Обо мне
I started cooking more than 40 years ago when at the age of 8 years young I baked my first apple pie from apples collected and peeled from our land in the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia http://www.visitshenandoah.org/ Over the years I have had the opportunity to dine at thousands of restaurants and celebrate fine and comfort cuisine around the world. It is one of my passions and hobbies. From San Francisco to New Orleans to New York to Miami to Nashville to Phoenix to Jacksonville to Denver and my native Washington, DC it has been a wonderful journey every bite along the way.

Рестораны, которые я рекомендую
- Chenery Park (San Francisco, CA)
- Great food and service. They have a "toddlers night" which we have enjoyed since we have a very active 4 year old
- La Ciccia (San Francisco, CA)
- Nice and cozy place to dine. Not a place for toddlers or kids, but good place for grown ups to enjoy

- Live Sushi (San Francisco, CA)
- Wonderful sushi! We have dined and take out from this excellent sushi. Service at the sushi bar is exceptional and very friendly. We have sushi at least once a week and we will be back often
- Scoma's Sausalito (Sausalito, CA)
- Great views of SF Bay and The City. Good seafood and will see toursit from around the world
- NOLA (Palo Alto, CA)
- A little bit of Mardi Gras in Palo Alto! Great & friendly service and wonderful Cajun fare. (I lived in Louisiana for a decade) One of the best restuarnt settings around for a celebration of food & life!
- Consuelo Mexican Bistro (San Jose, CA)
- Every table I saw had their famous and very yummy guacamole. Ceviche was excellent as well as the Mexican hot cholocate. Setting = 8 (a little chilly in January we eat outside, but heaters did not work; Food = 8+; Service = 5 our server Magda was polite but never saw smile her work was professional but a bit curt. and took long time to finally get our meals, plus computer went down when trying to pay; Overall great experience we have been therefore and will be back soon.
- Tru (Chicago, IL)
- Perhaps one the best dining experiences in 40 years. http://www.trurestaurant.com/welcome.html This is what creative dining is all about from the staircase of sushi to the flawless service. If Tru was a politican they would be heading The White House!
- Joe's Stone Crab (Miami, FL)
- If are going to visit Miami or South Florida you must visit the Mecca for Stone Crabs. The service is vintage 1950s with waiters attentive to your anticipated needs. Only issues is the long wait (hours sometimes) but even that is an adventure in watching others including the "Rich & Famous" cut in the line..lol
- Nick San Sushi (Cabos San Lucas, Mexico)
- Best place for sushi in Cabo San Lucas. We had a remarkable dining adventure at Nick San. Sushi was some of the best we have ever had in US and elsewhere. Only issue was the NBA final were playing in bar area and the ENTIRE staff was watching the Lakers lose.
- Town's End Restaurant (San Francisco, CA)
- Great place for Sunday brunch, but get there before 10 am! Excellent bake goods and breakfast entrees. One of our favorites to hang out and enjoy a lazy afternoon munching on muffins.www.townsend-restaurant.com
- Inkas Per (San Francisco (Mission), CA)
- Best value in SF! Lunch there every day if I could (once had lunch and dinner same day!) Great Pruvian food--roast chicken beats them all and that amazing sauce. I have requested three helpings and put in on everything! The owners as very attentive and we no longer need a menu because they remember what we like!http://www.inkasrestaurant.com/
