An Encounter With The Comfort Truck

One of my absolute fave LA people, Rissa, called me the other night with the news that she was about the encounter the one and only Comfort Truck.  See what happened when she met the one and only Chef Brian Hill on her quest for some comfort food.   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thanks to Twitter, I have developed a mild fascination with gourmet food trucks in Los Angeles. On any given day, trucks can be found from the Valley to the South Bay selling their tasty wares … [Read more...]



One Of These Things Just Doesn’t Belong …

"Crispy Caramel Chicken Salad"

Take a look at that salad... Seriously, take a look. Can you pick out what doesn't belong there?  Last week I went to lunch with some friends and we decided to check out Hamburger Mary's. It's a new spot that recently came to downtown Orlando and is definitely a fun spot. It's perfect for this gal - I mean they even serve your check in a STILETTO! SL had been coveting their "to die for" salmon salad and, well, who am I to argue. Plus - I do have a bone to pick with Downtown Orlando - … [Read more...]



A Night At Amada

One of my favorite chefs is Jose Garces. I've heard rave reviews about his restaurants. His cookbook, Latin Evolution, is like art. And, to boot, the man spanked Bobby Flay HARD on Iron Chef America.

Amada is a Spanish tapas restaurant in Olde City, Philadelphia which was just a hop, skip and a jump from my hotel at Penn's Landing. I have to say, Amada lived up to their buzz - the restaurant was all … [Read more...]

Last Saturday, yours truly, along with a fabulous group of Florida Foodbuzz Featured Publishers had an evening out at Todd English's bluezoo here in Orlando, Florida. The event was amazing, to say the least. My buddy, SL, and I departed for all things Disney and something about the hotel just reminded me of Palm Beach. Calm, serene and decadent. The restaurant didn't disappoint either. We met up with a host of … [Read more...]



Restaurant Review: Bourbon Blue…

When I was up in Philadelphia on business a few weeks ago, I always take the time to try to find somewhere I can chill out and enjoy time with friends and great conversation. I've learned that with what I do, sometimes just hanging at a club or at someone’s house doesn't always fit the bill. For me, a club often feels like work and just chillin' at someone's house, while it's nice, I want to get out and explore the city.On the last night before I departed my favorite city, I needed to chill … [Read more...]
