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 →
Bergamot Restaurant Review – Somerville, MA
This past Valentine's Day, I went to dinner at Bergamot in Somerville, MA with two friends and my girlfriend on the day before Valentine's Day to beat the rush. I picked the restaurant because it had pretty good reviews and someone recommended it to me although I can't remember who it was. Nonetheless, before we... Continue Reading →
Jack’s Bar-B-Que Review – Nashville, TN
Man Fuel: I'm excited to announce that this is the first guest post on my site that reviews a restaurant. At first I wasn't sure that I wanted reviews on my site that I didn't create myself, but after hearing about "the best barbecue I have ever had in my life," I knew I had... Continue Reading →
A Visual Food Tour of Khartoum, Sudan
This post is long overdue, but I wanted to make sure that I captured my trip to Khartoum, Sudan in a way that would do it justice. There is a lot that I've left out considering that I took over 400 pictures while there. That's more impressive than you might think considering that it's "illegal"... Continue Reading →
The Olive Tap Providence – Review
While walking through Wayland Square in Providence, RI, I stumbled upon a store called, "The Olive Tap," but it wasn't there the last time I was in Wayland Square, so it surprised me at how fast it must have been set up. Out of the corner of my eye, I spotted rows of shiny silver... Continue Reading →
A Visual Food Tour of Salem, MA
As an anniversary present, my girlfriend gifted me a trip to historic Salem, MA and a one night stay in the Hawthorne Hotel. We spent less than 24 hours there, but we saw a lot of what Salem has to offer on the off-season (i.e. not Halloween). A few of the highlights included seeing a... Continue Reading →
Wayland Square Diner Review – Providence, RI
Great breakfasts are hard to find, which is strange when you consider that most people don't set the bar very high for what they're looking for in a breakfast. Most of us that go out for breakfast just want something hot that isn't too greasy or soggy if it's savory or something that isn't too... Continue Reading →
A Visual Food Tour of Brooklyn, NY
A couple of months ago, I attended a wedding in Brooklyn, New York. Coincidentally, this was the same weekend that hurricane Sandy hit the east coast, but we managed to leave NY before it got really bad. That little nugget of information is only tangentially related and didn't really affect my stay, but I do... Continue Reading →
