PORTLAND, Ore.
In my last post from my Portland holiday trip, I give a roundup of all my other dining adventures. I think the diversity below will reinforce this city’s reputation as one of the country’s most exciting food destination.
The following are some of the new places I tried, and doesn’t include some […]

PORTLAND, Ore.
It’s pretty obvious that Portland has a strong coffee culture; I mean, it’s just south of the even more coffee-focused Seattle. But during my recent holiday stay, I felt the cafe scene in this city was even more heightened with several newcomers that quenched my thirst for a soy latte.
Another trend […]

PORTLAND, Ore.
I spent the recent holidays once again visiting my younger sister and family in Portland, and it always gives me the opportunity to check out the latest food trends in one of the most dynamic culinary cities in the country right now.
Many of the new restaurants on my list of places […]

SEATTLE
Last month I was briefly in Seattle for work. And while I was primarily stuck in a hotel, I did venture one night with a co-worker who’s local and discovered the wonders of Dough Zone Dumpling House.
Dough Zone is like the anti-Din Tai Fung. It’s a small chain of restaurants specializing in […]

HONOLULU
One of my more memorable dinners during my Honolulu vacation was at a restaurant that may not be around for too long. Or will it?
That’s the mystery of TBD, the restaurant with the ellipses (on its website its called “tbd …”). It opened five months ago inside the […]

HONOLULU
I recently came back from a visit to Honolulu, which is where I grew up and where my Mom and most of my family still live, so this was more a family vacation than a visit to an exotic island.
So how I tackle Hawaii is a little different than most tourists (although […]

MONTREAL, Quebec, Canada
Finally wrapping up the variety of eats I experienced from my summer weekend in Montreal last month. The city has a vibrant eating scene, and it was fun trying both old favorites and discovering new ones.
But to be transparent, not every meal I had was a success. There were a […]

MONTREAL, Quebec, Canada
Like any major city, Montreal has its share of restaurants coming and going. And during my trip last month, I got to try a few, exciting new spots. One that was especially a highlight was the 3-month-old Restaurant Beau Mont.
The stylish fine-dining restaurant has a strong pedigree being the latest […]

MONTREAL, Quebec, Canada
Montreal’s vibrant dining scene is one of the reasons this is one of my favorite cities to visit, and why I recently spent a long summer weekend here.
Like San Francisco and New York, Montreal’s dining scene is getting competitive, which means some of my favorite restaurants I visited three years […]

SEATTLE
I recently came back from a long weekend in the Pacific Northwest, and while typically you’ll often be hearing a whole slew of Portland bites, this time I went a bit further and dined around town in Seattle.
It’s been several years since I’ve been to the Emerald City, and it’s definitely changed […]

CHICAGO
It takes a bit of work to discover the food scene in Chicago, but in a fun way. Some of the hip, new restaurants are away from the central River Walk or Loop area, and in emerging neighborhoods. That means a bit of walking and figuring out which “L” line to take.
During […]

CHICAGO
A couple of weekends ago I spent it at one of my favorite cities in America. Chicago. Chi-town. Second city.
The food scene is also one of the best in the country, but over my last few visits the focus seem to always lean more toward the sustainable, seasonal ingredients, Euro-centric, Midwestern comfort […]

TOKYO
My favorite meal from my 14-day vacation in Japan was also my final dinner as my trip came to an end.
Planning for a fancy dinner in Japan can be a challenge. Michelin-star restaurants have such a reputation that reservations must be booked months in advance or you have to use a broker […]

KYOTO, Japan
It’s obvious that you can get good sushi in Japan, and the experience can range from elite tiny counter sushi bars requiring months-in-advance reservations to standing sushi shops where you eat in standing-room only situations.
My sister and I love raw fish, so we had no problems eating night after night of […]
