ago and a combination of techniques discerned from my own experiences and from reading what others had... Continue Reading →
In order to celebrate a bachelor party in Louisville, KY, a friend and I decided to say, "no," to criminally absurd airline prices and take a road trip instead (the cost of tickets to Kentucky from Providence, RI was more than it cost to take an international flight across the Atlantic). We rented a car... Continue Reading →
After my first attempt at meatballs yielded a very dense product, I decided to go back to the drawing board. I read that using white bread and milk can really help make meatballs tender, so I incorporated those ingredients into the recipe. I also used a slightly fattier ground beef mix (85/15) and pureed the... Continue Reading →
