All The Things I Eat

On our second night in Chicago, the wildfire smoke had started overtaking the city. The rich haze had turned everything pale orange and halos formed around the street lights. We headed out to Chinatown to eat some dumplings.

Brooklyn is suddenly awash with restaurants serving Thai cuisine. I recently ate dinner at one of the newest ones to open, Chiang Mai Diner. It was fun, tasty, but could have tried taking more risks.

I recently ate at this Queens-based barbecue restaurant known for smoking Kansas City-style meats.

We ate some small plates at Chino Grande, but didn’t sing karaoke.

Cuts & Slices in Brooklyn offers unique flavors inspired by Caribbean dishes. Since I visited last October, the lines have only gotten longer.
