Looking for a great place for sushi. Used to go to Saji’s in the Marina but he fell off the face of the earth. The man was crazy but great uber fresh sushi. Looking for a little help – friends coming into town –...

I don’t think you can sit outside there, but Fufluns has great pizza and Belgian tripel beer; we ate there twice and would love to go again. La Saletta has marvelous crepes (of all things) and decadent chocolate desserts,...

My personal rule is, the spicier the food the sweeter/richer the beverage should be. I also drink dark rich/sweet(er) beer with Indian (i.e. Chimay Blue, Abbey Tripels, etc). Their shear bulk and sweetness standup well to the...

My trip there was only ok with regard to the food. The steak and sides were about average. However, they are making some nice beers which do make it worth a visit. Their tripel and Kolsch were reasonably close to style. Their kegs...

So I’ve planned a trip to Shinjuku Tokyo for 12 days, to see my beloved. We are both in our 20s and love food and all that nightlife jazz... She’s been living there for a few months, I will be staying near the shinjuku...

I enjoy mixed wheat crackers here in NYC from the Hadson Toko Trading Co. similar to http://taquitos.snacktacular.com/snacks.php?snack_code=853. Where I buy them they are called Aji Yose. It’s several types of crackers, some...

Hello: My wife and I (two San Francisco chowhounds) will be visiting Tokyo next month from Sept. 21 through Sept. 26. Neither of us have been to Tokyo before and we’re hoping to sample as much of the wonderful, local...

After hearing Cliff’s BBQ was unexpectedly closed (previous post) I raced over to Rosamunde’s Sausage Grill, another one I kept putting off going to, only to overhear the counter guy (saw him on Bay Cafe with Joe...

, as well as a very good Tripel from Karthuizer, at Lucky Baldwins... but their selection isn’t reliable. As far as I know Karthuizer doesn’t officially export to the US. For a very long time they just barely held on...

. The Red God IPA is a delicious beer for hopheads and the belgian styled Grand Cru and Tripel Threat are the best Belgian style brews I’ve ever had from a brewpub – and I’ve been to many in the Northeast and...

tripeler - Thanks for the compliment. Very kind of you. Nice blog as well by the way. I know who to talk to when I visit Japan.

My husband has built himself a smoker and is turning out amazing things. Occasionally (not often!) we have leftovers. Like tonight. We have quite a bit of leftover pork loin in the fridge. It was AMAZING and I want to do...

My very close friend who a couple of years ago became a beer expert (ie she judges beer competitions, writes articles about beer and has a fledgling beer tasting company) is coming to visit NYC for a week. I am not a beer drinker...

, my continued protein conquest was satiated with Wild Mushroom stuffed pheasant roulade. This dish also had a little potato cake that was made with some mustard and dill and thyme maybe. With that, we had the Gouden Carolus...

Can anyone recommend an Asian market that sells real soba noodles? Whole Foods has “Eden” brand but they also contain wheat. I am looking for 100% buckwheat noodles. Thanks!!
