smoked salmon with everything bagel and scallion cream cheese
Before Russ & Daughters, I never thought that lox and bagels could possibly taste this good. Imagine thick, multiple layers of oily smoked salmon sliced perfectly, packed between NY style bagels with buttery, smooth cream cheese.

east coast flounder with langoustine, black truffle cauliflower puree, romanesco ($15 supplement)
Cow Cow and I went to this beautiful establishment in the financial district back in January, and I gotta say, it’s probably one of the best meals we’ve had in New York. The restaurant’s website may seem a little dated, however this is a Michelin 2-star restaurant that offers a lot of creativity and balanced flavors by head chef Shaun Hergatt and pastry chef Jennifer Yee.

We wanted to make the picture/text area bigger so we can share bigger, prettier photographs with extra awesomeness with you loyal fewdblog fans. Here are some pictures from last Fall that I wanted to post here to test the site out. Hope you like them.
Brooklyn's famous Buttermilk Channel
Met up with a few friends at the Buttermilk Channel for brunch. One of our friends used to work here so we probably got better treatment than normal, but I could be wrong it’s hard to tell. The restaurant is smartly decorated in blues and white. Kind of reminds me of the Indianapolis Colts which kind of makes me nostalgic for the days they used to win games.

seafood plateau royale
I keep telling myself that occasional seafood indulgence is totally acceptable and that I should practice this indulgence once every few months to keep my sanity. This time, we took our foodie guest from L.A. to our favorite seafood place in New York and made him pay for the meal. Visitors are always welcome!

tuna tartar
Other than Blue Ribbon, Traif in Williamsburg is probably my favorite restaurant in New York. The best part of this restaurant is that their menu changes daily, is open till 2am everyday, and it won’t break your bank eating here like some of the Manhattan places might.

Archer Farms General Tso thick-cut potato chips
You’re probably thinking what I thought when I first saw the package. WTF right? Or maybe you were thinking, where’s the hot and sour soup chips that comes with these chips?

Pig out platter I think it was called. We definitely felt bovine after this meal.
Was down for some BBQ but didn’t want to pay the crazy prices. We found this place from five minutes of searching online. This is definitely a local bar, but with a giant smoker in the back imported from the Lone Star state.
