Frequent Fryer, Pt. 2
…At only $12, they are, like their clam counterpart, a great appetizer to split between two people before chowing down on lobster or shrimp rolls, or for one person to completely fill up of some plump, tender shrimp, fried in a simply seasoned crackermeal, and served with a bright, piquant cocktail sauce, deep with earthy hot horseradish….

…The tender chicken was nicely seasoned and slow-cooked patiently to make for some very tender chicken, replete with the flavors of its island seasoning, even rendering the small percent of the chicken’s fattier parts into wonderfully chewable morsels. The rice was nicely aromatic and the sole but oversized, thick slice of plantain was comfortably “toothsome”, nicely caramelized without being overly sweet…. [Full post]

Energy Kitchen | Various Locations | www.energykitchen.com I LOVE SURPRISES. Being a cynic-slash-skeptic makes them, however, very rare occurrences in my life. And when a recent iteration of something called Energy Kitchen opened up directly across the street from me, I, initially, reacted not with surprise, but with pity. The same pity I had for [...]
Outdoor (De)Lighting
… Again, though, this place, with its almost Alice in Wonderland ambience, is a place where the food supports a bigger idea. It’s located right next to a megaplex and conveniently located near several large and small office buildings. You would celebrate birthdays here, or grab a quick plate before catching that 8:10 movie. This is a place where you bring the one you like on the date right before you get serious. It is the theoretical appetizer for what should be the meal of a greater, good time…. [Full post]

…Again, happiness. The meat was near fall-of-the-bone yet still plenty tender, brushed with a tangy, sweet, spicy sauce, with hints of chili powder and garlic in the seasoning and a touch of vinegar,enough to wake up the inside of my cheeks…. [Full post]

…the brisket was juicy, really tender and full of beefy flavor. The ribs were served well by their peppery spice rib, letting the pork flavor eventually shine through with just enough saltiness to get all of my taste buds enjoy the fun. The sausage’s taut skin happily snapped to reward me with a nicely seasoned, almost crumbly meaty interior dribbling with its own rendered fats…. [Full post]
Do You Know Wot?
…All of it contained great flavors, even with some spice combinations being a little foreign to me. the meat dishes each had tender proteins, spiced for flavor and heat, and complemented well by the bread. The vegetable dishes were more mildly seasoned, but let their true taste characters come through…. [Full post]
No…PHUDE…’Til…Brooklyn!
…The chicken had “cracklin’” good skin and was minimally seasoned, letting the the flavor of the chicken shine through, its meat tender and juicy. A nice flaky exterior, an aromatic, airy interior, the biscuit tasted great in its own bitefuls or coupled with a pull of the fried chicken. The mac ‘n’ cheese, drizzled with hot sauce, was creamy smooth, cheesy without that extra “sharpness”, and its pasta maintaining an almost perfect al dente firmness…. [Full post]
Hot Belly and Flaming Hare
…Your first question, probably: What did the rabbit taste like? I could usually tell you. I’ve had it once before, in a stew, and in that particular application, it was only subtly gamey, and it absorbed the flavors of the broth and vegetables that surrounded it…. [Full post...]
