Restaurant Reviews
Several years ago, I fully believed that I hated Indian food. My only experiences with curry up until them were from Jamaican food, which I never liked and convinced me that I hated all kinds of curry. When I tried actual, Indian curry, I found it to be nothing like Jamaican curry. In hindsight, I
I still have very fond memories of my very first time tasting mofongo. If you’re a veteran follower, then you already knew that. Word is getting around that I have a weakness for this Puerto Rican specialty, and recommendations have occasionally come in for places where I can get it. This is how I ended
Typically, I avoid reviewing chain restaurants. However, every now and then, one leaves such an impression that I must tell the world (or, at least my little corner of the universe) about it.
