Le Bernardin
[From the 9/11/23 newsletter] Last night I went with my parents to Le Bernardin, not only one of the city’s great restaurants, but one of the world’s. It’s funny that my parents, who prize value and lack of pretentiousness, like Le Bernardin so much (it’s not only expensive, but very formal) but we all contain…

Red Hook Lobster Pound
[From the 3/14/24 newsletter] Yesterday, I took a walk to Red Hook to pick up some plants for our front porch (more on that in a sec) and did a quick lunch detour to the Red Hook Lobster Pound. One of my favorite things about living in New York again is that you can stroll…

Strange Delight
[From the 8/29/24 newsletter] Last night we had what many couples call “date night.” For me, every night is date night because I like to make every meal an occasion, but for Craig he needs the title to justify going out to a nice/new restaurant. Hence our date night field trip to Strange Delight in…

Saint Julivert
[From the 9/6/24 newsletter] Last night Craig and I finally took advantage of the “Violet Hour” deal at Saint Julivert in our neighborhood. We walk Winston past it all the time and always mean to take advantage of their incredible offer of three half courses for $45 between the hours of 5 and 6. This…

Eel Bar
[From the 3/3/25 Amateur Gourmet Newsletter] I met up with Craig at Eel Bar on the Lower East Side and it was such a buzzy, youthful spot. We felt like old men, even though Craig looks half his age in this picture: The food at Eel Bar was truly excellent. Highlights for me were the…

Penny
[From the 9/18/25 newsletter] Let’s talk about the incredible dinner we had last night at Penny. Craig and I have been meaning to try Penny forever and last night he was in the city so we made a plan to meet up there for some seafood. And some seafood we got! This is only half…

Heli to Rotto, Biking The Island, Quokkas, The Rottnest Express, A Beach Lunch and A Colombian Dinner
The truth about my trip to Australia is that, until I boarded the flight over here, I hadn’t really thought about what it was that I expected to get out of the trip. Of course, just coming here was going to be enriching and exciting, but what specific thing did I hope to take away?…

Clamming For The First Time
I don’t know if Instagram is making me seem like a good photographer or if I’m really a good photographer and I didn’t know that until I had Instagram. Either way, look at that picture I took of Craig standing on rocks the day we arrived on Eliza Island, where Craig’s parents have a cabin…

Linguine with Clams
When you’re an old fogey food blogger like me, dinner comes in one of two categories: 1. something you’ve already blogged about and 2. something you’ve never blogged about. The sad truth is that more often than not, lately, I feel like cooking things that I’ve already blogged about because I love making them. It’s…

Park’s BBQ, Neptune’s Net & Marouch
As I gear up to go to New York for three months, I’m starting to check things off my L.A. “first year” bucket list. Korean BBQ was pretty high up there, and in my browser where I have a folder called LaFood and subfolders like “Chinese,” “Ramen,” “Sushi,” “Thai,” there’s a folder that says “Korean”…
