My one spot in Phoenix… beef tenderloin tacos to die for, and if you care for a little adult refreshment, pair those tacos with a fresh prickly pear margarita. YUM
Cocina Madrigal
This colorful little hole in the wall serves up a feast and a half. They couldn’t skimp on portions if they tried. Walking into the place, it smells so good one expects nothing but abuelitas running the kitchen. Salsa bar has great variety, the aguas...
Burritos Victoria
I left my heart at Village Inn last year in late July. I think it’s still there. The key lime pie can make you cry, it’s so good. Actually, this is the very first place I’ve ever been that makes pies that look better in person than in the pics on the...
Village Inn
Sandwiches so enormous and bountiful, filled with ridiculous things like sirloin and sprouts, everything way too spicy for this gringa but so good I didn’t care. Get a few and keep in the fridge because you’ll want more than one, I guarantee.
Eat ChaOS
My favorite day trip when I’m in Honolulu. Rent a convertible, grab my local pals, and take a drive up to the North Shore of Paradise. Make sure and ask for extra wet wipes and bring a bib. Best. scampi. Ever. Oh, but you must LOVE garlic.
Giovanni's Shrimp Truck
Styled lovingly after San Francisco’s Cafe Trieste, Kings Road Cafe is an institution unto itself in Los Angeles. Opened in 1990, it has supplied Los Angeles with her best coffee, roasted on the grounds, (pun intended,) and home of some of the best b...
Kings Road Cafe
Best burger in Las Cruces, New Mexico. I got mine piled high with sautéed mushrooms, grilled onions and tons of sticky sweet bbq sauce. Great fries, too!
Dick's Cafe
A beautiful space for gorgeous food, friendly atmosphere, excellent service.
Indulgence Bakery & Cafe
Cheating a little here. Not a restaurant but plenty to eat! The best farmers market in the nation, especially if you love chilies, pecans, and ranch fresh meat. Plenty to see, food trucks, coffee, dogs of all shapes and sizes!
Las Cruces Farmer's & Crafts Market | Locally Grown & Made Products
Coffee, pastries, pizza, wine, and nary an animal product in sight. Plenty of seating.
Grounded
Their chicken shawarma is enough to keep you coming back, but then there’s the hummus and pita and feta, the lamb gyros, and ice cold Mexican coke in a frosty glass bottle. Make sure and cruise the aisles of their market for delicacies like pomegrana...
King Grill
Scrumptious breakfast you can’t get just anywhere. Whether Bananas Foster French Toast or Eggs Benedict, you can’t go wrong here.
Welcome to A Bite of Belgium | Las Cruces' Unique Dining Experience
Best sushi I’ve ever had, and that includes Matsuhisa in Beverly Hills. Yanagi’s food is effortlessly delicious and fresh. The chefs could make the most complicated dishes in their sleep, but don’t worry, they’re wide awake and turning out the best!
Yanagi Sushi
Any time I visit Los Angeles, I always make sure to stop in for a triple scoop of my favorite flavors… like Darkest Chocolate, Summer Berries and Passion Fruit, Campfire S’mores… hard to stop once you get going.
Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams
Some seasonal flavors… Halloween for example:
Creepy Crawly Critters: Matcha ice cream with zesty orange, loaded with chocolate-covered crickets and toffee-brittle mealworms.
Jack O' Lantern Pumpkin Bread: Spiced pumpkin ice cream mixed with pieces ...
Salt & Straw
The freshest fish souvlaki, even on Sundays. Chill atmosphere, and treats like the signature mussel dish, the Mussel Ceviche. It is a popular, highly rated appetizer featuring half a dozen green-lipped New Zealand mussels served cold in a tangy, hous...
Olive Tree Cafe
Big fluffy pancakes that make you wonder how they do it. Mouth watering malasadas, loco moco, oxtail soup, macadamia nut waffles… I’m stuffed just writing this! A Honolulu must-eat.
Liliha Bakery
In 2002, I moved to NYC. I needed a change.
My first day after having moved in to my tiny apartment in Brooklyn, I headed back out to the city. It was mid November and chilly, so as I happened to be passing an elegant storefront wherein a beautiful s...
Petrossian Caviar NYC
My absolute go to for the best dim sum ever.
Tons of mushrooms, veggies, meats, seafood, all fresh, all steaming, all scrumptious!
Dim Sum Go Go
After you've stuffed yourself with delicious dim sum, walk it off on your way to the best ice cream in the city!
