San Diego, CA (The Joy of Food) — What they’re cooking at Furn Saj represents the country of Lebanon, the cuisine of which usually gets lumped together with a bunch of other stuff and labeled ‘Mediterranean food’ by folks who couldn’t locate the sea of the same name on a […]

Ristorante La Cambusa

in Carbapalooza, Monterosso, Drink, Gone Fishing, Italy, Italian 2 comments

Monterosso, Italy (The Joy of Food) — The Amalfi Coast may be the crown jewel of southern Italy, but the Cinque Terre in the northern region of Liguria, also stunning and majestic in their own right, have one huge advantage: there isn’t a Fiat in sight. The five towns are […]

Garden State Bagels

in American, Breakfast and Pastry, Carbapalooza, United States, San Diego, CA 4 comments

San Diego, CA (The Joy of Food) — The bagels at Garden State are fresh in the mornings, sometimes still hot from the oven, fragrantly sweet, soft without being bready, ready to ripen into the moist, day-old chewiness most people associate with their morning bagel. The allure of the bagel […]

Tribute Pizza

in Carbapalooza, Comfort, Healthy, United States, Vegetarian, Italian, San Diego, CA 4 comments

San Diego, CA (The Joy of Food) — Everyone has a personal pantheon of pizzas: the light, airy, crumby Roman; the crispy, crackly New York; the savory red top Detroit; the thick-crusted, rectangular Sicilian; and the drippy, saucy, cheesy, floppy Neapolitan. Tribute Pizza pays homage to these classics from near and […]

Rome, Italy (The Joy of Food) — The vibe at Trattoria Morgana is gritty with no pretense, the walls are half-brick, half-paint and in places lined with wine bottles doubling as decor and artistry.

Mamaleh’s Delicatessen

in American, Breakfast and Pastry, Carbapalooza, Comfort, Cambridge, MA, United States 4 comments

Cambridge, MA (The Joy of Food) — Mamaleh’s is a modern delicatessen reborn into a civic space that lacks the chubby neon sign, battered counter, and leather booths of other delis with which you’re probably familiar. And yet, as a working Jewish deli, all the classic hits are served here: […]

San Diego, CA (The Joy of Food) — For every street taco joint or fish taco truck in San Diego’s many South Bay neighborhoods, there will be at least one birrieria to soak up the alcohol. Birria — a Mexican dish of shredded goat or beef, stewed in a broth […]

All’antico Vinaio

in Florence, Carbapalooza, Comfort, Drink, Italy, Meaty Goodness, The Milky Way, Italian, Vegetarian 6 comments

Florence, Italy (The Joy of Food) — An All’antico Vinaio experience usually comes with a line, thanks to the tourists who pencil in the place right after the Uffizi on their Florence must-see list, the foodies for whom a hefty meat sandwich and some first-rate wine is just as life-changing […]

Uovo

in Carbapalooza, Comfort, United States, Los Angeles, CA, Italian 4 comments

Los Angeles, CA (The Joy of Food) — To better understand the Italian restaurant Uovo, you need to look at the Japanese restaurant Sugarfish. Sugarfish is the west coast’s Shake Shack of sushi, a beloved chain of restaurants that deliver a mid-level omakase experience at a reasonable price. Like many […]
