Posted on April 12, 2017 by docsconz

Posted on December 22, 2016 by docsconz

 
For 2016 I limited my Wish List to the United States and hit 5 out 10, a pretty good ratio with great results. I’m bummed that I missed Matt Lightner’s latest project, Ninebark, in Napa, California, as it closed at […]

Posted on September 4, 2016 by docsconz

It has held a high spot on my Restaurant Wish List for years, ever since I first heard of it during the heyday of eGullet over a decade ago. The reports I had heard and the photos I had seen […]

London Called – Travels With Doc – Day Three – Ozone, Gymkhana, Sipsmith & Noble Rot

Posted on August 21, 2016 by docsconz

We had a little trouble getting going in the morning and so had to rush a bit. That meant no sit down to savor a nice cup of coffee. Instead, we stopped on our way to the Underground at the […]

Posted on August 9, 2016 by docsconz

By the time we returned to our apartment the prior evening, we were thoroughly and ridiculously exhausted, though quite content from a superb first day of the trip. That contentment spilled over into a fine night’s sleep and the next […]

A Taste of Cuba(n Miami)

Posted on April 28, 2016 by docsconz

It’s hard to imagine what Miami, Florida would be like now if the Cuban revolution never happened in the late 1950’s. The Cubano culture has become such an integral part of the city and surrounding areas. I’m sure there still […]
