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, Vegetarian, Italian 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 […]

The Salt Lick

in American, Austin, TX, Carbapalooza, Comfort, United States, Meaty Goodness 5 comments

Austin, TX (The Joy of Food) — The Salt Lick is quite literally in the middle of nowhere. If after miles and miles of heading down a pitch-black road through Texas Hill Country you, like me, begin to wonder if your $40 Uber ride is taking you out into the […]

San Diego, CA (The Joy of Food) — Yes folks, I like Puesto. If you have followed the Puesto story over the years, you will probably know it to be a trendy Mexican-American front-runner in San Diego that excels at food, drinks, and ambiance. These are trophy tacos given an […]

in American, Breakfast and Pastry, United States, Los Angeles, CA, Meaty Goodness 2 comments

Los Angeles, CA (The Joy of Food) — Eggslut is squarely in the middle of a trend I loathe: the hipsterfication of food, where what you eat is just as ‘edgy’ as the ripped jeans of the clientele, where the casual post-gourmet fare hits the same note as the punk […]

Pho Hoa

San Diego, CA (The Joy of Food) — In a city teeming with Vietnamese noodle shops specializing in the very fragrant beef noodle soup known as pho, one of them has to be getting it right. In San Diego, Pho Hoa might just be it. They do one thing here, […]

Ramen Danbo

in Carbapalooza, Canada, Vancouver, Comfort, Meaty Goodness, Japanese 4 comments

Vancouver, Canada (The Joy of Food) — Ramen Danbo is that place that makes you question life and determine that, until now, all the other ramen you’ve been eating is swill. Here, it is a special kind of ramen that exists perfectly in the moment, and then it disappears. The […]

Steve’s Prince of Steaks

in American, Comfort, Greasy Stuff, Meaty Goodness, United States, Philadelphia, PA 4 comments

Philadelphia, PA (The Joy of Food) — In the lexicon of great American sandwiches, Chicago has the Italian beef, New Orleans has the muffaletta, and Philadelphia has the cheesesteak.
