Shake Shack, Madison Square Park, NYC: I totally get why people wait in line for Shack Shack. High quality yet relatively inexpensive and yummy food.
Lunch at MOMA, NYC: besides the cheese plate and a I love MOMA cocktail (basically a Pimms Cup), I had the lunch prix fixe: bruschetta with hummus and zucchini or prosciutto, poached shrimp with buckwheat soba noodles and ginger miso vinaigrette, hazelnut gelato sundae with candied hazelnuts.

Jeni’s Splendid Ice Cream vending machine at CMH. Freaking fantastic! After much deliberating, I chose the Salty Caramel with smoked almonds macaron sandwich. I chose well.

Woodshed Smokehouse , Ft. Worth, TX: grilled Brussells sprouts, smoked redfish, smoked turkey tamales, pork ribs.
The Woodshed is Tim Love’s not so traditional BBQ joint. It’s very Texas but yet it’s not…hard to explain really unless you’ve spent a lot of time in TX. Everything was good but we really loved the redfish.

Brunch at Eclipse Chocolate Cafe in South Park, San Diego: Biscuits and gravy, beet, apple, goat cheese salad with cocoa nibs, maple glazed bacon.
I was a big fan of Eclipse in their former location and attended many of the monthly dinners at the cafe. Now that they are in the new location, I had to check out their brunch. You can choose three items off their menu consisting of sides, soup, mains, and dessert. Each item has a sweet component to it. Will (the chef/owner) makes an incredible chili caramel sauce and I naturally am drawn to those types of items.

Surf and Turf, Bacon, Blue Cheese, Chili Sauce Tots, Bacon popcorn at Riviera Supper Club, La Mesa, CA. The Riv is one of my go to spots when I am in San Diego. There aren’t enough places that stay open late and serve good food in SD so very happy to have the Riv. The deal here is that you cook your own meat. There is a lot of meat abuse on that grill but my steaks always come out to my liking since I love a good, rare steak. I usually get the surf and turf here - the steak comes with a dry rub but I’ve been known to being my own Cajun seasoning for an extra kick. Their side dishes are really good too. For late night snacks, we skip the meat, get the popcorn, tots and mac and cheese. Beer list is fantastic and so are the cocktails. If I’m in town, you are guaranteed to see me here once in that week. Say hi if you see me at the bar!
