Redirecting Perverts to the Refrigerator Since 1999
Wow, was this book right up my alley! I admit, I love a good apocalypse story (books and TV), The Last of Us being the most recent that’s tickled my fancy…and gave me a nightmare or two! Land of Milk and Honey: A Novel takes that love a step further by melding it, blending it,…
Jaleo 480 7th St NW Washington, DC 20004 202-628-7949 The occasion for my visit to DC was a somber one. My uncle passed away in November and he was finally able to be buried in Arlington National Cemetery. He was a 30 year Coast Guard veteran and the ceremony was incredible, beautiful and he earned…
Alinea 1723 North Halsted Chicago, Illinois 60614 312-867-0110 I first got reservations at Alinea in August 2007 for our wedding anniversary. I’d made them months in advance to coincide with a trip to see the in-laws in Chicago after attending a friend’s wedding in Minnesota. That trip became quite the adventure (involving a unexpected road…
Abstract Table 2123 Franklin St Oakland, CA 94612 (818) 585-9152 Popup in residency? I guess that’s what Abstract Table is. It’s living in GastroPig in Oakland. It’s just open (for now) on Friday and Saturday nights. The food is divine. The service is wonderful–full disclosure, I found this place because I know a kid who’s…
Yoichi’s 230 E Victoria St Santa Barbara, CA 93101 805-962-6627 The food is amazing. The presentation is beautiful. The staff is wonderful. We ate things I’ve never heard of. We had some favorites. I loved our waitress. I won’t buy Tommy Hilfiger clothes (not like I did before)–nevermind why. Aside from the other clientele, I…
Blackbird 36 State Street Santa Barbara CA 93101 805-882-0135 I was a little concerned about this reservation. I read good things but do I trust the people who wrote those things? Oh, internet. I was worried because of its location. Right on State Street, a block from the beach, tourist central. That doesn’t usually equate…
We booked an AirBnB while our son was going to be at UCSB volleyball camp. The camp only ran from Saturday to Tuesday so it wasn’t worth driving the 4 hours each way twice. We made a nice long weekend in Santa Barbara out of it. Before we left I texted our Somm friend Bernie…
The view is beautiful. The staff is attentive and wonderful. This is a romantic date spot. The food was good but … Let’s just dive in, shall we? I went back to 2010 and looked at my review of Pacific’s Edge in Carmel. Why? Because Canlis looks almost exactly like it. The architecture is almost…
Oasis Tasting Room & Kitchen 415 A River Street Santa Cruz, CA 95060 831-621-8040 We tend to not go out to eat that often anymore. We are booked all the time with work and school commitments and we usually just want to be at home. When we do go out, we tend to stick with…
Sugarfish 4722 Admiralty Way Marina Del Rey, CA 90292 I love when I stumble upon stripmall sushi that blows me away. I know, it’s a bit of an LA chain restaurant but their fish was really good. The menu is small but the quality is excellent. We’d taken the water taxi around the marina, got…
I knew that the menu here was not for me. It’s Spanish which is part of that region that loves everything on my forbidden list. I went to see The Magnetic Fields at the Fox Theatre…EXCELLENT show by the way. I thought I could grab a seat at Flora, which I’ve been to and loved….
We were north of the Golden Gate Bridge. You know what that means! HANA! We drove up to Santa Rosa to see Neil Gaiman speak (someday I’ll get him to Hana). Then we flew to Montana from the Santa Rosa airport — best kept secret airport. One room, easy in and out. It was awesome….
I haven’t been to Atalier Crenn yet. I have to admit, I’m a little intimidated by Dominique! I don’t know what it is but no matter how often people tell me she’s perfectly lovely, I feel like she’d totally kick my ass. BUT, I still want to eat her food, it looks amazing! We had…
500 Hartnell Street Monterey, CA 93940 (831) 643-1833 We’ve been to 1833 many, many times at this point. We started going two chefs ago and each time there is a change at the helm of the kitchen, we get worried. Every time, our worries are unfounded. One thing about 1833 is it’s very dark so…
Yes, I’ve been remiss in my FoodPorn duties. I’ve still been cooking, traveling, eating amazing things but writing has not been happening. Truth is, I’ve just been overcommitted. I took on contract jobs that filled my every waking hour and some of my sleep as well (or lack thereof). So, what’s been up in my…
