Another week, another business trip. Last week’s trip was to New York, and of course, I had some great things to eat. La Fonda del Sol, where Travis Maier now works, is an excellent choice for Spanish food, located near Grand Central Station.  Chef Josh de Chellis cooked for our table, and it was fantastic. [...]

Brunch in OTR

October 19, 2010

Review: Pho Saigon

October 8, 2010

I was going to write about Jean-Robert’s Table today, but he’s just going to have to wait.  Sorry, JR, but everyone knows about your restaurant.  I’m not sure so many folks know about this little gem south of the river.
