- My lord! Bruni re-reviews Ssam Bar (after only a year but whateves) and drops 3 stars on my latest obsession. Don’t hate [...]

(happy dance)
Tomorrow is my favorite day of the year next to my birthday and the day CDG was released at H&M.
Here are our top reviews for the week:

Hump Day Reviews: hmph. snooze.
Another Wednesday brings us another round of terribly snooze inducing reviews. Can someone inject some speed into the veins of these guys so we can get something interesting going on? I’ll pay you.

- Andrea Strong eats…well…a burger at 5 Napkin [...]

Kewl series of articles: Forgotten America
Gourmet has a dope series of articles by Robert Sietsema (lurve him) on the forgotten cuisines of America. I am a huge fan of Tex/Mex so it’s nice to see him give some love to that hotness. Speaking of Tex/Mex…San Loco in the EV is like my fave place to oink out on T-Mex. I [...]
