It’s not often that you encounter someone so passionate about what they do to the point of perfection. Sharing the same values and also being a self taught chef, Yuji instantly made a connection with us. We mentioned how no food should be wasted, you should taste every ingredient that is mentioned on a menu, and how we hated that tasting menus got progressively heavier as the meal progressed. We also stated that we hate when we go to popups or supper clubs and you either: leave hungry, feel ripped off, or the food is cold with a makeshift kitchen. He happily obliged on all points.

It was such a pleasure to cook for a repeat guest and her party of a dozen beautiful women. The menu was left to our capable hands and everyone left happy. This dinner was lighter and safer than our liking, but that was intentional. The ladies needed room in their tummies to go boogie the night away afterwards

Indulgence over the festive period is always on everyone’s agenda. It’s the one time you’re allowed to kick back and have a lot of what you fancy, with no consequences of your excesses, right?
Not exactly. Your body doesn’t have an internal clock which shouts ‘hey it’s Christmas, so now is the time to deal with fat and sugar in exactly the same way you would vegetables and salad!’ You may relax mentally, which is no bad thing this time of year, and the certain consequences of overeating, drinking and partying on your body may mean you’re happy to deal with them at a later date.
After the high comes the comedown, and the new year is a perfect time to grab the opportunities which may come your way in this fresh chapter. Making sure your steer clear of what may have made the last year a difficult one – be it drink, drugs, overworking or overeating – and starting anew, getting the right treatment as well as giving your body the chance to recover, will give your mental health a break it needs too.
So here are some handy hints on what to do once you’ve finished having all that fun and feel it’s time for that detox:

It’s been too long since the last party. Long time no see. Let’s catch up with good beats and great company. Make new friends, reacquaint with old ones, go gangnam style or be a wallflower. It’s up to you, my lovelies. Just know that these parties are infamous for inadvertently hooking singles up. You know who you are.
It’s BYOB. A bottle of liquor gets you in. Into who or what, that’s up to you. Please leave the farm animals at home.
Drink responsibly. Or not, it’s your liver. Who cares, it’s the weekend.
See ya’ll there!
UPDATE: What a blast cooking. 5 courses for $25 was the steal of the century. BYOB too! PICS HERE
For those who missed out, we’ll be resuming our Supper Club Dinners soon.
October theme TBD, but always a diaper dandy!
P.S. A lil birdie told me there may be a private loft party soon in October as well, so stay tuned for details!

Replacing Todd English’s former CrossBar space at the Limelight Marketplace, he is back at it again with Chateau NYC, a French restaurant with dishes that are sure to please. Fortunate enough to get a first taste of the menu, we were excited to see what this was all about. We were especially fond of the dish above, a perfect dish for the Summer season. Check out the album here and see for yourself if the trip is worthwhile.

Chef Danny Bowien is quickly rising amongst the transplant Chef world, making his presence known with tons of media coverage. We picked up an issue of Bon Appetit to check out the latest ongoings in the food world. Low and behold, there’s Danny again headlining the magazine with Andrew Knowlton reflecting on their recent trip to eating up Chengdu. They even have a book out publishing their recipes. With much fanfare surrounding the opening, we wanted to satiate our need to know why the SF mainstay is much heralded…. Continue reading

After numerous recommendations by friends, we finally caved and paid them a visit… Continue reading
