The Annoyer is pretty easy going about things. He doesn’t have a strong opinion about many things, but when it comes to Eskimo Candy, he won’t consider any other place for poke. You can try to reason that the poke at Eskimo Candy is too sweet, too saucy, too anything but he’ll argue and disprove…

Coconut’s Fish Cafe
So after a long flight we finally arrived in Maui. The weather was a very welcome change. Not that SoCal is like Siberia or anything but I’d take 70-80 degree weather over 50-60 degrees weather any day. And it turned out that we traded a week of rain for a week of sunshine as well!…
Neptune Oysters
Neptune Oyster 63 Salem St Boston, MA 02113 Yelp neptuneoyster.com I have wanted to visit Boston for a very long time. The last time I was here was probably over 10 years ago, so well before my foodie days. Since that time, I’ve wanted to see if Boston was as vibrant a food metropolis as…
Masraff’s
Masraff’s 1735 Post Oak Blvd. Houston, TX 77056 masraffs.com Yelp Masraff is a seafood centric eatery in Houston. It’s pretty nice and reminds me of a high end steak house like Mastro’s. Dark walls and furnishings, soft lighting, waiters fully suited up, white linens, heavy leather bound menu, large wine list. This is not…
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…
Hog Island Oyster Co.
Hog Island Oyster Co. 1 Ferry Building, Shop 11 San Francisco, CA 94111 hogislandoysters.com YelpThe eat-a-thon continues with lunch at one of my favorite spots in San Francisco, The Ferry Building. I love coming here on the Saturdays when the farmer’s market is really bumpin’. I usually get filled up by all the eats from…
MOzen Bistro
Vegas and buffet are almost synonymous words in my book. You can’t go to Vegas, shop till you drop, gamble like money grows on trees, and NOT eat until you explode. Almost every Vegas trip includes a visit to whatever the hottest buffet is at the moment. That hot buffet is Bacchanal at Caesar’s Palace….
4th Street Market
Growing up in Orange County, Santa Ana was NEVER the place to be. In fact, it was the place you wanted to avoid if you valued your money, valuables, and safety. My how the world, has changed. Santa Ana is now like one of the many small pockets of hipster-dom in Orange County. It’s one…
Da Poke Shack
I was super excited to try the #1 rated place on Yelp’s Top 100 Places to Eat in the US. We were lucky since Da Poke Shack was only a 5 minute walk from our condo. We showed up right when it opened, but a crowd quickly amassed.
Slapfish
Who doesn’t love lobster anything? Slapfish serves up lobster rolls and other seafood themed eats just steps away from the beach in the heart of Laguna Beach. The original location is in Huntington Beach, which, for people like LoMa-Linda and BigHead Talks-A-Lot, would be like hiking it to Mongolia on a camel. Since moving to…
Lèon de Bruxelles
Moule-frites is a very simple and classic Belgian dish that’s popular throughout France. In fact, Leon de Bruxelles is actually a large chain restaurant in France. Your thinking, “Overworked Underfed, how could you dine at a chain restaurant??” Dear readers, some chain restaurants are awesome! First off, everything at Lèon de Bruxelles is fresh, never…
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…
