I tried the bowl of champions, Yellowfin tuna, Atlantic salmon and Galician prawns over cold sushi rice. It was so fresh and tasted amazing. I also ordered a side of prawn gyozas which were pretty good to.

I’ve followed Waleed Ogbah since he first started a pop-up in the same building as The Vancouver Sun, serving Yemenese food on weekends, in a coffee shop that operated only on weekdays. That was in 2017.
Since then, he’s grown Saba Foods, into a flourishing restaurant. It had moved around few times before settling in South Granville, in the elegant former West restaurant location. The stars of the menu have always been the lamb and chicken haneeth, slow braised and succulent. But he’s added another — the tomahawk steak. “If you asked for a knife, it means we didn’t do a good job,” he said of the haneeth when I first interviewed him.
The other Saba strength is the warm hospitality, filtering down from Ogbah. Less

St. Patrick Day is soon upon us and while Ireland is on your mind, let me tell you of a lunch I had this week with Ireland’s minister of state for agriculture, food, and marine, the Irish consul general in Vancouver and an organization they wish to support and promote. And once I learned of it, I do too. Good Food Ireland, founded by Margaret Jeffares, a farmer 20 years ago, promotes Irish farmers, fishers, artisans, chefs and works to change the perception of Irish food, which has always been local, sustainable, and artisanal thanks to a land of small, local producers.
And now they have launched a website connecting you to experiences, curated by Good Food Ireland, with these producers and creators when you travel to Ireland and you can book the tours, cooking classes, tastings through https://goodfoodirelandexperiences.com.
They include afternoon teas, tours and tastings at distilleries, cheesemakers, beekeeping facilities, oyster farms, chocolate makers, and Irish soda bread classes. Longer tours include three-days of visiting distilleries, including Jameson, and the one I would certainly join, a private tour of the famous Ballymaloe Cookery School Gardens and Organic Farm in Cork.

Pastrami brisket is back on at Cattleack this week, and beef cheeks with lime chimichurri on Friday. In case you needed a little PSA. I don't post here much anymore. Every time I resolve to get back to it, the platform annoys me some more. No, I don't need to add a song to my picture of barbecue. No, I don't want to reach more people, necessarily. Anyway. That's some seriously hot mustard they're serving! Less

Discovering Ephesus Turkish Kitchen: A Culinary Adventure in Alpharetta
If you’re seeking a delightful dive into Mediterranean, Persian, or Middle Eastern cuisine, @ephesusturkishkitchen on Windward Parkway is the place to explore. This location, previously home to World Famous Billy Allen's Brass Tap franchise and Velvet Elvis, now offers a unique taste of Turkish fare right in Alpharetta.

A Vegetarian's Delight
As a carnivore who loves vegetarian dishes from this region, I found the Bergama beet salad to be a standout. With its combination of cabbage, pickles, garlic, and olive oil, this salad offers a satisfying blend of flavors without being overly pickly. Have you ever tried beet salad before? What are your thoughts on its unique taste?

Bosnian Dumplings: A Cultural Experience
The Bosnian dumplings, featuring ground beef in a yogurt and tomato butter sauce, present a delightful experience. Notably, the dough is thicker than those found in other cuisines. And here's a tip: these dumplings are traditionally served warm rather than hot in the yogurt.

Lamb Saute: Simple Yet Satisfying
For those who appreciate classic flavors, the lamb sauté at Ephesus is a solid choice. It may be basic, but it delivers on taste and quality. For fellow food enthusiasts, how do you feel about the simplicity of traditional dishes?

A New Era for Turkish Cuisine in Atlanta
Reflecting on the past, there was a time when Turkish restaurants were a rarity in the metro area, limited to just two spots in Decatur and Marietta Square. Now, we’re fortunate to have several options nearby in AlphaRozCreek. This evolution reminds me of when John Kessler dubbed us “Bloomin’ Onion Acres,” a label we’ve certainly outgrown.

My birthday getaway to NYC was made special by so many events, chiefly lunches at the beguiling Borgo and Four Horseman; dinners at The Dutch and 425, the latest attraction from Jean-George Vongerichten; drinks at Commerce Inn in the West Village; and getting spit on by Jonathan Groff, the toast of Broadway and the star of “Just in Time.” Looking for a pre-show snack? Pure Thai Cookhouse on 9th is where you want to land. #newyorkeats Less

The real star of the show is getting zero hype and I need to set the record straight -> swipe to find out

As usual this is an unsponsored, unannounced, self-funded, brutally honest food review. This place has upscale vibes but it’s actually casual and chill. American-Chinese with fusion into other cuisines, which makes the menu have fun creations that are not anywhere else.
