Blood, Bones & Butter
Gabrielle Hamilton’s memoir, Blood, Bones & Butter: The Inadvertent Education of a Reluctant Chef, is just what a chef’s story should be–delectable, dripping with flavor, tinged with adrenaline and years of too-little sleep.

King of Shish Kabob, Woodland Park NJ Review
King of Shish Kabob in Woodland Park, NJ might as well be known as King of ‘insert menu item here’ – their kabobs are good but their shawarma is to die for, their lamb stuffed grape leaves are addictive and their house made Syrian lamb sausage is out of this world – and everything else not mentioned here is also super tasty.
Seabra’s Marisqueira, Newark NJ Review
The Ironbound section of Newark, NJ is well known for its great food but if fantastic seafood is your goal then Seabra’s Marisqueira should be your top choice. Located just off of Ferry Street, this place is a favorite among the locals and draws fans of authentic Portuguese cuisine from far and wide – one couple we regularly run into commute two hours from Connecticut to satisfy their taste buds.

Grand Case, French St Martin Photo Review
Grand Case, located on the French side of St. Martin is considered by many to be the gastronomic capital of the Caribbean. There are a few places to stay but most prefer the Grand Case Beach Club which is a very reasonably priced condo resort within short walking distance to town. Walking into and around town is very safe and there are usually private security guards stationed on the street leading to the GCBC. There are about 40 restaurants in Grand Case and you can choose from a variety of options from inexpensive BBQ at the beachside Lolos to a multicourse meal at a fine French establishment. Cuisines available in town include French, Italian, Creole, Spanish and American. There are a few bars but overall, this isn’t a party town – my top pick is Calmos Cafe which is a laidback hangout that serves excellent food and hosts live music events a few times a week.

Joe’s Ginger, NYC Review
Joe’s Ginger is a great spot to taste some decent Chinese cuisine, they have a few locations but I prefer the Pell Street area. The service is brisk and the atmosphere is nothing special but what keeps me coming back are the tasty soup dumplings. They have two versions, crab with pork and just pork – I prefer the plain pork buns but usually order both because, why not. Every once in a while I try something new on the menu, the Mei Fun is good as is their Moo Shu, the seafood casserole was a bit bland though.
