Redirecting Perverts to the Refrigerator Since 1999
Soif Wine Bar 105 Walnut St. Santa Cruz, CA 831-423-2020 Downtown Santa Cruz has been taken by storm. A small little wine joint, low profile, on Walnut Ave just off of Pacific (in the back of the old Walgreens building)…it looks like a nice place to stop for a glass of wine while you’re killing…
Bellagio3600 Las Vegas Blvd.South Las Vegas, NV 89109702-693-7223. I’ve had the opportunity to not only eat at one Michael Mina, but two. The first was in Las Vegas and we were impressed, although we were still being subjected to “Vegas people.” They are not our people. The sommelier and waiter were actually quite appreciative of…
The salad is so easy and so heavenly. It can be done with spinach or arugula, I prefer arugula. Throw a diced shallot into a pan with far too much olive oil (this will be your dressing and you won’t be adding more oil) and let them cook at medium heat until they’re soft. Whisk…
I know I can be a little slow getting new recipes up here so to hold you over, you can get some ideas from The Random Recipe Generator. It may not truly be FoodPorn but it’s worth sharing just to spread the laughter!!
7/13/11 Update: I made a summery version of this. Similar recipe, dropped the saffron. Instead of topping with pesto, I topped with fresh tomatoes and basil. I picked up some snapper at the farmers market the other day with the plans to make fish tacos. When I went to actually prepare the fish tacos I…
I usually don’t make it to the store on Tuesday. Wednesday is Farmer’s market day so I try to just hold off and eat what we’ve got. Last night the fridge was pretty empty. But from the garden I picked this lovely plate of Brandywine tomatoes. I grow Winter garden, so I can pick things…
Wednesday nights are my night to experiment with different ingredients within a similar dish. I get Ahi at the farmers market and see what I can dice together. All the ingredients except the salt, pepper, pine nuts and nanami togarashi are from the farmer’s market or my garden. Tonight:Ahi (obviously)1 clove garlic1 medium shallot1 avocado1/2…
NobuIn the Hard Rock CasinoLas Vegas, NV702-693-5090 When we found ourselves planning a trip to Utah, we couldn’t be within a few hours of Vegas and not head there for dinner. We are not gambling people, we are not 110 degree heat people, I do not dress like I just stepped out of the Frederick’s…
B & B Ristorante In the VenetianLas Vegas, NV(702) 266-9977 I used to watch Molto Mario religiously. I have a hard time deciding which I enjoy more, Italian or Japanese food. So on our trip to Las Vegas, I booked dinners for both. The second night we were at Nobu, but our first night was…
Balzac – inside La Stampa Hotel & Spa35 Dawson Street, Dublin, D2, IrelandPhone: (353) 1 677 4444 I couldn’t eat at Boccaccio every night, so I poked around online to try to find somewhere else in Dublin with edible fare. I found a few good references to Balzac so we decided to check it out….
Boccaccio Ristorante Italiano18 Dame StreetDublin 2, IrelandPhone: (+353) 1 679 7049 I’ve been to Dublin twice now. The first trip was in the summer of 2006, the latest was just this past June. Sure, there’s the Book of Kells, churches that are nearly 1000 years old, but what about the food!? Both times I tried…
Black China Cafe1121 Soquel Ave.Santa Cruz, CA 95062(831) 460-1600 Given that I just grabbed a sandwich to go, this review is based on very limited input. Having said that, the sandwich was exquisite. They called it an open faced sandwich, but it was really more like three pieces of bruschetta. Toasted francese with a large…
Gabriella Café910 Cedar StSanta Cruz, CA 95060(831) 457-1677 It had been a while since I’d been to Gabriella Café, they seemed to have a slight downturn in the kitchen a couple years ago, but that is the case no longer. We had an outstanding meal. Since it was my husband’s birthday, we started the meal…
Tavernetta Limoncello THIS RESTAURANT HAS CLOSED I’ve been driving by Limoncello meaning to go there for a while. We finally decided, somewhat on a whim on Saturday night, to try out dinner there. Not the smartest move on Saturday night on Easter weekend, without a reservation. But we waited for about half an hour, and…
Shogun Japanese Restaurant1123 Pacific AveSanta Cruz, CA 95060(831) 469-4477 When I go to places regularly, I tend to forget to review them. I have a hard time choosing which meal to review, which dishes to talk about, and due to my indecision, nothing gets written. I’ve been going to Shogun for years. I’ve never once…
