I went to San Francisco expecting a long weekend of good food and mild weather. What I got was the best clam chowder of my life, a near-international incident involving a Yoda statue, and a cioppino that I am still thinking about weeks later. This is the complete guide to everything I ate, drank, and…
This is part of my 72 Hours in San Francisco food and travel guide. Read the full series for every stop on the trip. Let me tell you something about Napa that nobody told me before this trip. It is an hour and a half from San Francisco. An hour and a half. In New…
This is part of my 72 Hours in San Francisco food and travel guide. Read the full series for every stop on the trip. Let me explain how I ended up here. We had just left the area near the Yoda statue outside of Lucasfilm headquarters. Apparently if you try to lift a Yoda statue…
This is part of my 72 Hours in San Francisco food and travel guide. Read the full series for every stop on the trip. I landed in San Francisco, got to my Hotel Emblem, and immediately realized I was starving. Luckily, there was a place nearby called Hamburguesa Bar. From the outside it looked like…
A simple conversation with a friend somehow turned into a full debate about what The Smith actually is. Is it a restaurant? A brunch spot? A safety net for groups who cannot agree on anything? We landed on this. The Smith is the modern New York diner. Not the old school greasy spoon where you…

Bar Chimera sits inside 550 Madison Avenue, the same building as Cote and Sushi Yoshitake, and if you have spent any time at either of those restaurants, you already know what you are walking into. This hospitality group…
Carver Steak NYC Review (Round Two): Back With the Crew and Zero Regrets Well… I ended up back at CarverSteak. This time it was with the old food crew. The OGs. The guys I started this whole “eat everything in sight” journey with. Haven’t seen them in a minute, so we needed somewhere solid, fun,…
Bar Chuzo NYC Review: From Sports Bar Roots to a Slick Brunch Destination So I finally made it out to Bar Chuzo. It has only been open for about a year, which is embarrassing because I have known the owners for close to a decade. I am a terrible friend. In my defense, Bay Ridge…
Another Friday, another reset, and another restaurant that looked way too good on my feed to ignore. This time it was Estelle’s NYC, and before anyone gets confused, this is Estelle’s with two L’s in the Meatpacking District, not the other one downtown. Yes, I’m convinced the naming overlap is intentional… and yes, someone has…
Folk Brooklyn: When Your Foot Takes a Martini Detour I’ve been eyeing Folk in Brooklyn for a while. It sits dangerously close to my regular walking path, which means it falls into that awkward zone: too close to Uber, far enough to make me debate cardio. All winter I kept saying, “I’ll go next week.”…
