Overworked. Underfed.

Myers + Chang

Myers + Chang 1145 Washington Street Boston, MA 02118 Yelp Myers + Chang is part of Joanne Chang’s Boston empire. Her claim to fame probably comes from her chain of bakeries, Flour Bakery. But she and her husband, Chef Christopher Myers, decided to take the foods she grew up eating, revamped and reinvented for a fun…

Island Creek Oyster Bar

Island Creek Oyster Bar 500 Commonwealth Ave. Boston, MA 02215 islandcreekoysterbar.com Yelp The Annoyer sang high praises for the lobster roe noodles here. I was really looking forward to trying them, but we were sorely disappointed to find that this is only served for dinner. We had hiked all the way out here for nothing!…

MF Sushi

MF Sushi 1401 Binz St. Houston, TX 77004 Yelp Houston’s best upscale Japanese fusion/sushi restaurant is without a doubt Uchi. Uchi is probably more successful with its Japanese fusion dishes than its classic sushi. Now there is MF Sushi here to fill that void. The restaurant is strikingly modern, elegant, and unarguably beautiful. The sushi bar is…

O Ya

O Ya 9 E St Pl Boston, MA 02111 YelpI didn’t know much about the Boston dining scene, so I let The Annoyer pick this place. Of course it’s sushi because there’s nothing The Annoyer loves more than thinly sliced raw fish. I did some research and found that my trusty Boston blogger, Tiny Urban…

Maui Sweet Eats

I had a lot of random sweet treats in Maui, which I decided to smush into one entry. Ululani’s Hawaiian Shave Ice multiple locations ululanisshaveice.com Yelp Of course, I had Ululani shaved ice. It’s like the Starbucks of Maui. It’s everywhere you turn, on every corner. It turned out to be better than what I…

Mama’s Fish House

We had our last dinner in Maui at this local favorite. While the menu prices rivaled those of Lahaina Grill, the white linen and suited waiters was replaced by blue Hawaiian patterns and casual button ups. The food is less fancy, but still tasty. We were kind of in a hurry to get through our…

Kihei Caffe

So my favorite part of Maui was watching the sun rise at Haleakala Crater. It was pretty painful waking up so early and driving up the windy mountain, only to wait for over an hour for the sun to rise in the blustery cold. The picture does not do the experience justice. You feel like…

Koiso Sushi

The one restaurant that has eluded The Annoyer during the previous 4 times he visited Maui is Koiso Sushi. It’s one sushi chef manning an 11 seat sushi bar and one 4 top table. It’s sort of like your neighborhood sushi joint, but you can’t just walk in any ole time you please and expect…

Star Noodle

Before Sheldon Simeon took home the title of Top Chef, he was the executive chef of Star Noodle. I’m not sure if the place was as popular before or after his win, but it has 2679 reviews on Yelp averaging 4 stars now. That’s pretty stellar. In any case, multiple friends have tried this place…

Braddah Hutts BBQ

So if you’ve ever been to Maui, you’ve probably done the “Road to Hana” trip. It actually sounds much more glamorous than what it actually is, which is just a really long and windy drive around the north part of the island. You’re supposed to get off at various scenic points along the way to…

Lahaina Grill

The Annoyer prefaced Lahaina Grill as our fanciest meal of the entire trip. So The Keeper and I made sure to wear our nicest outfits with heels, and basically look a little less Hawaii and little more LA. Lahaina is quite a drive from Wailea so we were lucky to be able to push back…

South Maui Fish Company

We opted for more poke and fish tacos for our third lunch. Food trucks seem like quite the popular thing in Maui. I wonder if they were popular before the crazy food truck trend hit the mainland. In any case, we hightailed it here after dropping off 3SB for his kite surfing lessons. The rest…
