Brooklyn Star

You know, last year was the birthday of Michelin stars, but this year I wanted to make it the birthday of fried chicken.  I REALLY like fried chicken.  Hungry asked me to give her a list of places I’d like to celebrate my birthday, so I picked a bunch of fried chicken focused meals, and eventually the list was culled down to Brooklyn Star, where for $20/person, they were offering fried chicken dinners.  Hello, lovely!  I made my darling KC go to Brooklyn Though we didn’t really need the menu, Hungry and I looked it over while we waited for [...]

Brindle Room

As much as I hate to say someone else is right, well, Noah was right.  The Brindle Room burger is really good.  I’ve been there quite a few times and have enjoyed it each and every time, so it’s not a fluke that I love it.  I recommend it via Twitter quite a lot, too, and I’ve yet to have someone come back and tell me it was bad.  AND it’s now available for dinner as well as lunch, making it more accessible for me to bring people to eat there… which brings us to this post.  I wanted to [...]

Sunrise Biscuits of Oxford

My trip was over, but I had one more stop to make on my way out of the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area (this is about an hour outside of Raleigh).  Sunrise Biscuits, where I heard the biscuits were fluffy, fresh, and the chicken divine… how do you not want to stop there?  Love the old school look of the place.  If you look really closely – that’s Blue Thunder on the left side of the pic – you will see the ever curious Keywee who wants to know what I’m doing.  My order was quickly taken, and took a few minutes [...]

Tuesdays with TT: Perry St.

Recently, CT & I celebrated our two year anniversary. As such we had to find a nice restaurant to celebrate the occasion. We have found that Jean Georges does a fine job with his various restaurants to celebrate a variety of occasions whether it be CT’s Birthday or even Restaurant Week. We have heard some good things about Perry St. and decided to check out this restaurant in the far, far West Village. Jean Georges’ son is actually the chef de cuisine of the restaurant. I guess the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree? The restaurant is located in [...]

Bojangle’s Famous Chicken-n-Biscuits

As I mentioned, during my trip to Raleigh, I was trying to hit all the places in the south that I just don’t have access to in the north.  Bojangles falls squarely in that category – I’m not sure they ever had any locations in the north but I wouldn’t even know – as I’ve heard over the years about Bojangles.  I finally got a chance to try it early Saturday morning… As it was breakfast time, I didn’t think it would be appropriate for me to order fried chicken.  Sure, I have a friend who claims to have frequently [...]
