  • Pre monsoon tourguiding #streetartnyc, @opsnyc glorious square pie & @dominopark. Screw you @spiritairlines for making our friend stress out. #friends #nyc #brooklyn #bushwick #williamsburg
  • I see this guy more in foreign countries than in NYC #friends #uk #london #coffee
  • Quality eats from the last several days. 1 & 2 are pork pasties & Garibaldi biscuits acquired at @daylesfordfarm while 3 & 4 are Black Fox Organic Cider & an @akessons_organic 100% cocoa bar acquired at @jollynicefarmshop. More about those places later. The Red Fox cider is some of the best I’ve had, and the Akesson’s bar is also in my top 100% bars, up there with @fruitionchocolate’s. #daylesfordorganic #jollynice #uk #england #thecotswolds #cotswolds #cider #craftchocolate #chocolate #darkchocolate #food #foodporn #eats #foodphotography
  • The famous “Lord of the Rings” door, flanked by yew trees, at 15th century church, St Edwards, in the Cotswolds town of Stow on the Wold. #stowonthewold #cotswolds #uk #church #architecture #lordoftherings #england
  • Continuing our streak of great lunches in Bath and now the Cotswolds, my mom used her chowdar to sniff out @jesses.bistro in Cirencester. This whole lemon sole was perfectly cooked, simply prepared and delicious, as was my mom’s chicken dish, both impeccably sourced as well. Outstanding lunch. #cirencester #uk #england #cotswolds #food #foodporn #foodphotography #料理
  • My man @mylk took me to the famous Brick Lane Beigel Bake for a satisfying lunch (hadn’t been since 2001) and then some great beers at @brewdogshoreditch, with a beautiful view of the bus stop. #food #foodporn #foodphotography #london #england #bricklane #uk #料理 #beer #craftbeer
  • Stellar Sunday roast w/ beautiful roast potatoes + lovely pressed 🐷 face starter at old school English pub @marksman_pub, in their modern upstairs dining room. Hostess was a twat but the waiter was helpful and friendly and all other service was professional. #britishfood #englishfood #uk #london #sundayroast #foodporn #food #foodphotography #eeeeeats
  • When you’re eating a meal that turns out to be bad, you’re constantly re-evaluating how you perceived earlier dishes based on how disappointing the latter ones are. In this particular case at Park Slope’s @haenyeobk, I re-evaluated the blah grilled mackerel dish as the star of the show (save for the gyoza) based on the horror that followed. The perilla scallion pancake didn’t look burned, but apparently was so that all you could taste was burn. The fried chicken was some of the worst korean fried chicken in memory - perhaps it had been frozen at some point. There was no crunchy goodness, just a blah ball of mushy exterior and separated chicken interior. Bad frying I guess - perhaps the oil wasn’t hot enough. Fried scallops were fine but conceptually I couldn’t understand their place on the menu - they tasted not at all Korean but would have been quite at home on the Jersey shore. And the spicy squid bibimbap had no discernible spice - without the gochujang that we had to ask for - there was no flavor at all. And the rice was undercooked. What a disappointing meal, and not cheap either. This is Korean food dumbed down for the Talde crowd perhaps. #parkslope #brooklyn #nyc #korean #koreanfood #food #foodporn #foodphotography #foodblogger #nycfood #eeeeeats #料理
  • Elmhurst’s Pata Market is evolving from a pre-packaged Thai meal and dry goods shop into more of a cafe, similar to the previous denizen of the space, Sugar Club. They recently added made to order $4 somtum, with optional fried chicken, along with a menu of buns, durian and mango sticky rice, and various drinks and warmed up breads from their selection of goods. Maybe @ironsnax can comment on the somtum’s deliciousness or lack thereof. #food #thaifood #foodporn #foodphotography #elmhurst #queens #nyc #nycfood
  • Elmhurst now has a branch of HK-based tong sui chain, Hui Lau Shan (許留山). Most offerings seem to include mango - I tried D8, a pretty good mango sago concoction. #許留山 #tongsui #dessert #foodporn #foodphotography #food #dessert #nyc #queens #elmhurst #chinese #小吃
