Cuban | Goodies First
http://www.goodiesfirst.com/category/what-to-eat/cuban
Rest of the World. Every country, state and city. Food & Beverage. Posts from the ‘Cuban’ Category. Latin American Bayside Café. After our welcome to Miami mishap in finding the Latin American Cafeteria, we never made it back out to that part of the city. I’m not even sure what. But I wasn’t going to come all the way to Miami and go cubano-less. A medianoche, which our waitress actually called a midnight, was the sensible solution. Sure, it’s on sweeter bread but it’s more manageable in size....Was first...

Ecuadorian | Goodies First
http://www.goodiesfirst.com/category/what-to-eat/ecuadorian
Rest of the World. Every country, state and city. Food & Beverage. Posts from the ‘Ecuadorian’ Category. I eventually moved six stops plus a transfer from Graham Avenue and always wondered what the landscape was like above ground between the two. I’m sure things have changed, but in the late ‘90s stops like Morgan, DeKalb and Jefferson (I’m still not sure what Jefferson looks like from the outside) seemed desolate and unpopulated like the eerie Bowery M station. But Barzola is seafood-centric. I have a s...

Caribbean | Goodies First
http://www.goodiesfirst.com/category/what-to-eat/caribbean
Rest of the World. Every country, state and city. Food & Beverage. Posts from the ‘Caribbean’ Category. The Post-Millennium Chain Restaurants of Middlesex County New Jersey: Bahama Breeze. The Caribbean comes to the suburbs, one pineapple coconut martini at a time. Indiscriminate usage of descriptors Island, Creole, Cuban, and Jamaican, and an unusually long list of appetizers and snacks, i.e. “Caribbean inspired tapas.”. The new Bloomin’ Onion:. Truffled yuca fries with guava ketchup. It’s not all...

Cambodian | Goodies First
http://www.goodiesfirst.com/category/what-to-eat/cambodian
Rest of the World. Every country, state and city. Food & Beverage. Posts from the ‘Cambodian’ Category. Kampuchea was considerably more winsome than bumbling Cambodia Cuisine. I’m always price conscious. Because you don’t generally eat Vietnamese sandwiches amidst even a hint of décor and they’re probably not making their pate in house or using Duroc pork. If it ever opens. Pork belly cubes were a must and had a high meat to fat ratio (one of my two squares was almost too lean for my taste). A sharp ...

Canadian | Goodies First
http://www.goodiesfirst.com/category/what-to-eat/canadian
Rest of the World. Every country, state and city. Food & Beverage. Posts from the ‘Canadian’ Category. Attempts at artisanalizing the McRib. My venison and spaetzle was no less hearty, but a touch more traditional. Seeing my first snowfall of the season and excited by finally being able to crack out my parka, I was going wintery and filling all the way. From start-to-finish, we got the full Montreal welcome. It was more than enough to drop my old Au Pied de Cochon grudge. Because I’m mature that way now.

Brazilian | Goodies First
http://www.goodiesfirst.com/category/what-to-eat/brazilian
Rest of the World. Every country, state and city. Food & Beverage. Posts from the ‘Brazilian’ Category. I think this might be a record between a visit and a closing; Katmandu Spice is already closed. Queens is a melting pot, sure. And sometimes that pot bubbles right over. Whether or not you enjoy the culinary chaos might depend on how you feel about eating Brazilian, Nepali and Chinese-Indian food cooked by the same chef. Next stop: Indo Hut, the self-proclaimed Indo Continental Bistro covered in...

Burmese | Goodies First
http://www.goodiesfirst.com/category/what-to-eat/burmese
Rest of the World. Every country, state and city. Food & Beverage. Posts from the ‘Burmese’ Category. Unlike in the Bay Area, Burmese food has never been a thing in NYC. There was Village Mingala, one of the first restaurants I ever experienced in the city over 20 years ago, that short-lived Burmese Cafe. In Jackson Heights, a few food festivals here and there (in fact, there’s a Burmese new year celebration. And that I forget about because it’s not immediately logical. I’m not sure that the menu i...

Rest of the World. Every country, state and city. Food & Beverage. Posts from the ‘Chilean’ Category. You too would think New York City hot dogs were only so-so. If you were used to eating them Chilean-style, smothered in mayonnaise and mashed avocados. For yourself at Astoria’s San Antonio Bakery. I forgot to take a photo of the hot dog, though. (Im not a big hot dog eater.). Luckily, Robyn Lees (thats her pic above) Chilean sandwich post on Serious Eats. Provides some nice visual evidence. Yesterday wa...

Australian/New Zealand | Goodies First
http://www.goodiesfirst.com/category/what-to-eat/australiannew-zealand
Rest of the World. Every country, state and city. Food & Beverage. Posts from the ‘Australian/New Zealand’ Category. We started with ricotta flavored with thyme and honey (at least I thought it was honey–the sticky substance looks more like marmalade in the photo) and topped with a few fig wedges. The fresh crumbly cheese paired well with the sweet raisin-studded bread. I think the smaller plates might be where they excel. 18 Bedford Ave., Brooklyn, NY. I’m all for new restaurants brightening up bleak st...

Julie Halpern's Blog of Wonder. Visit with the YA and children's author as she spins fascinating yarns about daily life. Wednesday, September 22, 2010. What's the deal, Rupe? I'm sure you're busy, but filming for the Potter films is over. Plus, how busy could you have been while you were filming Potter? I'm sure you had like eighty hours a day to just pick your butt while they changed scenes and stuff. I feel seriously dissed by the Grintster. Sigh. 2 Felicia Day and Wil Wheaton. Lay 'em on me. I got to ...
