Mi Tierra Café
I went to check out Mi Tierra Cafe on a recommendation for the best Mexican food in San Antonio. The restaurant is in Market Square, just a little over a half mile from the Riverwalk that tourists such as myself usually flock to for a myriad of restaurants and bars. During the evening, there are [...]
Estadio
Estadio, a Spanish themed restaurant now open near Logan Circle, is the latest establishment from the same owner of Proof in Penn Quarter/Chinatown. The restaurant mimics eating in Spain to the most minute details, from the replays of famous Futball games on the widescreen televisions at the bar, the cured Jamon Serrano hanging from the [...]
Quick Toronto Trip Notes
Yonge street is the worst place to get food in the city, which is ironic, considering half the storefronts are lined with restaurants. Restaurant reviews from Canadia coming soon, I promise!
2Amy’s Pizza
2Amy’s neighborhood just isn’t the typical place I’d find myself hanging out in DC. It’s in Northwest, but it’s pretty up there as far as NW DC addresses go. Idaho Ave? I didn’t even know there WAS an Idaho Ave in this city. This all goes out the window, of course, if you’re a student [...]
Coconut Fried Shrimp
One of my friends mentioned to me how much he appreciated how I am constantly working on ways to cheat within the rules. I couldn’t agree more. So I decided to give a go at making a paleo fried shrimp recipe. This is another super easy recipe to follow, and with minimal ingredients. The coconut [...]
Sushi Taro
DC is full of neighborhood gem type sushi restaurants, but none stand out in the Dupont Circle area quite like Sushi Taro. Well, not in the physical sense, at least. The restaurant can barely be seen by pedestrians on the street, its sign dwarfed by the CVS pharmacy that makes up the majority of the [...]
Sunflower Restaurant
A wholly vegetarian restaurant is quite the exotic experience for me. I’m left at a loss of expectations before I even enter the front door. Do I need to bring my passport? Are they going to give me one of those uber-intrusive body scans, and check me for contraband weapons or meats? Do they speak [...]
Paleo Smoked BBQ Buffalo Brisket
Son of Grok has a fantastic paleo BBQ sauce, but it’s more of a saucy sauce, meaning, you pour it right over you’re going to cook, or use it to marinate your delicious pasture raised meats. I tend to need it more for crockpottery, so I modified it just a tiny bit for my purposes [...]
Social
Columbia Heights is quite the clash of cultures these days. The streets are filled with hoodrats, latino workers, hipsters, and well, the other people who live there. It’s one of the few areas in Northwest DC where you can pick up kitschy photo frames from Target on one block, and get shot or stabbed on [...]
Coconut Cake Recipe
I saw this recipe a while back for a paleo coconut cake and have been waiting for chance to actually make it. I had a few friends come over for dinner the other night, and decided that was about as good of an opportunity as any. Looking over the ingredient list, I was a bit [...]
