As promised, here’s the full report from our recent Seattle adventure. I’m pleased to say that we managed to have many great meals and didn’t even have to break our budget to do so. Not too long after landing in the Emerald City, we found ourselves strolling along Alki Beach in West Seattle right at [...]

Hungry Mother
This past Saturday, in honor of the wife’s upcoming birthday, the two of us, along with my visiting aunt and uncle, decided to dine at Hungry Mother. Being a pretty universally well-reviewed restaurant and one of the only places in the Boston area that serves food with authentic Southern-style influences, this Cambridge spot has long [...]
Highlights from the West Coast
For the wife and I, much of our life revolves around food. We love food. We love to cook, we love to eat and we love to talk about food, so naturally, whenever we travel somewhere, we always spend a ton of time trying to figure out where and what the locals eat. Upon arriving [...]
Guest Chef for a Night: Recap
My first ever Guest Chef for a Night event has come and passed and now that I’ve had some time to reflect on the big night, I can truly say that I can’t remember a time when I ever worked so hard and furiously to bring something to life. The initial work began a few [...]
Guest Chef for a Night!
A few times a year, CSCA students are presented with an opportunity to participate in a “Guest Chef for a Night” program. Beginning in 2006, the school has partnered with many well known chefs in the Boston area, providing students with the chance to plan a special menu for an evening, to be served as a supplement to the restaurant’s ‘regular’ [...]
Craigie on Main
Craigie on Main has been at the top of my list of ‘must-try’ Boston restaurants ever since we moved to town about a year ago. I keep hearing such good things about this small, upscale spot in Cambridge offering a modern interpretation on a French bistro theme (I wasn’t clever enough to come up with [...]
I ‘heart’ Chinatown
The wife and I had an epiphany the other night. We often find ourselves lamenting over the lack of decent Chinese food options in our neighborhood. On this particular night, we were sitting around the living room trying to decide if we should cook dinner or treat ourselves and eat out. We were both craving [...]
Pig Heaven – New York, NY
Let me begin by reiterating that Pig Heaven is one of my all-time favorite restaurants, ever. My family has been eating here for as long as I can remember and it will always be an appealing place to eat, in part because it holds such high sentimental value. The food is also pretty awesome. Over the years, our trips [...]
Wai Wai Restaurant – Boston, MA
After having 2 especially shi**y days in a row (and having 2 lackluster cold-cut sandwich lunches on those days), I decided that today would be a day for a lunch exploration. But not just any lunch would do today. I was in need of something different and wanted to visit someplace that I hadn’t been before. [...]
Sibling Rivalry – Boston, MA
Sibling Rivalry had been on our list of restaurants-to-try-for-the-first time for a long time, it was just a matter of finding the right reason to go. An early birthday celebration for the wife would become a perfect chance to check this spot off of our list. The restaurant has a pretty good reputation in town…we met a [...]
