#Foodie Review: Bellaria Restaurant and Wine Bar (London)

Bellaria Restaurant and Wine Bar 71 Great Titchfield Street Fitzrovia London W1W 6RB Overall Verdict: Neutral – Not recommended, but I would not suggest you avoid it. DECOR: 3 From the other reviews, I surmised that the basement was nice and quaint. I guess that depends on what you prefer. I did not sit down […]

#Foodie Review: Topolobampo (Chicago)

Topolobampo does, in my opinion, deserve one Michelin star HOWEVER it does not merit a return visit by me. I would recommend it to tourists or acquaintances if they are fans of Latin American cuisine and want to say they went to a Rick Bayless restaurant. I would not recommend to friends, colleagues or clients.

#Foodie Review: Bishopsgate Kitchen (London)

Bishopsgate Kitchen Review   Summary: NOT Recommended / Abysmal Service with subpar food.

#Foodie Review: Vivat Bacchus (London)

#Foodie Review: Everest restaurant (Chicago)

Everest 440 S. LaSalle | Chicago, IL SHORT VERSION: Everest, while an absolutely fantastic experience I would recommend to friends, colleagues, and anyone who asks, was not good enough to win me over either Avenues at the Peninsula or Les Nomades. I do, however, think it had better food than Alinea, better service than L2O, […]

#Foodie Review: Les Nomades restaurant (Chicago)

Les Nomades 222 E. Ontario | Chicago, IL 60611 SHORT VERSION: Attention Chicago and fellow #foodies around the world, I have a new favorite restaurant and I can’t even pronounce it’s name. Les Nomades changed my world with a meal. This place is fantastic, and their EXclusion from the Michelin list frankly makes me question […]
