Blue Ribbon Sushi
[From the 2/23/24 newsletter] The other night we went to see Jelly’s Last Jam in concert at City Center and it was fantastic (go see it if you can!). Beforehand, we went to grab dinner and wandered into Blue Ribbon Sushi right by the Time Warner Center. Now you sushi purists may be shocked to…

Craig’s Birthday Dinner at Mori Sushi
|
It’s a bit of a struggle for me to spend a fortune on sushi. Don’t get me wrong; I really like sushi, but I’m perfectly happy eating the $12 sushi sampler at Jinpachi for lunch in West Hollywood. Craig, on the other hand, is a major sushi enthusiast. He loves the stuff and, if given…

Farewell To Perth: Hawker Markets, Eat Drink Blog, A Food Truck Party, Aisuru Sushi, Flipside Burgers & Taiwanese Dessert
My sense of time is totally warped. I flew back from Sydney yesterday, leaving Thursday morning and arriving in L.A. on Thursday morning, five hours earlier than when I left.

4 on 6 Sushi

They were, though via…

The Best Sushi Of Our Lives at Sushi Zo
|
Ok, ok, I know what you’re thinking. “Adam,” you’re saying, shaking your head while sipping a vanilla iced latte (why are you drinking that, anyway?), “you’re losing credibility. You just wrote a post below this about some blood-infused noodles and said that the Thai restaurant where you ate them offered the best Thai meal of…

Brunch at Red Rooster & Craig’s Birthday Dinner at Soto
Some new restaurants deserve their buzz, others not so much. Marcus Samuelsson’s Red Rooster in Harlem deserves its buzz. It’s not really about the food, though the food is very good; it’s about the concept, the location, the community-mindedness of the enterprise.

Omakase at Sushi Yasuda
Craig’s birthday has always been an excellent excuse to splurge at a high-end restaurant, the kind of place I couldn’t justify going to the rest of the year. Usually I pick a place that piques my curiosity, or a place I’ve been dying to try for a long time. Last year we visited Momofuku Ko,…
