Citi Field – Keith’s Grill

As I mentioned last time, I’ve eaten most of the food at the park that I deem interesting.  However, new things do pop up from time to time, and since I’ve been hearing about Keith’s Grill – named after Keith Hernandez – said to offer burgers the way Keith himself likes them – I knew what I had to do.   So one gorgeous afternoon when the Mets were playing the Angels  - these are not my normal seats, no, my darling mother-in-law’s friend offered BF and I tickets to these seats, and I took this picture to show how close I [...]

Corner Burger

I found myself in Brooklyn for food again recently – apparently, the way to get me to go to Brooklyn is proffer a Groupon; so Corner Burger was the destination. The lure? POUTINE.  TWELVE DIFFERENT WAYS. My dining companion ordered a burger topped with pickled jalapenos, roasted red peppers, chipotle sauce and pepperjack cheese. But to start, we went with fried pickles. Piping hot when they arrived, once they’d cooled down a bit, had a great crunch to them. The breading was a little weak, but I found these pleasant enough to munch on and dip in the accompanying ranch [...]

Brindle Room

You may or may not have heard that I’m on a Restaurant Hiatus – that’s right, for all of July & August 2011, I won’t be eating at restaurants.  The finer details are very much an “I’ll know it when I see it” type of thing, like Congress & porn, but ice cream for sure is totally allowed.  I’ve got lots of posts in the bank to last y’all through (and I intend to post more about what I eat at home) and when I come out the other side, hopefully, I’ll be posting near-”real”-time, or closer than I am used [...]

Brindle Room

You know when you first meet someone, and they tell you that you have to eat xx item because it’s so good?  If you’re anything like me, you smile and nod politely, file the information away… but you aren’t entirely sure you should trust their taste just yet because, after all, you JUST met them.  I don’t know if a person has the same taste as me – and it’s not that I think that person is wrong, I just don’t know if we agree on food.  I have a few friends whose tastes just don’t jibe with mine, and [...]

Burger Shoppe

One rather warm Friday afternoon, I made my way down to my old stompin’ grounds – across the street from where I used to work – and met up with my buddy, Cookie, for lunch… at Burger Shoppe.  I’ve been many times since they first opened (and I thought I’d posted about it more than once, but apparently not!), but right before I left, they released the mac&cheese burger… which, unfortunately, was only available after 4pm and I went during lunch to check it out.  Boo.  Since then, though, they put it on their regular menu, so this time, I [...]
