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.
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.
Stockyards Steakhouse: Arizona's oldest since 1947, local K4 Ribeye from Prescott, American Wagyu that melts, and life-changing sautéed mushrooms.
We ate through every serving hour at the Four Seasons KL Club Lounge plus Yun House and Bar Trigona. Here is what is worth it and what to skip.
Jin Jia at Desert Ridge is Phoenix's only Korean-Chinese fusion restaurant: black bean noodles, spicy seafood soup, and prawn toast in an upscale setting.
Roy Choi's Best Friend at Park MGM reviewed: Korean wings, kimchi fried rice, pork belly, and gelato at Eataly. Is the 'Koreatown remix' worth the Vegas price?
Sadelle's at the Bellagio was our favorite spot of the entire Vegas trip: salmon Benedict, fried chicken, and grapefruit crème brûlée. Plus how to skip the 2-hour wait.
Yellowtail at the Bellagio by Akira Back: mixed food, exceptional service (two dishes comped), and a terrace seat facing the Bellagio Fountains for $65.
Momofuku at The Cosmopolitan: the best pork buns we've had, spicy miso ramen, and how we used an Amex Resy credit to keep a $100 Vegas dinner in check.
Cafe Carrera Singapore: a Porsche-branded cafe with car displays, simulators, logo latte art, and $50 USD for two. Worth the stop.
Wicked Spoon at The Cosmopolitan on Christmas Day: king crab, fried chicken, angry mac and cheese, and a massive dessert station. Honest take on whether $72 is worth it.
STK at The Cosmopolitan on Christmas Eve: a 34-oz shared steak, hash browns with jalapeño cream, and a $170 bill cut to $70 with resort credit. Honest review.
We tried all 16 sodas on the Coca-Cola Store's Around the World flight in Las Vegas: the Thailand Fanta won, Beverly was exactly as alarming as promised, and M&M's World had bulk candy for $10.
Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill at Caesars Palace: the Idiot Sandwich with short rib is the move, the sticky toffee pudding is unmissable, and the burger needs work.
Three Thirty Three in Tempe opened December 2024: Wagyu tacos, braised pork belly, DIY handrolls, and the largest LED screen in the US. High-priced but unforgettable.
