Lunch at Little Fish

As a food writer, the one thing that I can't argue with is fresh, good food. In endless chef's memoirs or interviews a common thread in their approach to food preparation, is to use good ingredients and to keep it simple. In this particular case, Little Fish does just that. On a business lunch, a couple Fridays ago, I could not have been more satisfied with such simple fare. It was my first visit to the resto and I, having the eternal fear of having food envy, decided that I would follow the lead and order the same as my company. We both had a simple... Read More

Celebratory Night Out at Ryan Duffy's

A couple of weeks ago, a good friend visited me for the weekend.

Wednesday Night Apps at Onyx

I once took my sis to Onyx for Wednesday night, 1/2 priced apps...Now, it seems that every time she comes to visit, her flight always arrives on a Wednesday evening. Coincidence? I think not. As per usual when she arrives and I ask about dinner, her face lights up, and we're going to Onyx. On this particular outing, we had my 20-year-old, rugby playing cousin in tow, which meant that we needed to order alot of food. And so we did-nearly everything on the menu in fact!Angie and I went for a couple glasses of wine, while Robbie had a... Read More
