Fatta Cuckoo: Fried chicken with a sweet touch
Dear Food Diary:
I’ve never met anyone who didn’t absolutely love fried chicken. Yes, there are a few health nuts who takes the skin off and swear by the evidence of flavor even so (whatever *rolling eyes*). Anyways…
When Gilt City had a deal for Fatta Cuckoo’s fried chicken dinner for 4 ($80), I rung up my ChubbyChicas immediately. But shortly after, I was off to Japan and missed my finger lickin’ date.
My friend J reported “best fried chicken I’ve ever had”.
abc cocina: Flavorful tapas and small plates
Dear Food Diary:
Like abc kitchen, abc cocina is a beautifully decorated space within abc carpet & home store.
Jean George plays with latin flavors, while adding his own twist. Flavorful tapas and small plates style menu, meant to be shared.
Sushi Yasaka: Amazingly affordable omakase on the UWS
Dear Food Diary:
As I looked back at 2013, Sushi Yasaka turned out to be my most visited restaurant (Opentable is probably sending my rewards check as I type).
A neighborhood Japanese spot that serves an amazing yet affordable omakase ($45) and mini omakase ($24).
Piora: More Monkey Bread Please!
Dear Food Diary:
One of the best things about blogging is meeting other food lovers. When tabelog had it’s NY Judge meet ‘n greet a couple weeks ago, I met Yvonne and Terry from FilledwithSweets. We immediately made plans to a foodie dinner.
Piora was on top of all our lists and we were able to snatch a reservation for 3 on a weeknight.
Oh my… that monkey bread was the most memorable thing we had that night.
JACOB’S PICKLE: Total calorie splurge. Well worth it.
Dear Food Diary:
After running a 5k charity run, the girls and I splurged our hard earned calories at Jacob’s Pickle. And boy, ohhh boy, it was deliciously spent.
Chill vibe, rustic setting, great food and prices on the Upper West Side. Comfort food at its best plus a variety of pickles.
I can’t wait to go back.
