Surawon

Los Angeles · United States — comfort food, korean, koreatown, ox tail

We had this great recommendation from a friend, Surawon, a low key place in a very unsuspecting part of Koreatown. Sure, it’s on Olympic but it’s not in the heart of where all the new places are popping up. So it was fantastic for parking and even more wonderful that we didn’t have to wait

Omakase at Park Restaurant

Montreal — food, omakase, sushi, westmount

Yes, that is some amazing looking sushi. And guess what? This was in Montreal. Yeah, Asian food here has stepped up it’s game, especially with sushi. I’d like to introduce you to Park Restaurant, an establishment based in Westmount. It’s menu is a mix of Japanese and Korean dishes.  We happened to head here for

Au Pied de Cochon

Montreal — foie gras, food, french, quebecois

There are restaurants out there that you have to go to when you visit a city. Here in Montreal, that place is Au Pied de Cochon which translates to “the foot of the pig.” And yes, that is a signature dish on the menu. You can read about that later. For me, this place is

Le Quartier Général

Montreal — bistro, bring your own wine, byob, food, french, quebecois

One of the things I look forward in Montreal is all the French food. Or should I say, the Québécois flare it has. Although I can’t quite put my finger on what makes it Québécois, I can tell it’s both different and good. Damn good. This was my experience at Le Quartier Général, a restaurant in the Plateau.

Lunch at Akiko’s Restaurant

San Francisco — food, lunch, nigiri tasting, sushi

What’s for lunch after yesterday’s amazing sushi dinner? Sushi. Yes. It’s sushi time again. However, it’s at another well known establishment, Akiko’s Restaurant. Not to be mistaken for Akiko’s Sushi Bar on Mason. My friends made that mistake and I hear it happens quite often. The Akiko’s I’m talking about sits on Bush near Grant. There’s no

First Seating at Saru Sushi

San Francisco — food, michelin recommended, nigiri, no reservations, noe valley, omakase

You hear of good sushi places all the time. And if you’re like me, you have a bit of skepticism. But when it came to Saru Sushi, it wasn’t how many people said it was amazing, it was who, plenty of fellow skeptics and food snobs. And after coming here, I get it, it’s good. It’s

The Salt Lick

Austin — all you can eat, barbeque, driftwood, food, no lines

It may have been over a decade, but I can finally scratch this place off my list. The Salt Lick is a place that’s always been on my mind when I visit Texas. This time we were in Austin so that 45 minute drive out to Driftwood didn’t feel so bad. And sure, there’s some

Birthday Dinner at Simbal

Los Angeles — carts, food, little tokyo, shawn pham, southeast asian

Little Tokyo is brimming with new restaurants and attracting top talent from around Los Angeles. One such place was the new restaurant Simbal, a place that serves up playful Southeast Asian cuisine inside a nice and open floor plan. You can see the chef himself, Shawn Pham, managing the kitchen. We did happen to get a photo
