Miso soup invasion. BYOS (bring your own sake)
as much as i loved chocolate and milk as a child, i was not a chocolate milk fanatic, in fact, i rarely had it. in the past few weeks, ive had a little chocolate milk flare-up. and today in a moment of weakness, i reached out in the aisle for the hersheys syrup. got me wondering what other people drank while growing up. we usually had quik for hot chocolate, or occasionally swiss miss. my cousins had bosco which was always the best part of those visits. any ovalteeners out there? what if they had called it roundteen? would it have tasted as good?
in case you weren't keeping notes...last night's tasting menu at wd...

Boi is no Bao Noodles, nice food but Bao is the dope!!
had a excellent meal at Sugiyama, deep meal, modern kaiseki, kobe rocks, super lobster with uni baked on the roe/green gook, lots of shrooms, tons of texture.....aint no Kai....
90 Points
theres a jewish deli over on grand st near clinton with the unappetizing name of Noahs Ark. (hey, lets eat two of everything!) i checked out their website and found this sample bris catering menu, the idea of which i thought was humorous. i just hope that their luncheon meats are thinly sliced.
another reason not to eat farm raised salmon
Win49: excellent steamed dumplings, rolled cabbage, other stuff ok, tasted only 6 dishes.....love the side with each item of cabbage, radish, etc (health with the fry!!)....
In 2004 I will get even more anal and only give scores to meals over 90 out of 100 points, otherwise just babble on....
I hope to get to my top 3 from 2003 this January, plus Casa Mono (fav from December), than its off to new spots plus a few I want to re-try.
The list is long but its Sugiyama, Trotter/Kunz/Keller, Sumile, Megu, Ariyoshi, Biltmore Room, Spice Market, Asiate (take #2), Ping's, Kurima Zushi, Geisha,
Boi, Soba Nippon, etc
Times today talks about the Japanese revolution, yahoo!!
Wylie showed me Japanese "food porno mags" back in 2001 that woke me up,
I sadly missed great meals in Japan cause me broke and booze was more important in the 80's.
Kai did and I assume will continue rocking my world and charts, I am so excited about this year of eating, so much is happening in NY.
Not exciting is the Aquavit chef new spot, to me Aquavit is overrated and look at the Times, "...foie gras nori and short ribs and applesauce, and sushi..." this is cutting edge?? NOT!! And another no thanks looks like Matsuri, the La Caravelle chef leaves cause as the Times sez "...do I really have to work so hard?"
Well Mr Lazy, I am too tired to make it to your new spot!!
But so much to try!!
new favorite snack
