To say we’ve had better Mexican food than the new El Mariachi III at Exit 13 in Saratoga Springs would be quite the understatement. Even “let down” isn’t accurate. “Bad” is probably the best adjective to describe this self-proclaimed Mexican/Spanish local chain. The hot chips and homemade salsa were misleading — they were actually really […]

It’s far from Cuitlacoche on the “Holy crap! What the hell is that and do people actually eat that?!” scale, but I hereby place canned salmon in that department.

Cheeseburger Pizza
Thursday, April 21st, 2005 · 2 Comments
I wanted to puke last night when I saw the commercial featuring Donald Trump advertising the new Domino’s cheeseburger pizza. Then I thought it had to be a joke. It seems that it’s real. And I’m so grossed out by it. Not that I’ve eaten a Domino’s pizza in the past ten or so years […]

A bunch of fancy San Francisco restaurants are getting on board the promo band wagon and offering the Dine About Town special in conjunction with Open Table and Visa.

While in Poughkeepsie on Tuesday of this week to meet with the minister who will marry us, Jen and I had lunch at one of my favorite joints from college: Chan’s Peking Kitchen III on Raymond Ave. When I was Contributing Editor for The Miscellany News (after my reign as Editor-in-Chief came to an end), […]

Old Marin

Last night I ventured out into the wild storm and headed to Marin Joe’s for dinner with Jen and Dad, who were carpooling there from the city after work. The place was great. It was a slice of Old Marin as it was in the 1950s, before all the attitude and neuve riche came to […]

Break at Juan’s

Last night Jen and I took a hiatus from the intense packing underway at good ol’ 1147-D to hit our favorite Mexican food joint, Juan’s Place in Berkeley. It rocked, as always. (Shoot! I just realized that i forgot to bring my burrito nub for lunch today.) Before going into eat, we managed to catch […]

Dinner at Green’s
Thursday, August 1st, 2002 · Comments Off on Dinner at Green’s
This morning at precisely 6am and 32 seconds my watch battery died for the first time. That was right around the time I was waking up for work. Well, my alarm went off at 6am and I snoozed for 15 more minutes. Now the second hand of the watch is pathetically ticking between 32 and […]
