Do Hwa

Kim-Jong-Delicious. Spicy chili pork bulgogi, buckwheat noodles with sesame dressing, dumplings and boiled pertaters.

Jane

Jane is a pretty obvious choice on a sunny day if you live near SoHo. Nonetheless, I liked my girly lunch.

Holla Atcha Salad.

Seacrest Out.

La Colombe

Finally. A good cup of coffee in New York. Ok, that's not really fair. There is good coffee to be found. Just not on my walk to work, which is really the only time I need it. I should further clarify that this is regular coffee. Good cappuccinos are a dime a dozen. Impressive, but much easier to find.

Emporio

New favorite. I won't say much else because i have a feeling everyone's already writing this place up and soon we won't be able to go there anymore. But it's nice while it lasts.

Giordano's - Chicago

This is now a part of me. Get the paddles.

Twins Game Bratwurst - Minneapolis

This doesn't qualify as a restaurant, but I ate it and that's what's important.

Also I was drunk.

St. Louis - Broadway Oyster Bar

Oysters and Alligator. So nasty.
Actually, they were both kind of good, but still. I really don't think alligators were meant to be eaten. They just wouldn't look like that if they were. Everything about green, bumpy, 8-feet long with a hundred teeth hiding in a muddy pond says DO NOT EAT.

Bison is good

This was a restaurant in Minneapolis. I think it was called Mission or Mission Steakhouse or something like that. Pretty good. I am always happy to eat Tatanka.

L'Artusi

Sadly, this photo was taken about 15 seconds after we ate these three perfect Kumamoto Oysters that had just taken a cold shower in shallot mignonette. I think it's kind of weird to take pictures of your food before you eat it. I still do it, of course. But the hungrier I am, the less likely I am to remember. Or care.
The rest of the meal was just as fleeting and delicious. L'Artusi is the sister restaurant to Dell'Anima, which I also love. I won't describe it too much, but I will recommend either. Or both.

Art of Joe

This might be the best coffee I've had since moving here. Even though I guess it isn't a cup of coffee, rather a cappuccino. But you know what I meant, so stop correcting me in your head.

Una Pizza Napolitana

Pretty pretty pretty pretty good pizza.

Ditch Plains

"This is why I'm fat."
One ditch dog, one dirty dog. I think dirty = sloppy joe and ditch = mac and cheese. It doesn't really matter, though, because people shouldn't be eating that shit.
For real, yo.
I am ashamed to say that this wasn't the first time I have abused myself this way. About 30 minutes after eating these hot dogs, you experience a very unique mental debilitation that makes you want to sleep under your desk. Don't fight it.
