Michelin flavor, express speed, soup dumplings just got portable.
@nanxiangexpress is the sister shop to NYC’s Michelin recommended @nanxiangsoupdumplings
Same flavor, faster format. Walk in, walk out with juicy soup dumplings, crispy spring rolls under $1, & refreshing smashed cucumber salad that hits like summer.
Quick, casual, and absolutely craveable.

Best South Indian restaurant chain on the east coast @ammassouthindiancuisine just brought its bold, comforting classics to Mount Laurel, NJ & this new location is a vibe.
Think:
✔️ BYOB
✔️ Lunch buffet
✔️ Halal
✔️ Live dosa station every Wednesday on the patio
✔️ A full banquet room for family & celebrations with a projector!

From crispy dosas to spicy Chettinad curry, to healthier grilled tandoori options this place knows how to bring the heat & hospitality.
Whether you’re in Philly or Jersey, Amma’s is a must.

It’s hard to tell what @ultramarinosmarin is at first glance. The nondescript storefront gives nothing away.

Their signage suggests that it could be a laundromat selling sea-friendly cleaning products. But inside this asador-style eatery in Barcelona, you’ll find a narrow room bisected by an open kitchen on the right, and on the left: a row of tables littered with the kind of metal cafeteria-style chairs you’d find in the sunken atriums of early 90’s American suburban malls.

By nightfall, comely-looking people show up and convince you that this is the right place to dine on a hot Friday, in June. You may find a menage of silver foxes with crisp white shirts, heads buried in platters of botifarra (country sausage) and clams, savoring prawn heads as though from a feeding tube; a solo diner on what seems to be a champagne and anchovy diet; and a sweet young couple bent over a carafe of cava, demolishing the remains of a whole scorpionfish. It’s a riot.

So is the kitchen, where cooks led by Borja Garcia(ex Extebrarri, Dos Pedbrots), the chef, are flipping meats, like clockwork, not minding the flames that dance in the air, nor the haze of smoke that’ll blur your view of the emerald-tiled backsplash, gruffly (and endearingly) plying guests with whatever emerges first from the plancha.

If you manage to flag down your server, order the baby squid before it runs out. Garcia takes fisherman-to-table seriously, which means that the squid that arrives on your table is likely the sweetest mollusk you’ll ever try. The chefs kiss it with heavy char, yet what lies within is clean with a briny undercurrent. It’s spectacular. So, too, are all the gambas — both red and white — the ceps, the vegetables, all presented simply in a shallow pool of its own juices. Yes, the food is purist, sometimes to a fault, but where else could you derive pleasure from toast crowned with a sundae’s worth of bottarga? The salt-cured tuna, pounded thin, suspended in olive oil, displayed like a taxidermist’s fantasy? The whole-roasted skate? They’re all glorious.

Here’s the truth about @nicks_newyorkpub
it doesn’t try to be trendy, and that’s exactly why it works.

It’s not oceanfront, not reinventing bar food, and not worried about aesthetics. Instead, it leans into familiar comfort, with daily food specials, a bar that wraps around the room like a hug, and service that feels like you’ve been coming there for years, even if it’s your first time.

Owned and operated by a family who makes sure regulars feel like family too, this corner bar in North Myrtle Beach offers the kind of laid-back consistency that’s getting harder to find.

There’s something magnetic about @mainstreetbakeryeatery 🥯✨

You won’t find fussy plating or overhyped trends here, just honest, thoughtful food. I stopped in for a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich, served on what might be the softest English muffin I’ve had in years. For $7.25, it’s an unpretentious breakfast that overdelivers in all the right ways.

Five families came in while I waited—some familiar with the location, some newcomers here on their annual family vacation. The register never sat still, but somehow nothing ever felt rushed.

Kim, both the owner and baker, and I talked for a while about the early mornings she spends prepping the day’s baked goods and how this little café has grown since she first opened its doors nearly five years ago.

You’d never guess it’s still relatively new as Main Street Bakery already feels deeply rooted in the community of North Myrtle Beach. Less

📍 Got two strong recs for @sabourestaurant — a new Persian gem tucked into that quirky corner of unincorporated #ForsythCounty with an #Alpharetta mailing address. We were the only ones there for a Tuesday summer lunch, but hey, new spot + midday would explain that

🍲 Tried the Ghalye Mahi — a saffron-herb salmon stew. Salmon was a touch dry, but the stew itself? Flavor bomb. Been deep in my Persian food era lately, and I might need to dig through my notes to recall where I recently had that red lentil soup. This one was simply called “lentin” — spicier than usual and closer to the red lentil style I love.

Wife went with her go-to: chicken kabob. Solid choice. A few minor service hiccups, but nothing deal-breaking.

Not ready to crown it king over #Yalda, #RumisKitchen, or #Chelo just yet… but the potential is real. Definitely worth a return trip. 💯
