Hi, *raises hand*, I'm Jeanne - pronounced like genie and...

 I am addicted to good food (hi Jeanne!) and enjoy it especially in the company of other foodies.  I love anything fried and if it comes with an aioli, even better!  I discovered my love of tapas in Spain & the tasty simplicity of Mediterranean food in Greece, so I am lucky to live in NYC where it’s one of the best cities to feed the crave when I’m looking for a diverse selection.  There aren’t too many cuisines my palate can’t handle.  I like almost everything from Italian, Mexican, Spanish (tapas!), Greek, Asian (Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Malaysian, Thai, Vietnamese… and yes there IS a difference!), BBQ, Peruvian, and of course a good ol’ burger and fries, classic American.  I have a love affair with noodles of all kind; from spaghetti & linguine to ramen, chow fun and lo mein.  Although I love to eat, I’m not an adept cook.  While my fridge and culinary skills may be minimal, my pantry will be stocked with tabasco, sriracha, chili oil and assortments of random spicy sauces. Whenever I have a tasty meal & find a good restaurant, I like to share my experience with other foodies.  I’ve been told that I am “passionate, very excited” and “extremely detailed” when describing my appetizing escapades, whether it’s about a full course meal during Restaurant Week or street eats from the food truck around the corner.  There are no short answers when it comes to discussing food.  I don’t just talk about food; I react & relive the experience of eating it and elaborate on the details of each dish, from the drink to the appetizer, to the dessert and the décor of the place.  As the food documenter/photographer in our foodie group of friends, I like to snap photos of our food before the forks furiously fly for a devouring devastation.  Hopefully I can share my food experience on all the great (or not so great) things I’ve eaten along the way so that you may think – hey, maybe I should try that dish too! Nom nom nom.

Happy Noshing, Jeanne

RESTAURANT:  Mighty Quinn's DATE: March 3,2014 LOCATION: 103 2nd Ave New York, NY 10003     Mighty Quinn’s BBQ – definitely packed with mighty taste at this East Village eatery.  At the corner of 6 th  Street & 2 nd  Ave, this casual space is very warm and inviting with its reclaimed wooden tables and walls.  The front window looks like a glass garage door... I wonder if it actually opens up during the summertime.  (Note:  We were here during poofy down-coat weather, so it is a bit chilly and drafty sitting by the glass window, which also is in the crosswind from the front door!)  The food at Mighty Quinn’s does not fall short in letting only its strong, rustic décor speak for its appeal. Behind the carving counter, the meats are slow cooked and smoked with wood.  I’m usually not a brisket person, as apparently I haven’t had a good brisket up until now.  The great thing about eating with friends is getting to taste a bit of other items from the menu.

RESTAURANT:  Dig Inn   DATE: July 31, '14 LOCATION:   350 Hudson Hello Everyone! Not that any of you knew where I worked before, and not like I’m going to tell you now, but I have moved to a different location and that means a plethora of new places to go and stuff my face. I’ve tried a few places already, but this will be the first one I review. This is Dig Inn, popular lunch spot for the working crowd in Hudson Square. I shall begin with identifying the   items I ordered this afternoon:   A. Spicy Meatballs over brown rice B. String Beans & Roasted Potatoes  (w/ mustard, spices, thyme & fresh parsley) C. Local Cucumber & Avocado Salad w/ Creamy Chia Dressing (w/ onion, local tomato, local basil) So I started by digging into the Cucu & Avo, which was chock full of onions and  didn't  have a single tomato in site.  Didn't  see that coming, but I enjoyed the onions, and I hate tomatoes in salads anyway so good riddance to you.

West Coast Eats: Pacific & Atlantic Oysters Step Up to the Plate

DATE: Summer 2015 LOCATION: Blue Plate Oysterette 1355 Ocean Ave Santa Monica, CA 90401 During our time in LA, we spent a lot of our time in Santa Monica. There’s just something about the boardwalk & beach life that I love. Life can be crazy and chaotic, so whenever I can retreat to the fun, simplistic pleasures of life, I will gladly indulge in it. Somewhere during our days at the Santa Monica Pier, biking to Venice Beach and soaking in the beach life, we made our way to Blue Plate Oysterette . Not too far from Santa Monica pier on Ocean Ave, this place was a casual but classier change from the wings and funnel cakes we had been gorging on. The place definitely speaks to me, since it's all about fresh seafood with a New England vibe. It wouldn’t be right to go to a restaurant named Blue Plate Oysterette and not get ourselves a plate of oysters. We did another East Coast vs. West Coast comparison. On the East Coast side, we had our all-time favorite Blue Po
