Starting with the Lotsa Lazy Cake from Cloud Restaurants on Sunday afternoon, it was an excellent week for home deliveries.  Sometimes you just need a little treat, and these cakes deliver a lot of taste in a small package.  My favorite part?  The crunchy biscuit bits.  I […]

A super-sized version this week. With a few cancellations this week (always a win in my book), I only ended up going to High Joint for their second anniversary and BOCA for a preview of the Discover Galicia menu (and their sixth anniversary, congratulations, guys!), which will be available […]

Week of progress, my favorite kind, incidentally. The week started off on a very high note, with deliveries of Curious Elephant (their chili oil is a must, and we’ve already gone through half a jar in less than a week) and Blossom Honey (excellent if […]

Donate here, in honor of Breonna Taylor.  Her life was worth far more than the drywall the cops were charged for. This verdict, plus the death of RBG, has made for an incredibly difficult week.  Is it November 3rd yet? In less disheartening news, a delivery from […]

Out and about this week at The Lighthouse (and stopping in to say hello at Akiba Dori) in D3.  I visited ages ago for lunch, and I’m happy to note that the consistency has held up.  They’re offering a fairly amazing 3-course set dinner now, […]

Donate here for Jacob Blake. Extremely proud to see many Dubai F&B groups getting together for Save Beirut on August 30th.  If you plan on dining out next week, why not go to one of the establishments supporting the cause? Words, words, words this week […]

So, my week ‘off’ has been a success.  I’ve thoroughly enjoyed not writing or editing, but I think it’s time to get back to a manuscript.  Honestly, it feels like something is missing in my day. I have a relatively clear schedule next week to […]

Honestly, where did this week go?  This was probably the most active I’ve been outside of the house since March.  I finally visited The Maine (those chandeliers!), revisited LahLah (a brilliant ladies night, AED119), and tried the new season at Tresind Studio (just go, you’ll […]
