Dive Into The Seahorse Tavern

...The Seahorse Tavern represents a long overdue post for real adults to chow down on some down-home chowder, sling back some raw Blue Point oysters with a pint of Blue Moon Belgian Wheat Ale, or enjoy Basque-style mussels and lemon sole with a friend or date over a bottle of moschofilero from Greece....

Baked Alaska


...Add to that the melange of flavors and aromas: the rich mustard with the soft, small pearls of punch, the cooling ginger, the kicky chili, the verdant dill, and the heady cognac, all of which bouyantly supported the flavors of the mouthful bites of the salmons without once overwhelming or masking them....

The New Fish Dish


Still excited about the new menu items at Dorrian's Red Hand, in some part due to my having input into it. So now they/we offer—as part of their/our expanded entrée menu—a Teriyaki-Glazed Pan-Seared Salmon Filet, that is served over a crisp, warm salad of julienned veggies and some roasted potatoes.

Stop By Go Burger


...My burger was very, very good, with a tasty juicy interior with a crumbly exterior with a respectable amount of crispiness on its edges. The warm, just slightly-tasted bun was airy and held up well under the burger's clear-running liquid, with cool crisp lettuce and thinly sliced tomatoes supporting the sandwich nicely without overwhelming its taste or architecture....

Hungover Easy

...That may explain why after not being able to decide if I wanted a bagel with lox and cream cheese or a Texas Burger (topped with fried egg) for a breakfast, after spotting a bag of something called Bagel Thins, I felt it was fortuitous that I decide to combine the two options into one hellacious idea of a meal....

Surf 'n' Turf Starter

...Most "surf 'n' turf" dishes boast a flavorful earthiness,and this dish was no exception. The smokey brininess of the salmon complimented the mellow beefiness of the slightly seasoned, rare-ish steak. The very bright and peppery dressing accentuated both proteins' flavors, and rounded them out the sweet, almost citrusy herbal hints of the sage.... [Full post]



Five Four Sixty Six, Three

...Yasuda's rice is a star in itself, with silky, firm pearls of kernels with the added palatable ambience of traditionally-aged vinegar. The rice doesn't just support the fish, but accentuates it as well, helping the tongue appreciate each different fish' individual nuance and taste, from the silky and clean earthiness of the King Salmon to the creamy, briny—but not "fishy"—unctuousness of the Sea Urchin....

Quick Post | Fun with Funghi

... I removed the salmon from the skillet, then deglazed the oil and pan drippings with several squeezes of a lemon, rendering and dissolving any solid bits. I then stirred in two tablespoons of dijon mustard, and two tablespoons of butter, stirring that into a nice sauce... [Full post...]



Almost Lost and Luckily Found

...I first noticed the decor, then the menu, then the food—which all looked impressing and appetizing—and, after finally getting permission, was aloud to take some photos of some of the good stuff I was looking at.... [cont.]



Branching Out West

...Both apps (yes, we shared of course) were quite good, a step up from the kind of finger food you get at upscale corporate dinner functions (is that really a complimemt?). The grougeres—I hardly expected so may—were lighter in texture and taste than they looked, with the taste of Cheddar hit the taste buds last without any of the texture of cheese.... [Full post]

Top o' the Fridge to Ya...!

...Quick prep work, quick cooking time, and tasty enough to go down quickly, it made for a likewise very quick post, from which I get to now go work on 5 different clients' websites, then attend my bar/restaurant's annual holiday party.... [cont.]

Eggs Alaric

...I fried two egg yolks (with some residual egg white still on them) sunny side up in another skillet. I placed the warmed egg yolks on top of the smoked salmon, spooned some of the truffled hollandaise on top of the egg yolks, and garnished each with a small sprig of fresh dill and the end-of-a-spoon-tipful of black lumpfish caviar....

Suki To Me!

...So, yes, soup, salad, fried oysters, and three rolls should have rendered me food coma-ready, but something close to the opposite happened. My taste buds were gleefully entertained and my soul was sated, so I wound up feeling somewhat "lighter in spirit".... [cont.]

We Be Salmon...!

I'VE BEEN ASKED HOW I come up with some of my recipe ideas. At any given time I have a whole bunch of ideas "marinating", shall we say, in my head. Usually, the source of their inspiration could be a random food item I happen across in the supermarket, a leftover ingredient in my fridge that I need to use before it goes, or an innocuous request of sorts from one of you!...
