Best of the Month

My Top Dishes of November 2018.

My Top Dishes of November 2018.

Hey fam – wow, this was one productive month!  I’m actually very happy with all that I managed to accomplish.  As much as I went out, this was actually a relatively mixed month for dining — the lows were low, and the highs were high.  […]

My Top Dishes of October 2018.

My Top Dishes of October 2018.

With plenty of international travel this month, it’s no wonder there’s a range across countries for my favorite dishes in October 2018. As always, in no particular order… Egg custard, Mingles. Scallops, Gary Danko. Pork Belly, Antebellum. Given that I’ll be in Dubai for the […]

My Top Dishes of September 2018.

My Top Dishes of September 2018.

September came and went in a hurry!  A packed month, to be sure.  As I’m still committing to my Keto diet, I went out quite a bit less, but there was still some delicious food. Gyu no tataki, from Zuma. Seared octopus, from my dinner […]

My Top Dishes of August 2018.

My Top Dishes of August 2018.

August was a strange month — ending our trip in the States, a sneaky trip to Sofia, and a launch in Dubai, I’m not really sure where the days went.  How about you? Anyway, here’s what was memorable: Garlic butter prawns, Tresind. Diver scallops, Parkside District. […]

My Top Dishes of July 2018.

My Top Dishes of July 2018.

Admittedly, July has more or less blown away any other month in 2018.  I can’t eat like this every month, but it’s certainly been fun. Many difficult decisions, but here’s what I’ve managed to narrow down: Hen of the Woods mushroom, The Ledbury.  It’s actually […]

My Top Dishes of May/June 2018.

My Top Dishes of May/June 2018.

I didn’t even realize I managed to skip a month until we were back from Tbilisi.  Oh well, as I’ve been on a reduced dining out schedule, it seems okay to push these two months together. In no particular order: A meal at the Gogi Dvalishvili winemakers […]

My Top Dishes of April 2018.

My Top Dishes of April 2018.

In which I almost forget it’s the end of the month!  From starting the month in Zanzibar to a busy few weeks of meetings and conferences, I’m glad that Mercury is out of retrograde and there were plenty of delicious dishes to enjoy.  In no […]

My Top Dishes of March 2018.

My Top Dishes of March 2018.

A relatively subdued March, but still some good dishes out there.  In no particular order: Beef Tataki at SLAB  Fritto Misto di Mare at The Yacht Club, Bulgari Tuna Ceviche at Garden Special mention to the trio of tacos at the Peyote brunch and the tapas […]

My Top Dishes of February 2018.

My Top Dishes of February 2018.

Not going to lie, gang, it was a slow month.  Most of that was intentional and on purpose, as I finished a book, am getting it ready for publication, and started writing my next one (I’m close to 20K words into it so far).  Add […]
