iEat with iPhone – Pinewood, No 246, Chipotle, The Oak Table, Joystick Gamebar [part 1]

October 9, 2012

Hey a bunch of phone photos. My iPhone 5 will have to suffice while I replace my camera which was stolen in what was surely a case of blogger espionage. We ventured out to Decatur for an evening of revelry and tried out The Pinewood Tippling Room, in the old Cakes & Ale space. They [...]

Menkoi Ramen House, Sun Ming [Columbia, SC]

July 20, 2012
Menkoi tonkotsu ramen

Eat It, Columbia. Menkoi Ramen House just opened in the Vista, on Gervais St near Assembly. I’m told it’s the owner of Inakaya, which I always found to be decent enough, though I did try tonkotsu ramen there three or four years ago and never desired to order it again. Menkoi is a true ramen-ya, [...]

Temporary Vegetarian

March 5, 2012

As carnivorous as I am, I do love a good veg-only meal. It doesn’t take a culinary genius to make a prime Porterhouse steak taste marvelous. Elevating vegetables to a similar level of satisfaction impresses the heck out of me. Dynamic Dish used to do it to me every time. I continue to enjoy the offerings at Good [...]

Here and There

January 23, 2012

I’ve been traveling all over the place, for work and for pleasure, hence the lack of restaurant and cooking project posts in January. Once I got back from Savannah yesterday afternoon, I spent the rest of the day cooking and watching football, and it was pure pleasure spending some time in the dojo. As I’ve [...]

December 16, 2011

This week I was looking for some new eats in Columbia, so I decided my best bet was to ask @yesevamoore, the excellent political and food writer for The Free Times, which is quite similar to Creative Loafing in content and general swagger. Ms. Moore pointed me in the direction of Spice Junction, a restaurant [...]

True BBQ [Columbia, SC]

August 1, 2011

A friend (thanks Sam) recently told me about True BBQ in Triangle City, between West Columbia and downtown. I was looking for some hash to bring back to Atlanta and my favorite place is only open on Friday and Saturday. I’ve spent a good deal of time researching South Carolina BBQ hash and hadn’t even [...]

Cow Cow Burgers

May 31, 2011

A few weeks I was invited to a dinner at the home of Emile DeFelice, owner of Caw Caw Creek Farm, which I seem to talk about all the time. Emile’s product (pork) is amazing, but he’s also one of the few people in Columbia that I can call a friend. Being that I’ve worked [...]

Best/Worst Soup Improvisations

April 14, 2011

Duck fat matzo ball tom kha soup made in a chicken bone and coconut broth at Baan Sawan. AWESOME! Buffalo Chicken Soup. Basically somewhat thinned out buffalo salad dressing. NOT AWESOME! (Special runner up: The buffalo chicken omelet special I saw this morning at Atlanta Bread Company!)
