SSo far, 2022 hasn’t been the breath of fresh air we needed. Among the big news lines last week was the story of a Turkish farmer who decided to donate cow VR headsets to make them feel like they’re outside in sunny pastures, instead of inside barns.

Fresh beets are tossed with arugula, pickled apples, goat cheese, toasted pecans and citrus vinaigrette. Julien Motola/Digital Odyssey Media A bite of a simple side salad is the first clue that Chef Brad Zeller takes the ingredients he uses very seriously.

PUT THIS BURGER IN PITTSBURGH’S HAMBURGER HALL OF FAME Oa chilly December afternoon, two old buddies were sipping coffee at a window table in the small Oak Hill Post dining room in Brookline, engrossed in a game of euchre. A few tables down, I was delighted by the restaurant’s breakfast sandwich, a stacked biscuit with […]
When someone says a restaurant’s food is better than it should be, that’s only half a compliment. Usually they mean the food isn’t great, but it could be worse than it is and the crowds would keep coming because the place has other advantages, like the location or the view . Lodi, an Italian cafe […]

A quintessential expression of ever-humble Japanese, osomatsu-sama deshita means “it wasn’t a big meal” – often said modestly by a host in response to praise from guests. But modesty aside, Osomatsu Japanese cuisine and bar definitely worth the fuss. Nestled in one of Paya Lebar’s quieter malls, this new face of KINEX gives izakaya food […]
Like most people, I haven’t been out of Ireland since you know what hit the country. I miss wine regions, but I also miss cheap food in foreign cities, from tapas in Spanish bars to sandwiches in Italian cafes, to casual Asian food in cities like Paris and New York. If you miss the latter, […]
Once a starchy affair of white tablecloths and dress codes, Singapore’s food scene has let loose in recent years. A far cry from elegant tunes and an arsenal of silverware, the gastronomy is moving towards a relaxed and lively experience, supported by fun games of flavors. And nowhere is this shift more evident than in […]

Hot and cold meze £9-£18, platters £18-£42, desserts £8-£9, wines from £29 The Instagram accounts I follow, like the jars of gummy condiments I collect in my fridge, are a real mess: chefs showing off what they fattened last night; the carpet-bagging food “influencers” whose brass neck […]
It was a perfect winter day. Cold, but not cold enough to pinch your toes and nose, but bright and sunny. The kind of day that asks you to step away from the fireplace and get some fresh air. Just before the recent holiday season, we decided to take the car for a run in […]
With the celebrations now a distant memory and the tree decorations tucked away in the shed, I kept two rose-shaped garlands of lights inside the house, their faint amber glow offering a touch of festive comfort to those days of darkness and squall. I hate January. I mean, what’s there to love? The stores are […]
An all-day restaurant and bar just on the south side from the Mendota Bridge, The Copperfield has a built-in audience, as it sits on the ground floor of a gleaming new seniors’ housing complex. Honestly this place looks great and what a treat for a community that lacks independent restaurants. No, the food is not […]
Imagine embarking on a taste journey around the world, while sitting with friends or family in Jacksonville Beach as you feast on shared plates of luxurious chicken liver mousse with blueberry agrodolce (sour sauce -sweet), pistachio and white chocolate; or plump pork belly with a rich mole and sesame sauce; and beets with creamy labneh, […]
Ohe is heading towards carmel in Queen’s Park, northwest London, the first week of the new year, I am reminded that January is always a strange time to revise. The whole month lends itself to retreating and recuperating, with rooms closed for weeks and others offering the thinnest hours, sometimes with the radiators turned off […]
It is said that moving is one of the most stressful times of your life. I can definitely tell you after doing it recently, it most certainly is. A change like moving house is extremely exciting, but with that excitement comes the nerve-wracking, emotional ball of anxiety that has settled in the pit of my […]

The Osborne Road venue – formerly the Wave Maiden pub – is run by the Swan family, who also own The Red Lion on the Hill in Southwick, and general manager Fahren Smith. Pirate-themed in every sense of the word, it has the ‘biggest selection of rum in Portsmouth’. And it’s no small feat to […]
It’s the magical time of year when we don’t know what day it is, moms want an easy dinner – which we all know means fish and chips – and going from the beach to the bar is a plan perfectly acceptable for the day. This time next week, however, it’s a different story because […]

After spending the past two decades working, eating and drinking across South Australia’s regional culinary landscape, I’ve learned a thing or two about communities and the people who make and shape them.

Semma’s waiters walk around in black, long-sleeved T-shirts printed with a white logo that says Unapologetic Indian. This is a reference to Food without excuse, the company that manages Semma with Dhamaka and Adda Indian Canteen. It is also the group’s slogan, the wish to offer unpretentious cuisine. With its devious implication that what other […]
