Los Tacos No. 1 Chelsea Market 75 9th St. New York, NY 10011 Yelp Coming from Southern California, I am not so inclined to eat Mexican food unless I am visiting a place that has more Mexican people than my home state. However, Los Tacos No. 1 came highly recommended to me by another food blogger. It also…

Chile Verde
My work has a cafeteria that serves some pretty crappy (ie healthy) food: low salt, low fat, low flavor. I don’t blame the place. I mean it is a hospital after all. How can such a place justify serving the very type of food that contributes to obesity and all the associated conditions that causes people to…
Peska Seafood Culture
Peska Seafood Culture 1700 Post Oak Blvd, Ste 190 Houston, TX 77056 Yelp It’s probably been 15 years since the last time I saw Hipster KL. Back then he wasn’t so stylin’ and hipstery as he is now. The world is a small place and he happens to work with The Annoyer now. We decided…
Caracol
Caracol 220 Post Oak Blvd Houston, TX 77056 caracol.net Yelp I was thoroughly impressed with Hugo’s simple, yet refined Mexican cuisine. The food was so well executed and nothing too over the top. I don’t think Houstonians or even Texans would fare well with anything that was in the style of Alinea or Eleven…
Hugo’s
Hugo’s 1600 Westheimer Rd Houston, TX 77006 hugorestaurant.net Yelp Our next meal was supposed to be something fancy schmancy. BHD must think that’s all I like to eat. In fact, most people think that’s all I like to eat. I’m a food blogger, not a strictly 3 star Michelin eater. Yes, I blog about the…
Dia de Campo
The South Bay is an upcoming foodie area. It seems like there’s always something new and cool opening up. I really liked Little Sister so I was excited to hear that the chef/owner was opening up a Mexican/seafood themed joint just down the coast in Hermosa Beach. Who other than Smooth Obturator and Triple T, who…
Del Seoul
Almost all the Chicago restaurants I tried were recommended to me by various friends and family. Del Seoul was a place I found on Yelp. It looked pretty delicious and reminiscent of Kogi. It was a bit far from our hotel but we cabbed it pretty easily. Seriously, we spent so much in cab fare…
Xoco
With 5 restaurants, including 1 at O’Hare International Airport and the Macy’s flagship store off the Magnificent Mile, in addition to the title of “Top Chef Master,” Rick Bayless is a Chicago based chef with quite the empire on his hands. Who knew a guy from the Midwest could master Mexican cuisine and elevate it to…
Sushirrito
I love that people are constantly trying to innovate in the food world. People coming up with new twists on old ideas. People mashing up cuisines from different parts of the world. It’s fun to discover all these new things. I wouldn’t exactly say these innovators are always so successful. Sushirrito seems like it would…
Ferry Building Farmer’s Market
So after an awesome dinner at Gary Denko, we woke up the next morning wondering what our next food adventure might be. We had reservations for Bottega in Napa Valley at 5pm, so we didn’t want to eat anything too heavy or too filling. Triple F suggested the Farmer’s Market where we could just try…
The Mission
For our last meal in San Diego, we decided to brunch it up at The Mission. What’s up with brunch places always having some crazy wait? Why does everyone love brunch soooooo darn much?! It’s just breakfast, but at lunch time. For some crazy reason, people get way too excited about eggs and pancakes at…
