WORLD FARE: Fine dining Mexican in the East Village

I cannot definitively rule out the possibility that somewhere, on some street corner in San Diego, there are tacos as good as the ones Andrew Bent is serving. I also can’t rule out the technical possibility I’ll win the lottery today, but I certainly wouldn’t want to bet on it. … [Read more...]

WORLD FARE — Gyu-Kaku: a Korean import by way of Japan

WORLD FARE: Carnitas Snack Shack is not what it seems

When my father's family ate pork when he was a kid, his dad, who'd been raised kosher, called it "zebra." When Hanis Cavin, who was "raised in a Jewish household where I couldn't eat a cheeseburger, shrimp or pork," opened his Temple-to-All-Things-Pork it probably never occurred … [Read more...]
