St. Armands Circle in Sarasota is super swanky and touristy. Usually not my scene. That said Shore is well worth heading in. They have this killer deck that overlooks The Circle and has a great vibe with tables and comfy couches. The food is basic and delicious. I get the local favorite every time. The […]

Hillstone Santa Monica is good. I would go back for sure. I like the atmosphere and the service. Casual and a touch upscale. I guess Hillstone is a chain. 9 across the country but it’s solid. The Grilled Artichoke and California Burger were great. Next time I go I will get the Famous French Dip […]

There is so many good sushi joints in L.A. and Wabi Sabi in Venice is one of them. Plus it’s on Abbot Kinney which is a fun street to stroll on. Lots going on. I could eat their hand rolls all day long.

Gjelina is a delicious farm to table joint. Whenever I am in West L.A. I go. It’s in the really cool Abbot Kinney Neighborhood of Venice. The menu is super diverse with lots of vege options and great pizzas too. Open from 8am-12am. Go!

El Five is the newest restaurant from An Edible Beats Joint who also own Rootdown and Linger. All 3 of these joints are a few blocks from each other in the hip LoHi Neighborhood of Denver. And this place does not disappoint. Spanish & Eastern Mediterranean food, killer cocktails and it’s on the 5th (and top) […]

Man Leaf is good. And the atmosphere is great too. This is a beautiful, delicious restaurant that happens to not serve meat. That’s all. These vegetarian entrees are tasty, filling and healthy. You won’t miss the meat. I promise. And if you do then hit up McDonalds later! But I don’t think you will. They […]

DC has a serious food scene folks. Jose Andres is a celebrity chef in town and has a bunch a restaurants. And he is a good person. Loves to give back. Zaytinya is downtown and really wonderful. It was so good that I went back the next day. Lots of small plates that are fun […]

New York City has little pizza-by-the-slice joints practically on every corner. And to be honest, most of them are really good. That said, I like to go to Joe’s Pizza in the West Village. It’s so damn good and they are open until 4am. I love a couple slices of cheese well done.
