Thai-style remora , anyone?

No, it isn’t on the menu, nor is it a special.

But when I was visiting @nolatuktuk recently, I was there between shifts, and this came out as the staff meal.

It was bycatch from a charter fishing trip the chefs and their staff took. This hitchhiker came along for the ride and ended up in the pot.

Good texture, very eel like, though the prime attribute was what a Thai kitchen can do with just about anything.

If you want to see some of the wonders of pork belly, stuffed chicken wings and noodles that actually are on this menu, see my earlier post.

Or better yet get the full story via the link in my bio, and thank you @nolanews subscribers.

🍕 CHECK OUT @getcharlies 🤤

A new pizza spot in #Belfast that you gotta check out. On our recent visit, we made a beeline for it as our first stop and boy oh boy @piguypizza’s new adventure did not disappoint at all!

🍳 Serving Brunch in #Belfast is @neighbourhood.cafe ☕️

A firm favourite of ours and a regular stop for us whenever we visit the city, this is the first time we’ve had an opportunity to visit their forever home in the Cathedral Quarter. After a devastating fire and a relocation to Commercial Court, this is the destination for excellent coffee, great pastries and some truly creative and unique brunch dishes.

Plus it’s #dogfriendly - @hammyfrenchie was busy charming everyone as we ate 🐾

🇯🇵 This week’s ST review: @matsu_kildare, an izakaya and ramen restaurant that has found its new home in the most unlikeliest of settings: @stkevinsgaa @saints_bar_and_food_ in Kildare 🍜

We write “Ken Komatsu’s two-page menu tells two different tales. The left side is more traditional and Japanese, anchored by eight different styles of ramen alongside side dishes like karaage chicken and rice bowls. The right side is more pub-grub with a pan-Asian accent — think teriyaki chicken wings, spice bags, loaded fries, chicken katsu curry and stir-fried noodle dishes.”

We continue, “While the food is really tasty, the flavour that lingers on our palate is one of potential. Not just for Matsu, which has a bright and delicious future here, but for the industry in general. Just last week a Drinks Industry Group of Ireland report remarked that Ireland has seen more than 2,000 pubs close (nearly 25 per cent of the industry) over the last 20 years — an average rate of 112 closures a year.

St Kevin’s GAA club offers the ideal blueprint. Across Ireland, many pubs have kitchens going stale, while community spaces like GAA or rugby clubs could make room for start-up food operations like this — drawing in a wider audience or even an entirely new clientele. This model could be especially valuable for immigrants, who may struggle to break into the business, to build a restaurant from scratch, allowing them to share space, even part-time, and showcase incredible international cuisines that could tempt the Irish palate.“

Cheese-extreme khachapuris and lahmajo (aka lahm bi ajeen) are the obvious draws at @tunlahmajo.usa in Burbank. But over the months since the restaurant opened, the menu has expanded to include salads, roasted meats, a range of soups, and herbed stews. Los Angeles already has a lot of Armenian restaurants that excel at one specialty (see: @mini_kabob and @zhengyalov_hatz_glendale) but fewer places delve into a broader mix of Armenian homestyle dishes as Tun Lahmajo does. Lots to love here; warm weather calls for the brothy, herby fish stew (shown in the last video in the carousel).

@nyc_halal_eats now opened in Niles and is my new fav spot to eat, serves newyork street style halal platters, burgers, phillies and fries.

📍8624 W Golf Rd, Niles, IL 60714

My favorites-
Philly cheese steak sandwich
Sea food platter
Mixed platter
Salito fries

Their signature sauces were too good and the food is loaded with meat and sauces and with generous portion sizes.

Inspired by @34neworleans back home in New Orleans, I’ve been on a Portuguese food romp up here in New England.

Most things in New England are pretty close, but then you have places that feel like a different country.

That’s Fall River, built on a beautiful waterfront with majestic churches, hard scrabble streets, and very warm hospitality for these curious travelers.

Fall River feels like a portal back to Portugal, and an outpost for the Azores in particular.

This place is classic Azorean Fall River — Tabacaria Acoriana, @tabacaria_acoreana , where everyone but us converses and transacts business in Portuguese.

Decoding the cacoula brought tender shredded pork with paprika and garlic

Then thick grilled octopus legs

And a platter of stickleback chicharros (tiny fried fish, to eat whole, eyes to tall)

With bargain alvarinho to wash it down
