They said I’d get tired of the Bakmi
More than thirty years ago, when I was an undergraduate working my way through college, I landed a job at Yono’s Restaurant in Albany’s Robinson Square.

It had been quite a few years since I been to Ireland and this long awaited trip nearly … Continue reading Rise up
When culinary worlds collide – Peking Duck Mac and Cheese at New World Bistro Bar
Mashed potatoes aside, mac and cheese is the ultimate comfort food in my world. When I make it at home, I consider it an emptying-of-the-cheese -drawer exercise, which makes me feel warm and fuzzy in multiple ways. (I hate wasting food.) The randomness of the cheese selections means it may never quite taste exactly the … Continue reading When culinary worlds collide – Peking Duck Mac and Cheese at New World Bistro Bar
