Recipes, Restaurant Reviews, and Travel
Birch opened up in June 2013 and I finally had a chance to visit the restaurant when I went there to eat with friends. When I entered the restaurant, I wasn't ready for how small it is. It basically only seats 16-18 people around a U-shaped bar. Nonetheless, this tiny restaurant, run by chef-owners Benjamin... Continue Reading →
Chef Benjamin Sukle and his wife Heidi, opened Birch Restaurant in June 2013. The restaurant has received national acclaim since then while Chef Sukle has been nominated twice for a James Beard Award. Not too long after they opened, I finally had a chance to visit the restaurant with friends. Upon entering the restaurant, I wasn't... Continue Reading →
I'd heard about Oga's from a few food bloggers who had nothing, but good things to say about the restaurant. One blogger I read likened Oga's to a more affordable, but same quality as some of the best sushi places in Boston like Oishii (see my review here). With rave reviews like that, I knew...

I've known about Farmstead for a long time, but for some reason every plan I made to go there somehow derailed and I kept postponing the trip. After finally having a meal at Farmstead, I can see the error in my procrastinating ways. Farmstead is known for its commitment to sustainability, local food sourcing, and... Continue Reading →

I enjoy seafood year-round (let's face it, most of it is frozen before it gets to us lay people anyway), but somehow it just tastes better in the summer. There are all... Continue Reading →

Shortly after that, they opened a burger joint right across the street, aptly named Wahlburgers. I've had the opportunity to eat at both restaurants and both of... Continue Reading →
I've passed by Gennaro's Eatery more times than I can count. I always thought to myself that I'd like to try their food, but nothing about the outside of their restaurant impressed an urgent need to do so even though their slogan is "Family Dining With Flair." I read some reviews and they seemed on... Continue Reading →
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...

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...
