Dennis, a friend and I went to Nobu in New York last month and I’m just processing the photos now. This place is absolutely delicious. Everything we ate was amazing and I highly recommend trying it. Service and drinks were both great. The black cod (pictured) was sweet and savory and [...]

Eating in New York is dangerous. There are tourist traps everywhere — good food that is really expensive, pretty food that is no good, or food that is just plain bad. My latest trip to New York (pics) was foodgasmic.
We went to Katz, 2nd Ave Deli, Blue Smoke, La Famigilia, and some awesome [...]
For the last 7 years San Francisco has run Dine About Town to encourage people to go out in January (post holiday spending is traditionally low).
This is a great way to try a new restaurant or return to a place you love. Macworld is just around the corner so visitors can experience some of [...]
After looking at all the menus at MGM, we chose Fiamma. Good Italian is difficult to find in SF, so it seemed worthwhile to try this cute Italian place.
The meal:
beet salad
octopus salad
grilled hamachi
lobster gnocchi
spaghetti & meatballs
donut holes
Drinks
The best drink I had was at this restaurant. It was some brandy/cherry concoction that was (amazingly!!) [...]
For my sister’s birthday, Dennis and I took her and her fiance out for dinner at Aqua. This is one of those popular fancy restaurants that my sister has been talking about for years.
dishes I discuss:
raw hamachi with basil
pea soup
sturgeon with chickpea
skate with portabello
pot roast with prawns
creme brulee
chocolate tart
lemon souffle
poached pears
crappy cameraphone photos from [...]
The Dresden Dolls have become so popular that I don’t think I’ll ever be able to enjoy them at a small-medium sized venue again. They will be performing at The Warfield, but alas, it is sold out. Sadness. Though I am willing to drop $40-50 to see them perform, dealing with scalpers [...]
Last Saturday, Dennis and Adam and Katie and I went to the fabulous Moroccan place in the Mission. I can’t remember what it was called (I think it starts with ‘A’), but it was on Valencia between 16th and 17th near Bombay Ice Cream.
The place is very comfortable–low light, cushioned seats and benches. [...]
Last night Dennis and I went to Maverick’s for dinner. The place is tiny–seats maybe 30. The food is very ‘american’ (vegetarian unfriendly), but the service is excellent. Dennis is very fond of this place for that reason. (It is also within the allowed 4 block radius of our home).
I started [...]
