Sakamai Brunch with a Japanese twist
Dear Food Diary:
Been a fan of Sakamai and couldn’t wait to try their brunch with a Japanese twist.
Happy to report “egg on egg on egg” is on the menu!
Seamore’s : Locally sourced, sustainable seafood
Dear Food Diary:
Seamore’s is serving up one of my favorite fish tacos in NYC. On the menu you’ll find locally sourced, sustainable seafood, simply prepared, with great care for the ingredient.
Noreetuh: Take your tastebuds to Hawaii
Dear Diary:
Noreetuh which means “playground” in Korean, is the new casual Hawaiian inspired spot in the East Village. The chef grew up in Hawaii and lived in Japan. The menu is a mixture of Hawaiian with an Asian twist.
ROSSOPOMODORO: Southern Italian “chain” lands NYC (sorta)
Dear Food Diary:
If you thought Rossopomodoro was just a part of Eataly, you are not alone. It wasn’t until their opening (first stand alone restaurant in America) 2 weeks ago that I learned how big the “chain” actually is. The family restaurant’s headquarter resides Napoli, but they’ve brought their Southern Italian flavors far and wide. From Europe to Middle East, Asia and Africa!
Neapolitan style pizza, homemade pasta made with what they describe as “5 key ingredients” – 00 Caputo Flour, Pasta di Gragnano, Mozzarella di Bufala, San Marzano tomatoes, and extra virgin olive oil from Sorrento.
COSME: Creative Mexican by Chef Enrique Olvera
Dear Food Diary:
Before Cosme landed in NYC, the words creative and Mexican food didn’t seem to make the news. After tasting Mexican celebrity Chef Enrique Olvera’s creations, you understand all the buzz.
Unforgettable dishes and flavors made my last dinner with Terry foodjournies.com (before her trip around the world and move to SF) that much more memorable. What a delicious way to end a chapter with a foodie friend.
