Fabulous Pre-Holiday Meal at ABC Kitchen

Interiors and the table full of winter produce

I’ve been curious of ABC Kitchen‘s food for a while. Despite the fact I’ve eaten Chef Kluger’s food from two different events. The dishes Kluger created for these events were memorable. It was soulful, bold flavored food despite one was a protein (roast pork) [...]

Belated, Epic Birthday Lunch at Eleven Madison Park (After Its Renovations)

Taken place on November 11, 2010.

A Reunion with A Long Lost Friend

A Note to the chocoholics: To those of you who have seen my “tasting” photos earlier the past weekend, I will not be posting that anytime soon since I recently finished three bars of chocolate (and my stomach’s hurting because of that), I want to pace myself eating these chocolates and I can do whatever [...]
