New York: The Food Hall Inside Grand Central Terminal

HERE ARE 14 EATERIES! It was my first time in New York and I had no idea the Grand Central Terminal had a food hall — formally known as the Grand Central Lower Level Dining Concours. I boarded the train in Connecticut and once we arrived at the iconic terminal, all we wanted to do was capture the main area and then go outside to see the city. But first... the restroom. During our quest for the restroom, we stumble upon the Lower Level Dining Concourse. In the dimly lit bu

Chef Fish's First Pop-Up Is Fit For The Epicurean

CHEF FISH CREATES ONE HELL OF A DISH The Fish Family are one of the most hospitable people I know and it's no wonder how they managed to pulled off such a success pop-up restaurant. The special event took place on a Monday inside a bakery in Temecula, California. Mrs. Fish did an incredible job setting up the front of the house. The candlelit space was whimsical with a touch of sophistication. What I like most about pop-up restaurants is that they're all about gastronomy.

Chef Bustos And Belching Beaver Brewery Bring Six Courses

ONE OF THEE BEST FOOD AND BEER PAIRINGS HAPPENED INSIDE A SPEAKEASY A pop-up food and beer pairing event was to take place inside 101 Proof Speakeasy and I couldn't pass it up. Not only would this event be ocean side... ahem in Oceanside, California, but I find speakeasies to be alluring. I have never been to a speakeasy that didn't have an air of sophistication about them, knowledgeable mixologists, a secret door, and dim lighting. The location is certainly a factor that

Is Shake Shack Better Than In & Out?

COULD IT BE A BATTLE BETWEEN EAST COAST VERSUS WEST COAST OR OLD SCHOOL VERSUS HIPSTER... On the west coast is In & Out, who started as a hamburger drive-thru stand in Baldwin Park, California, in 1948. On the east coast, a popular hot dog cart in Madison Square Park, New York, became a permanent kiosk, in 2004, and that's how Shake Shack was born. In & Out Since 1948 The menu at In & Out's is very simple offering only 3 combos: Double-Double, Cheeseburger and Hamburger. The

Burrata with Melon & Prosciutto ($11) New to the city of Riverside, California is MidiCi The Neapolitan Pizza Company, located at Galleria Mall (underneath the AMC Theater). This California based pizzeria forms part

RestauRanting: The Pub at Chino Hills

A PUB WITH STYLE, GREAT FOOD AND CRAZY DRINK SPECIALS The name might be a little misleading so lets begin by properly labeling this establishment as "gastropub." Just a minor change to hint at the great food served in this New American style restaurant. The decor here is simple yet modern. On the walls hang large black chalkboards with drawings and list of menu items... artist unknown. It has the unpretentious feel of a neighborhood bar with crazy drunk happy hour special
