I always seem to be craving sushi. You too? Check out these rockin’ rolls from some of my favorite go-to sushi joints!

The Skinny Dip Roll at Plum is as fun as it sounds! Try this signature roll that’s bursting at the seams with veggies.

Dish of the Week: BRGR and a Beer

303772_1461218298444_1473030108_31284177_176520810_n

Just look at this colossal Button Buster Burger from BRGR! Stacked high with braised beef short ribs, white cheddar cheese, béarnaise aioli, and crispy onions—this burger is not for the faint of heart! Being a burger lover myself, BRGR is one of my all time favorite spots. Make sure to wash down your delicious burger with a custom “beertail.” I picked the Colonial Flip, a heated cocktail/beer blend made of Guinness, Cruzan Blackstrap rum, and simple syrup. [...]

Keeping warm with my favorite dish this week

303772_1461218298444_1473030108_31284177_176520810_n

Sometimes, especially during the winter months, I get an irresistible craving for comfort food. Nothing soothes the soul like a dish cooked low and slow. Brasserie 33′s Veal Blanquette certainly fits the bill. A steaming bowl of fork-tender veal, mushrooms, carrots, onions and roasted potatoes, all doused in a delicious cream sauce! Hungry for more? Check out the February Food Tour in WHIRL [...]

Beer and Chocolate Bliss

Samuel Adams Chocolate Chili Bock is made with roasted chocolate and caramel malts with a hint of cinnamon and chili, which “brings out the flavors of the chocolate,” says Bevilacqua. The crisp, salty chocolate-covered pretzel is a great match with the roasted malt flavors of any bock-style beer, such as The Vixen.

Oh yes, we did pair some of the best beers in existence with every girl’s favorite indulgence, chocolate. No, this isn’t some kind of plot conspired by beer-loving gents everywhere to take back Valentine’s Day. [...]
