cleaning up the look and feel. things are going to be appearing and disappearing for a while…
Wow, a post the same day you went to a restaurant. Impressive.
love the new look - nice and clean.
“Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!” Not really, that’s just what first came to mind.
Texas shrimp industry is dying.
Heading out to SF for a few days, then on to Sydney. Awesomeness.
Do you mean the look and feel of the site, or of Misha?
Yes?
Would love to hear about Vetri. I seen you mentioned the veal on Chuck’s site.
Did you dine at Bedford?
Augie: I did go to Bedford. It was a good meal, but didn’t blow me away. The kitchen seems to be far more stable than at Soma. The prices seem to be pretty reasonable to make it a regular, rather than a special occasion destination. I’ll definitely be back.
That’s how I know the end of the world is near. The Texas Shrimp Industry is failing. Lame ass.
Going back to Le Reve tonight. Awesome.
Check out the Press section of Le Reve’s website. They link to a post on Alison Cook’s blog where you mention them in the comments.
Ok thats seriously odd. It’s like a two line comment in a post about Feast…
Your photos are awfully nice. What camera are you using?
It’s just a Canon compact. Nothing special.
David Chang is full of shit.
nice rebranding but that flower header photo is gay.
Now on twitter http://twitter.com/tastybitz
Full of shit howso? I had an absolutely stellar meal at ssam about a year and a half ago. Although I guess you could probably attribute that more to Tien Ho than Chang.
I didn’t think Ko was as amazing as everyone thinks it is.
And I am really tired of seeing the boy wonder everywhere doing his shtick.
I gave Mix a try - quite good!
While vlaamse frieten are awesome, I’m disappointed you did not review the pickled herring in Amsterdam
It’s coming! Part of the post on the Albert Cuyp market.
albert cuyp post, eh, where art thou?
Oh brother. Its coming:)
I have enjoyed your writing for several months now and thought I’d ask if you currently have any “must eat at” restaurants in Paris.
Brad, thanks for reading. This is going to be long. Better switch to full page mode.
There are a ton of must eat places in Paris, unfortunately I went in August when most restaurants were closed. The places I really wanted to visit were Pierre Gagnaire and L’Astrance. Both were closed for holiday.
Best meal I had there was at Le Bristol, which recently got it’s third star. L’Arpege was very good, but a few things misfired at this meal. Still, if you like subtle flavors and don’t mind paying extreme money for extremely fresh produce, it’s probably worth a visit. Allain Passard is just as iconic as Thomas Keller in the US, so think of it as a mandatory pilgrimage. Le Gaigne was the biggest surprise of the trip. It’s a tiny bistronomique restaurant run by an ex-Gagnaire chef. The food is outstanding, prices are very low for Paris E49 for a 5 course meal. Le Chateuabriand, Le Comptoir du Relais and La Regalade would be in the similar vein (haven’t been to these). I visited the London branch, but L’Aterlier de Joel Robuchon would be a great stop for a high end snack. If you have it in you to visit multiple restaurants in one night, they make it easy to have 3 small plates there and move on somewhere else later that night.
Falafel at L’As du Falafel will change the way you think about falafel and make everything else taste like hockey pucks in comparison. Go there at your own risk. Au Coins du Gourmets serves great Vietnamese/Laotian food and had by far the best service I experienced in Paris.
Two blogs from people with very reliable palates you can rely on almost 100% of the time are:

i always enjoy reading your material.
Arpege!!!!!
this is one of the best food blogs i’ve read in a while. the photos you’ve taken are remarkable. i will def. be coming back to read more
About Kata-nothing could be further from the truth. Anyone who thinks its the same as Azuma is fairly clueless. Their sushi chef Hori-San is the real deal- A hardcore, perfectionist, japanese bad ass. Former chef to the japanese consulate, #1 in his class at the most prestigious cooking school in japan, lauded and revered by local japanese, and very well reviewed by local and national publications. I saw someone tweet that Kata is almost the same is Azuma. Absolutely false.They have many exotic fish that nobody else carries, creative japanese tapas etc. (Unless fois gras and daikon in a reduction sauce is considered normal) The Robata menu is only in the beginning faze, they will have over 20 things later on.Excellent cold sake list. Go to the sushi bar, order an omakase from Hori-San, and then it will all make sense why he is without question the best sushi chef in this city.
Hello Misha. How may I get in touch with you by email. I represent a number of chefs like John Besh in New Orleans to Jeff Tunks in DC. Also, I represent the Inn at Dos Brisas and would like to invite you to a dinner. Could you kindly reply. Thanks so much Simone
PS I love your blog! So well done! Simone
I think i’ve seen this somewhere before…but it’s not bad at all
