The food is executed perfectly and the service is always great. I had boiled peanuts in a composed dish for the first time, which I thought were really cool.

Everything is very focused and well thought out. I don’t think there is anything going better right now than the Monday night Veggie Night over there. It makes you think about food differently.
Upper West Side

For Japanese and sushi, I love 15 East. The sushi is awesome and it’s one of the few Japanese places where I really enjoy the cooked dishes. They have a duck soba dish with scallions that’s really out of control. But it’s not cheap.
Union Square
Japanese / Sushi
THAI FOOD
It’s kind of a bible, I would say. It’s definitely not for somebody that wants to pick up Thai food and learn, because it’s pretty detailed and there are a lot of ingredients in the book that you’re not going to be able to get. But it’s legit.

GRAND SICHUAN
I get more excited about going out and eating Chinese food, because I’ve never been to China and I don’t have anything to base it off of. My favorites are Schezuan food.

The guy opened it and went back to Japan and left it to his students and they do a really nice job.

PHOENIX GARDEN
It’s Cantonese food and it’s not about the decor, but they do a good business there and it’s BYOB and it’s fun. Their salt and pepper shrimp is pretty good. I like getting them with the shells on, but it freaks people out.
Murray Hill

SHUN LEE PALACE
It’s high-end Chinese and they do a nice job.

It’s tiny, like ten seats. It’s almost like walking into a Chinese take-out restaurant, except it’s Thai food.

It’s pretty consistent and the food is generally good. They’ve got a duck curry that is pretty good.

It’s awesome. Market driven, very hearty, meat-focused, not a lot of fish on the menu. Food was very good.

It’s probably my favorite restaurant in town. It’s a special occasion restaurant, it’s very expensive and it’s really nice.

POOLES BAR-B-Q
Probably the best barbecue I’ve ever eaten. You pay like $5 or $10 and you get a pig and you write your name on the pig. So there is a huge mound outside of the restaurant with different people’s pigs. Not live pigs! Something you push into the ground like a stand.

Taverna Paradiso, in Trapani in Sicily, incredible pastas. I had a sea urchin pasta there that was crazy, and a pink prawn pasta with leeks, both of them were crazy.

It’s where I had Mango Sticky Rice for the first time ever. It was just one of those things, even when the ingredients are so simple and so many places do it, it was just executed perfectly.

Drinks
MEKHONG
Available at these retailers.
I really enjoy drinking Mekhong, even though it’s a little rough. It’s very rum-ish, it has almost has some characteristics of whisky. It’s a little sweet like rum is, and it’s a pretty bad hangover!

THREE CRABS FISH SAUCE

It’s fermented crab base and a great basic to have.
