Num Pang Multiple locations throughout NYC I stumbled upon Num Pang on Yelp. I was interested to see something that looked very much like a Vietnamese sandwich categorized as “Cambodian.” I tried the location at Chelsea Market, which by the way is an AWESOME food lovers paradise. The sandwiches have all the construction and accoutrements of…

Sushi Nakazawa
Sushi Nakazawa West Village 23 Commerce St. New York, NY 10014 Yelp I don’t do a lot of documentaries, but Jiro Dreams of Sushi has to be one of my favorites. The artistry, cinematography, and simplicity of its story telling can make anyone fall in love with sushi. I definitely wanted to run out and…
Xi’an Famous Foods
Xi’an Famous Foods Midtown West 24 W 45th St. New York, NY 10036 (multiple locations throughout New York) Yelp I’ve seen so many TV pieces on various food and travel shows highlighting the famous noodles at Xi’an Famous Foods. Spicy food isn’t my favorite, but I can appreciate the heat if the food is good. It…
Skool
Skool 1725 Alameda St. San Francisco, CA 94103 Yelp The theme of the meal was confusion. At first, I thought Triple F recommended Skool. Then I thought about it more and maybe I got the place confused with Aina. Both are Asian fusion type places with Skool leaning more Japanese and Aina more Hawaiian. We…
Kusakabe
Kusakabe 584 Washington St. San Francisco, CA 94111 Yelp As you’ve noticed, I eat a lot of sushi. It’s mainly because I know it makes The Annoyer very happy to have his “tasty fish.” Kusakabe is definitely one of the fancier sushi restaurants in the city. Omakase can be for $95 or $150. It…
Liholiho Yacht Club
Liho Liho Yacht Club 871 Sutter St. San Francisco, CA 94109 Yelp The much talked about Liholiho Yacht Club has been on my radar since it hit the SF scene. I don’t even live in SF so that probably means this place has made quite the splash, if word has spread to a SoCal resident about…
Kato
Kato 11925 Santa Monica Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90025 Yelp I typically do a fair amount of research into any new restaurant I am checking out. However, it’s nice to be able to put my faith into another person’s hands. Ski Bum, a long time Angeleno, is quite attune to the LA dining scene. She…
LSXO
LSXO 21016 Pacific Coast Hwy. Huntington Beach, CA 92648 Yelp It’s not easy to justify a high price tag for fancified food from a third world country, in this case Vietnam and Southeast Asia. A lot of times, the food is far too dumbed down so as to appeal to the masses, but then misses the mark for…
Alexander’s Steakhouse
Alexander’s Steakhouse 448 Brannan Street San Francisco, CA 94107 Yelp I’m not a huge steak lover, but Alexander’s Steakhouse has been on my radar for a long time. When a location popped up in Pasadena, I was pretty excited. However, the reviews weren’t very strong and I didn’t want to pay a lot of money…
Zushi Puzzle
Zushi Puzzle 1910 Lombard St. San Franciscos, CA 94123 Yelp Triple F has raved about Zushi Puzzle for years now. She loved the place so much, she became a regular. We were seated at the bar and chef/owner Roger was getting chummy with Triple F, like they’re just the best of old friends. I exaggerate, but…
Side Street Inn
Side Street Inn 1225 Hopaka St Honolulu, HI 96814 Yelp Triple F really wanted to check out Side Street Inn. I did my research and the food did not look all that interesting. Large quantities of greasy fried stuff is not really my thing. Smooth Obturator gave this place a strong endorsement so I put…
Overworked. Underfed.
