Follow Me Foodie to a recap of the American Express “Taste from Platinum” dinner at Hawksworth Restaurant!

By

I often take food over ambiance, but when it comes to events, I go with a different mind-set. After all it’s an event, not just a dinner. I look forward to meeting new people, making new friends, enjoying the company I’m with, and of course eating some good food. I always want good food. Who doesn’t?

PiDGiN Restaurant – Prix Fixe Menu – Gastown, Vancouver, BC

By

PiDGiN is not an Asian restaurant, but it is certainly Asian inspired. Most courses were very good and I have faith in the team. It just lacked the minor, but noticeable details and finesse of a polished dish and I’m not comparing it to fine dining.

Follow Me Foodie to New York: Restaurants, bars, food & drinks worth flying for!

By

This list will continue to grow for sure. It’s New York, arguably “the best” food city in North America. I really dislike “best of” lists and I think “the best food city” is dependent on what kind of food you want, but generally many would agree that New York has it all – and they do.
