I’ll admit, when I heard that the Michelin Guide was giving a Mexico City taqueria a Michelin star for the first time, I was intrigued and also a little miffed. There are so many deserving taqueros in the world, how is this the one place that got it? It’s obviously a symbolic move that signals a cultural moment for Mexican cuisine. But also, the taqueria did look undeniably great so I couldn’t be too mad about it.

Anyway this noteworthy establishment @califadeleon is having a pop-up at @tacombi right now. So I rushed over to the Westbury location to try it. Damn, this truly is good stuff. And so different from the maximalist tacos I also love. Read my thoughts at the link in my bio. And eat some Mexican food!

@morena.melbourne really is unlike anything I’ve tried in Melbourne. Bravo @chefalejandrosaravia for bringing a taste of Latin America to the city is uniquely delicious, snackable yet fancy ways. The braised ollucos (or potato three-way), coral trout tiradito, ebi prawn doughnut, venison tart and flan dessert are my picks. Read the full review in Kitchen Conf today or via heraldsun.com.au

Reif would only do unconventional, and his omakase at The Experience By Reif Othman is precisely that.

Tucked inside the superb Reif Kushiyaki in Dubai Hills is this smaller, limited seater omakase restaurant where the menu changes every two months. I mention this because even this menu is for a limited time.

Fresh from a stretch in Copenhagen cooking with Kristian Baumann for the Mapo pop up, Reif returns to cooking Nordic seafood with a Korean twist. So this TERO experience is also a bit @hlkbyreif, you could say.

Some omakase experiences are servants to tradition. Meditative quietness. Pale woods and a bar counter with only a sushi chef for company. Maybe even only sushi or a miso soup among the incoming mystery courses.

The arcade themed waiting room behind Kushiyaki’s kitchen is vivid and intimate. The doors retract to reveal a red room with Guns and Roses, 2Pac, Metallica and Green Day over the speaker.

It’s far from traditional.

This is often why I recommend TERO to those omakase-curious or people looking for Japanese, special occasion worthy but not stuffy. A place for an easy-going night out for bowls of tasty things with music that us elder millennials remember fondly.

Two seatings per night are available Wednesday to Sunday. Ten courses for 888 dirhams.

Pictured are some of my favourite courses of this Nordic season at TERO:

1️⃣ Maitake mushroom with stracciatella and truffle

2️⃣ Tapchae noodles with shellfish cream, caviar and king crab

3️⃣ Stawberries spiked with gochugaru and pink peppercorns

A special mention to this mouth-cleansing Blanc de Blanc from @champagnefrerejeanfreres 🥂

Thank you @reifo.kee as always for this very kind invite 🙇🏽‍♂️
A brilliant job by the @terobyreif team and special mention to @freckledphase 🍾

My breakfast sandwich obsession continues, this time via the new @blackduckmpls brunch menu. This bliss-inducing iteration evolved during chef/owner Jason Sawicki’s days of cooking in his pre-Black Duck food truck, @faregamene. Long story short: He had hired a transplanted New Yorker to help him out, and she often talked about how much she missed the bacon-egg-and-cheese sandwiches that were an a.m. staple at her neighborhood bodega. In Sawicki’s version, all of the necessary components from that classic NYC framework are present and accounted for, and selected with obvious discernment. The bread, a toasted focaccia, is terrific, which comes as no surprise, as its baked by the skilled folks from @patisserie46. The dreamy and decadent bacon hails from @petersoncraftmeats. A special shout-out to the egg soufflé, notable for its impressive height, airy texture and richly eggy flavor; too many egg sandwiches that go the soufflé route register “vacuous” on the taste buds, but not this one. Kudos also to the prodigious amount of American cheese, so gooey that it almost comes off as a sauce. And yes, there’s a sauce, a souped-up mayonnaise. The whole shebang has a @neimanmarcus-goes-Northeast aura until you get to the @kohls-like price tag: $10. The only possible downside is its limited availability: Saturday and Sunday, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. (Another absolute brunch must are the pancakes, fashioned from an extraordinary heirloom blue corn flour that Sawicki sources from @farmandsparrow in North Carolina. They’re four bucks a pop, and, truly, they’re not to be missed). #breakfastsandwich #breakfastsandwiches #eggsandwich #baconeggandcheese #focaccia #bacon #northeastmpls #nempls #brunch #weekendbrunch #obsession.

my new neighbor? a grungy, hip-hopy, no-frills slice joint that serves 4 NY-style options: marg, salami, triple cheese, and garlic mushroom - all for about $8 each. I literally could not have asked for a better spot to move in next door @badhabitsprovision. the cherry on top? they serve their slices on paper plates, just like they do in NY 🤎🗽

they’ve got a wood-fired oven, and the crust has a nice char to it. some days it’s a lil more crispy than foldable, but I’m good with it either way. they have a few sides on the menu too - fried chicken (it’s amazing, you have to order it) poutine (a bit too OTT for me, would skip), and meatballs (haven’t had em yet but the hubby said they’re bomb). they sometimes have a vegan slice option too - I tried the vegan kale & mushroom… and wow I actually really enjoyed it!

there’s minimal seating indoors but they’ve got a lil curbside outdoor space going on which gets pretty poppin. would say this is the perfect place to stop at on your way home to continue the party (it’s open until midnight & they serve booze too) or an afternoon snack if you’re in the hood like me 😉 Less
