The Friday seafood night buffet and breakfast at Market Kitchen, Four Seasons Seoul. Everything we ate, what surprised us, and whether it is worth the price.
Wren & Wolf's $185 Beef Wellington: 16oz prime filet, table-side carving, 72-hour demi-glace. Better than Hell's Kitchen? We think yes.
Latha in Phoenix: tamarind BBQ wings that might be the best restaurant chicken I've had, oxtail mac and cheese, and a $130 bill paid with Chase credits.
InKind app tested at 3 Phoenix spots: 20% cash back vs. 4% on a credit card, $42 vs. $8 on a $211 spend. Plus the Costco gift card hack.
Her Name Is Han in NYC Koreatown: soju cocktails, black sesame tofu, Bulgogi, Bossam, and black sesame ice cream. Plus how we split a $99 bill for free.
NYC food tour hitting the best Malaysian and Korean spots: Nyonya, Kopitiam kaya toast, Sarawak Laksa at Rasa, Hashi Market, and Her Name Is Han.
Uchi Scottsdale: no soy sauce, a $60 eight-course tasting menu, Hama Chili, pork belly with pepper gastrique, and a $100 Amex Resy credit saving hack.
Attaros Thai in Chandler: Halal-friendly Thai Muslim restaurant, Thai Nom Yen pink drink, Golden Garlic chicken, and Rad Nah beef noodles in gravy.
Tambayan Filipino: pork Sinigang, Beef Kaldereta, Crispy Pata with pork-knuckle crunch, and Halo-Halo with ube ice cream. Crispy Pata wins.
One 12-pound Costco chicken pack, five Asian dishes at once, ChatGPT as my chef, and 4 hours in the kitchen. Jjimdak won. Adobo almost broke me.
At My Place Cafe in Arizona: sizzling pork Sisig with egg, Chicken Adobo, Buko Pandan, and a tiny green chili that left me sweating and dizzy.
Making Kaya Toast and Ipoh White Coffee at home: pandan kaya, salty butter, soft-boiled egg dip, and Kopi Peng iced coffee. Vincent approved.
