West Coast Eats: LA Hot Spot for Date Night

By -
DATE: Summer 2015
LOCATION: Katsuya
11777 San Vicente Blvd
Los Angeles, CA 90049

 Unfortunately, I cannot remember exactly what I ate at Katsuya, a place named to have the Best Sushi in LA. But it's no wonder why Katsuya has been given this title. With a master chef serving up Japanese dishes in a modern, artful and trendy spot, makes it a sought after hot spot with a long wait if you do not have reservations.

 Although I may not be able to tell you exactly what I ate here, I can at least show you every tasty morsel I managed to capture from the omakase menu. This chef's tasting menu was totally nosh-worthy and surprisingly filling. That is not to say I didn't wish I had another bite of some of the delicious tastes put in front of me! Whether you are a sushi lover or a basic sushi noob, Katsuya is definitely well worth it and great for date night. 

Bottom Line: Be bold and go for the omakase. The chef's tasting menu really does give you a taste of everything, and in the end is worth it for these bite sized plates. Sit back and enjoy as the kitchen brings you sushi plate after plate of fresh fish. But if you prefer to do a la carte, don't hold back and order whatever catches your eye, it'll definitely please your palate!

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
