World’s Strangest Looking Tandoori Chicken at Bangkok’s Gaggan Green eggs and ham I know… But green tandoori chicken with suspicious foam? DE-LICIOUS! Some yummy varieties of tandoori are marinated in green herbs, yogurt, and spices but rarely do you see the dish presented this way.

Peek into this crock-pot, see anything you want? This beef brisket has been bubbling for hours and it’s time to slice it up and put it on my sandwich! If you’re not familiar with a French dip sandwich, it’s basically a sammy served ‘au jus‘ or with the juice from the meat. Meaning they ALSO [...]

Ever used TripAdvisor (TA) to find a restaurant? Perhaps you use it religiously or if you’re skeptic like me, you avoid drawing ANY conclusions about a restaurant solely based on their TA rating.

I’d had it before a few times in Hawaii, and a number of times I made Japanese golden curry from a box mix (which by the way is pretty tasty too) during university. It’s not a pungently strong [...]
