Korean Fried Chicken Lunch at Momofuku Noodle Bar
The Mrs. treated us to a Korean fried chicken meal at Momofuku Noodle Bar on Manhattan’s Lower East Side. You get two whole chickens for a Benjamin, one fried up Korean style and southern style, and assorted condiments. They can … Continue reading
Of pepper sauce, sport peppers and pepper sport
The current management added a table service at the Highland Park Cafeteria. You still have to carry your own tray (unless, like many of the patrons, you’re too infirm to do this) but then a solicitous person will stop by … Continue reading

The classic L’il Abner comic strip had a recurring character called the Schmoo. To quote Wikipedia, “Shmoos are delicious to eat, and are eager to be eaten. If a human looks at one hungrily, it will happily immolate itself—either by … Continue reading

I have a soft spot for unusual foods that are only available in a single, out-of-the-way location, and Nora’s Turkey Joints sure fit the bill. I heard about them from colleagues on the upstate boards of Yelp when somebody wanted … Continue reading
A day at the Fancy Food Show
When I was young and hungry some years ago, I heard my clients talking about this incredible thing called the Fancy Food Show. Purveyors of gourmet goods would put forth their latest offerings and you could stroll down aisle after … Continue reading
The buffet of buffets
I love me a good buffet. It allows me to do two of my favorite things: stuff my pie hole, and get the better of an amiable and willing adversary. In poker, they say that if you cannot recognize the … Continue reading
If this is a “soft opening” you can tase my ass!
A new restaurant recently opened in our area and I went to try it out. The name and cuisine aren’t important. I drove a long way to order three things of which one was unavailable, one was extremely mediocre, and … Continue reading
