mcribs

are coming back this year, nationwide... first time since '94.

french laundry

was a little disappointing. was it really good? absolutely. was it amazing blow-your-socks-off? not so much. but was it worth going back and spending that much money? probably not. more details to come later, hopefully from aileen.

oh man

i get stomach problems after i eat my favorite foods... that sucks.

steak

one of my most favorite foods (if not the most favorite)... but for some reason... steak and my stomach don't get along lately.

pickles

i love them so much... today, i dropped one on the floor in the office and still ate it.

French Laundry

only serves lunch from 11-1pm and they only have 16 tables for the whole restaurant.

Joel Restaurant/Brasserie

our favorite restaurant of all time... has closed. RIP Joel Restaurant.

belongs on the food blog but...

Alma de Cuba in Philly... amazing.

artichokes

never had an artichoke until tonight... the only time i had an artichoke was in spinach and artichoke dip from houston's. man, those things are good. but like a crab (which i really don't like to eat), so much shell for so little meat.

i wonder how healthy artichokes are for you? why yes... yes they are.
