Chef’s Table at Brooklyn Fare
200 Schermerhorn St., Boerum Hill, NYWe are full time experiencers. Our job, as we see it, is to go out into the world, eat things, and give you some kind of relatable and slightly entertaining opinion of such experiences. All with absolutely no expertise, credentials, or any other legitimate reason for you to listen to us – other than the [...]

Picca
9575 West Pico Blvd., Los Angeles, CADining in Los Angeles is different than dining in New York. You probably don’t need us to tell you that, but every time we eat food in this town, we’re reminded of the fact that having a valet out in front of the restaurant is just about as essential as getting good press. Let’s just [...]

Momofuku Ko
163 1st Ave., East Village, NYIt’s been a few years since Momofuku Ko opened, and now that the restaurant world is done freaking out over it, we figured it was time to check in on the place and see how it’s holding up. Well, that and it took us this long to finally get a reservation. By our calculations, that [...]

Kin Shop
469 6th Ave., West Village, NYFor some reason, I have always associated Thai food in New York City with faceless BYOB establishments that cater mostly to neighborhood takeout and post-grad dinners out on the cheap. That’s probably my fault, for having yet to make it out to some of the legendary places like Sripraphai, and also for living in Murray [...]

Pure Food And Wine
54 Irving Place, Gramercy, NYYou obviously know by now that we’re not vegetarians. At times, this site feels like little more than a lengthy discussion about skirt steak and pork parts. Why then, are we giving so much love to a restaurant serving only raw food? Because while we may not be vegetarians, we are devoted hedonists, and Pure Food and Wine is all about pleasure.

Maharlika
111 1st Ave., East Village, NYWhat started as a once a week pop-up brunch has now turned into a Filipino empire in the making. The crew of friends behind this new restaurant called Maharlika felt that Filipino food was under represented in NYC. So, without much in the way of formal training or restaurant experience, they set out to showcase [...]

Pok Pok Wing
137 Rivington St, Lower East Side, NYBy now, you’ve probably heard us drone on and on about the lack of good wings in this great restaurant city. How are there so many chefs here, yet nobody get this it right? Wings might not be glamorous, but they’re as important to the fabric of East Coast living as pizza, bagels and the [...]

Casa Mono
52 Irving Place, Gramercy, NYMario Batali’s Spanish tapas haven. This is one of those rare places that, if you sample a lot of things, enjoy a bottle of wine or three, and listen to what your waiter suggests, you will have a complete and satisfying dining experience.

Bowen’s Island Restaurant
1870 Bowens Island Rd, Charleston, SCThis past weekend, I found myself in Charleston, South Carolina for a bachelor party. Unfortunately for Immaculate (and my health), this trip was centered around debauchery, not of the culinary type. Although we sampled Bud Lights at pretty much every bar downtown, our crew of 14 wasn’t exactly presentable enough for the likes of Husk [...]

Takashi
456 Hudson Street, West Village, NYThe West Village can be pretty predictable these days. The majority of the restaurants in this area will either make you a) pissed that you weren’t born to live a life of leisure, or b) jealous that your neighborhood isn’t full of sickeningly cute French cafes. Don’t get us wrong, we love spending our mornings [...]
