This was my second meal with Sarah of Edible Living (link) and the first time, she didn’t want to be on camera, but we got her this time. Maybe it was peer pressure from Katie (link), her friend in from San Francisco. Yes, three food bloggers at once up in this joint, and [...]
Florie and Thomas were such troopers to come in for brunch in the city today; it must have been below zero outside. I took a cab to get to Ditch Plains half an hour earlier than it opened because A) I was fa reezing, B) I thought I was late, C) there’s no really [...]
This was my favorite meal of 93 Plates.

Wow – I want to write about my experience hanging out with Allie and Dan (pic), but I think their video (link) sums it all up, and the food here was just plain amazing. I’m going to dig right in.
We had four courses and started with the Chestnut Soup (pic). When we each [...]
I’ve had a bunch of awesome brunches on this tour at spots notoriously known for having brunch items near the top of the gotta-have-it list. I am pleased to announce that at Plate #37, Norma’s is king of my brunchy mountain.
I dine with the beautiful and talented Jenny Miller (link) who freelances for a [...]
Sanford’s was taken over by the Karelelas children in the mid 90s after their father had owned the place for 20 years. For 50 or so years before that, it was a mainstay in the community as a ’round the clock diner. Walking inside, you would never guess that it A) had ever been [...]
