Travis Maier no longer at Aroma

August 31, 2010

Chef Travis Maier is no longer at Aroma; his last day was yesterday. Aroma’s management staff is putting their focus completely on sushi– no other choices. The reason given was no budget to keep Travis and to keep the non-sushi menu.
This doesn’t bode well for the only non-chain, sit-down restaurant in Kenwood Towne [...]

Review: Skirtz and Johnston

August 26, 2010

A few weeks ago, I sent Terry to Skirtz and Johnston for some French bread. What he brought back wasn’t crusty, and was almost soggy, so I wrote them off.
Oops. He got a little confused and the bread was from another purveyor (it’s attached to Bean Haus), and not from Skirtz and Johnston, [...]

Cocktail Hour, Bartini’s, Jean-Robert’s Table, Kroeger and Sons

August 20, 2010

Cocktail Hour is the Brooklyn Buck and Moscow Mule, found over at booze me, schmooze me.
Speaking of cocktails, I went to the grand opening of Bartini’s last night.  Seems like a nice bar– very well appointed, and the outdoor section is awesome– but it feels like a bigger Mynt.  The drinks I had weren’t bad [...]

(Guest post by The Boyfriend)
This is definitely not your traditional ballpark fare. But it’s something I could learn to like in a hurry.
On Thursday, the Cincinnati Reds, along with representatives of Food Network, introduced new menu items available in suites at Great American Ball Park.  Suite owners and patrons are now being offered themed meal [...]

I’m back!

August 16, 2010

After a week in Miami, presenting to hundreds of people and enjoying a bit of the Miami nightlife, I’m back home and a little worn out. Some highlights:

Barton G is a spectacle.  Some of the food is great, but a lot of it is just presentation.  For example, I had duck served in a [...]

Summer is the Season for Sex

August 10, 2010

Julie explicitly told me not to talk about sex.
“… Try not to curse or talk about sex (too much),” she said.
Well, what’s a single girl supposed to write about?
How about discussing sex as it relates to food? That’s probably something we can all chew on, right?
As it turns out, the hot and steamy season of [...]

Review: Jalapeno’s Mex-Mex

August 9, 2010

This week, I’m out of town at my company’s sales meeting.  I’ll be really busy, so I’ve asked some of my good friends to blog for me this week.  I hope you enjoy their posts!
This isn’t a normal review. It’s not about discovering a new place, it’s about rediscovering a memory.
You see, there was a [...]
