IMG_0208

What should one make of a restaurant named, Hit & Mrs ? There’s much interest these days in something gourmands and chefs alike call experimental cooking or experimental cuisine. A relatively new approach to food that invents new dishes, and explores new ways to make traditional dishes, with the help of the tools and ideas [...]

The Dish Weekend Tapas brunch is a really traffic stopper! traffic light soup bottom – top: pea soup with marscapone, carrot and cardamom with spiced jack fruit, french onion with gruyere I’ve always liked Chef Steve Allen’s cooking style – brawny, seasonal, and deeply flavored. The tapas served here at Dish is not strictly Spanish [...]

MichaelHan1

At first glance, Michael Han is not your typical chef: quiet, soft-spoken and shy, not to mention a law degree holder. No trace of the Gordon Ramsey-esque ‘tough love’ qualities can you see in this young man. However, ask him a question about his restaurant, FiftyThree, and why he decided to pursue a career in [...]

G3, Twitter & the Royal Wedding

Yes, the G3 Kitchen and Bar is named as such because it [...]

7atenine
