La Lucha Tacos: Round Uno – Taste Match
Dear Food Diary:
Last Friday night was alphabet city’s new joint La Lucha Taco’s opening night. I use to watch Mucha Lucha every saturday morning, so the name brought an immediate smile and more importantly the possibility of finding the perfect taco place in nyc.
By the time we arrived around 7:30pm, there was a long line, apparently I wasn’t the only one excited about getting a real Mexican street food experience. We placed our name at the door with friendly co-owner Carlos, who opened this with his best friend. Their idea is to transport us to the Mexico they know and stopping by a Taqueria for a bite before entering the Arena for Lucha Libre. Hence the decor and name.

An Choi: Banh Mi n’ About Me
Dear Food Diary:
Two month ago, while waiting outside the insane lines of the Bon Appetit Pop Up Cafe, I met my first fellow blogger Jennifer (Blogging Souls), an avid traveler, cook and food lover. After her recent return from the sights and sounds of Brazil (makes me so jealous), she asked to do an interview “about me” over some “bahn mi”… get it? I know, I know, don’t worry, I’m keeping my day job.
$5 David Burke Bucks Giveaway: Sharing the Yummyness
So I went to a DB Dinner Series last night (post to come). And got 2 $5 Burke Bucks. Good for any of the David Burke Restaurants (Fishtail, Townhouse and Bloomingdales). I’ve been to all 3 and had great meals in each (check links to posts on the right)
$5 might not seem like alot, but Fishtail has a lunch menu of items, all $5. (you have to order $10 to use the Burke Bucks, but still a good deal and an excuse to go and give it a try).
I’m doing a little drawing, will pick 2 winners
($5 each, good thru Dec 31 2009)
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO WIN ONE:
• Leave a comment below about which DB Restaurant you want to try
• Come back Monday at noon for Winners names
• Send me a pic and a line about what you ate and where AFTERWARDS.
I’ll mail it out Monday afternoon. Happy Eating Everyone!
Bayan Cafe: Filipino Food in Midtown?……. I’d rather hop on the 7 train. (CLOSED)
Dear Food Diary:
Ever since my last taste of Filipino food, I’ve been running on a pork and sizzling sisig high for weeks. Like an helpless addict, I wanted more.
