Fort Lauderdale eats: early evening, Christmas Eve?

For better or for worse, my family’s travel plans (adventuresome husband and wife, twin fourth grader daughters who are game for most things) put us in Fort Lauderdale in the late afternoon of December 24. Anybody have suggestions for a good place for dinner that is likely to be open after 6 p.m. on Christmas…

Bacon & Eggs @ Ann’s Coffee Shop, Menlo Park

Not a place that I’ve thought about much since posting this. But walking by a few months ago, I noticed 30-something customers leaving the restaurant, a much younger demographic than my earlier observation. Also, the specials on the sidewalk board seemed more ambitious than the earlier offerings. Has anyone been lately? Press Release Distribution Service

La Calenda, Yountville Report w/ PICS

In April I rounded out a day on the other side of the mountain by having lunch at Thomas Keller’s latest restaurant, La Calenda, then three months old. I picked a shaded seat on the patio where several patrons were accompanied by their canines. Service was top notch from the hostess, every busser and runner,…

Happy Hour @ Sunset Lounge of Hyatt Carmel Highlands

Back in June, my brother and I treated ourselves to happy hour and gorgeous ocean views at the Sunset Lounge at the Hyatt Highlands Inn. Items were $10 apiece but well-sized and pretty good. Ceviche of the day was made with local halibut, leche de tigre and slices of avocado. Nice job on Peruvian style…

PorkChop & Bubba’s BBQ | Bakersfield

Two months ago I stopped for lunch in Bakersfield on my way to Palm Springs. I was interested in checking out PorkChop and Bubba’s BBQ, as the owners are experienced competitors on the KCBS contest circuit. Even though I arrived after 1pm, the counter-service restaurant was still busy with diners filling the booths and outdoor…

Best Burgers in Oregon

I just had a wonderful burger at the Labor Temple Cafe in Astoria. Their burger is classic — a single 1/3 lb patty cooked medium, which is my standard for comparison. I went for the bacon-“bleu”. I hate that spelling which seems so common on labels and menus. There is nothing French about it, but…

Best Replacement for Francisco Centro Vasco?

Stick to pork, ”Prince”. The lobster at FCV was amazing and for a good price for Manhattan. I miss it a lot. Whenever I came to NYC, I always made a point to eat there. Anyone I ever sent there loved it too. Press Release Distribution Service

Quick Hits! Do You Have Any?

The spinach croissant from Rustiq bakery (formerly Bonaparte Breads). MD storefront, but we partook of it at the Falls Church market. I will crave it again and I challenge it to a duel with spanokopita. Just sayin’. Press Release Distribution Service

Noriega Hotel in Bakersfield – a great experience

While I suspect it’s a place that is frozen in time, any recent experiences at the Noriega Hotel? It was the late, great Jonathan Gold’s favorite Basque eatery in Bakersfield. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/travel/indulging-in-american-basque-cuisine-160720458/ Press Release Distribution Service

Irish tavern coming to Eastchester…

There has been work going on at the former short-lived Yefsi space (it had operated as Edmondo’s years before) on Main St. in Eastchester. I am told it will be called The Irish Bank. They already operate one on Hartsdale Ave., Hartsdale, across from Metro-North. Any word on it? www.theirishbankbar.com Press Release Distribution Service
