I’m from California, why would I have Mexican fo I’m from California, why would I have Mexican food in NEW YORK CITY. Carnitas Ramirez in LES right off Clinton, that’s why. Homemade corn tortillas, pickled onions and your choice of a mild green salsa or spicy red. Yeah, I used the green salsa, don’t judge me! The star is the pork cooked traditionally, the entire pig is cooked, head to tail. I chose pork belly, carnitas and lengua. So good, moist, flavorful each with a different texture. Yum. Casual, tables outside and a counter on the front wall facing in. Service is quick and friendly. Tacos are priced NYC scale 5 bucks a taco, still a deal! When I need a taco fix in NYC, this is where I am headed! #taqueriaramireznyc #tacos #allthingspork #carnitas #3jamigos #lowereastsidenyc #nyceats #traveltoeat
One of our favorite places in LES, Kisa, inspired One of our favorite places in LES, Kisa, inspired by Taxi diners commonly found in Korea. Lunch on weekends is a choice between Pork Rib Soup or Donkkaseu (pork cutlet). Dinner is the real deal. Choose from Bulgogi, bibimbap, spicy pork* or Squid entrees which come with an amazing array of Banchan. Get there early or be prepared to wait! #lowereastside #koreanfood #banchan #kisa #nyceats

So, doing a lot of stress baking and comfort food So, doing a lot of stress baking and comfort food cooking? I am. Kristina Cho’s Cincinnati Chili Udon hits the spot. It’s just what we need right now. As soon as I added the cinnamon, cumin, and Harissa the aroma that filled my kitchen was amazing! I love the addition of an egg yolk adds that creamy factor to the sauce. After my official taster gave me the thumbs up, I curled up on my couch bowl in hand, and turned on my latest fav C-drama…just what I needed. this recipe is from her newsletter. I'm super excited to start cooking from her new book, Chinese Enough! #comfortfood #bowlfoodissoulfood #foodstagram #Double #eatchofood #bowlfood #cincinattichili #udon #3jamigos Notes on the recipe now on 3jamigos.com
This is one of my favorite meals and we make it of This is one of my favorite meals and we make it often, Crying Tiger Beef. It’s actually all about the sauce. Marinade beef, which could be flank steak or special occasion Ribeye, in soy sauce and fish or oyster sauce. As it marinates, make the sauce. This time I made the tamarind sauce version. Damn it’s good. Tart, spicy, from tamarind, chili flakes, fish sauce…the very definition of umami. Tamarind paste can be found in Asian markets. Threw the flank steak on the grill , stir fried some bok choy, dinner in no time flat.

Fall is definitely in the air! I spent the day mak Fall is definitely in the air! I spent the day making Curry Chicken with rice and an apple pie. Comfort food to take my mind off the election. As much as I like cooking from scratch, I do “cheat” when it comes to curries. This curry chicken is made easy with curry paste blocks found in Japanese stores and most Asian Grocers. Serve over hot rice with Fukujinzuke, Japanese pickles. I like using bone-in chicken pieces so it takes a little longer. Dinner on the table in about an hour! Some of my favorite, user-friendly cookbooks for downhome Japanese food.

Coast to coast I love seeing the next gen coming b Coast to coast I love seeing the next gen coming back and opening businesses in Chinatown. From bookstores to restaurants, like @fourkings__ or @misterjius in SF or @yuandmebooks in NYC, they are breathing new life into our community. Every time we are in NYC we hit up @potluckclubny for creative cocktails and delicious food. Ya gotta get their dumplings, rice noodle roll chow fun, and Fried chicken and Chive Biscuits. I’m convinced they have a Southern A-Pau in the kitchen. I love their homage to HK cinema too. #3jamigos #cantonesefood #chinatownnyc #nextgeneration #eeeeats #potluckclubnyc

Book signing for @eatchofood latest book, Chinese Book signing for @eatchofood latest book, Chinese Enough at @farmtopeople in Brooklyn was delightful! We sampled a trio of recipes from the book and I’ll be making all of them soon! The Miso Pork Balls were delicious but my favorite was the Deviled Eggs with crispy bread crumbs and pork floss. Much to Jamie’s embarrassment, I was fangirling meeting all of these amazing women. @hettymckinnon whose mom is from the same area in China as mine @sohlae say no to Momofuku😉 and @nom_life whose IG serves as my bucket list bible of places to visit & eat at. I forgot to take a pic with @thepancakeprincess baker/tester extraordinaire who will test multiple recipes to find the perfect brownie, ccc, pumpkin bread so you don’t have to, and finally @eatchofood congratulations! #3jamigos #nyceats #brooklyn #farmtopeople #booksigning #toasiawithlovecookbook love#meilaiwah #foodstagram #chinesefood

Dinner at Mari.ne is casual and close to the theaters, we had the 5 handroll set, the Spicy tuna handroll was the standout. I’d opt for picking 3 handrolls and ordering their sides, the Mandu and rice noodles in soup are delicious. Go see Hell’s Kitchen!!!!

They also have a nice selection of starters and donburi bowls, like KATSUDON, for those who don’t feel like noodles. Sister joints in SOHO & Midtown. #foodstagram #udon #3jamigos #damnthatsdelish #bowlfoodissoulfood #rakunyc

Portland Part 1 Spent a couple of days in Portland Portland Part 1 Spent a couple of days in Portland before heading to Black Butte for a wedding. Although Portland’s downtown looks like it is still struggling post-Covid we found some gems. Had to stop at Powells Bookstore (so many books,so little time) and it is still Food Cart Mecca, midtown Beer Garden has some great carts including Tokyo Sando for Katsu Sammies, Bing Mi for jiang bing, think Taiwanese wraps, and hand-pulled noods at Stretch the Noodle. Nice vibe for lunch. Found two great restaurants, Queen Mama Kitchen in Downtown, amazing Mediterranean food from a Saudi Arabian family. Mezza platter and any lamb dish 😍 and finish with their cheesecake, a little further out Xiao Ye (midnight snack in Chinese), great atmosphere, good food with an Asian twist. My favs include the Salted Egg Shrimp,, Roast Chicken with Rice and pickles, Hamachi and Perilla Yum! Multiple visits to Blue Star for fab donuts, I love the OG Buttermilk, Raspberry Rosemary, and Brioche donuts! ❤️ Portland Japanese Garden and don't forget to check the art installations at Portland Airport #jacobhashimoto
Blueberry Cornmeal Tart from Alison Roman’s Swe Blueberry Cornmeal Tart from Alison Roman’s Sweet Enough. Sweet ripe blueberries are the star in this simple, delicious tart. No rolling involved, the dough makes both the press-in tart crust and the crumble on top. Cornmeal adds wonderful texture. I love using @tierra_vegetables (a local farm in Santa Rosa), heirloom cornmeal which I pick up at the Ferry Building Farmers Market. My fav is their Hopi Pink. Before blueberry season is over make this tart!
