New Orleans II
March 29, 2010
I can’t believe it’s almost been a half a year since my trip. I’m going to just post my notes. No time to write. Brunch at Commander’s Palace. I completely understand why people rave about the service here. It is impeccable and the setting is very luxurious and traditional old school southern. Added to the [...]

Alabama & Georgia – BBQ, Fried Chicken, and More
March 26, 2010
From Birmingham to Savannah and then back to Atlanta: Highlands Bar and Grill Oysters, Frito Misto, Chicken Sous Vide – all well executed nothing suprising but good clean flavors and very good service. Seems like a popular after work hangout of professionals in the area. I would definitely return it’s farm to table style done [...]
Spring trip to the South
March 26, 2010
This Spring some friends invited me to join them for a culinary tour of New Orleans. I was excited about eating in New Orleans, but my research for the trip got me thinking about the whole state of Louisiana and the rest of the South. After so many years of international travel, it was high [...]

BRUNO’S ***’
March 25, 2010
In preparation for my trip to the South, HM arranged a training session at Bruno’s. I hadn’t been in years and was interested to see what the new chefs had done with the place. Upon entering I noticed that it is still a bar, most of the seating is the same, though I think some [...]
PICAN ***
August 10, 2009
Who knew that so many restaurants in Oakland are closed on Sunday? Lucky for us, Pican is the exception. We sampled Southern Foie Gras – fried chicken livers with a nice bright slaw to counterbalance the crunchy fried goodness. Even Brett who normally doesn’t prefer chicken livers, enjoyed them. Our second starter was Heirloom Tomato [...]
BROWN SUGAR KITCHEN ***’
June 14, 2009
B and HM brought me here for Saturday brunch. I liked the fried chicken and waffles so much, I returned a week later to have another go at the menu. Enjoyed the following, in order of preference: waffles with maple syrup, fried chicken, both biscuits, cheese grits, gumbo, beignets. Can’t beat the atmosphere, warm and [...]
