HI! So.... now summer is actually over. For the next 5 years, Red Braised Twinkie will be based in LA! To be clear, I still don't know how to drive, but I don't need to.

I'm back after a bit of a break and..... okay that's it. I just took a break. I did apply to speak at a conference and register for classes, but other than that, I've been potatoeing on youtube. I figured I could at least get creative in the kitchen. And... since mum is the only … Continue reading … If you give me an eel……

More Front Street eats! The plan was to go to Star Noodle. No seats available... Sal and Pepe? Nope. I was about to give up and head back to Paia, but little bro pointed out Down the Hatch. I initially dismissed it as a bar, but looks are deceiving. A quick search turned up a … Continue reading Maui Eats pt. 3: Down the Hatch

Hi! We are... HALFWAY through the Cambridge restaurant rush! Time really does fly. This post is a bit different. A couple of friends invited me to a local brewery two weeks ago. I don't drink, but the place seemed cool. Turns out, it's a great place and I HAD to write about it.... unfortunately.... I … Continue reading CRR Week 7: Lamplighter Brewing Co.
The Cambridge Restaurant Rush continues. I spent last weekend with some new friends and wasn't able to get good info (future post coming... 😉 ). I'd been eying Little Donkey since week 1.
