"Hi. Can I live here forever? So, I had high expectations for Blue Hill and I was not disappointed. After some friends had dined there and talked non-stop about it, I knew I had to go. Well my first…" - Joanna

"One of my few fun dine-alone meals while on business. Right next to the W Hollywood, so convenient for me since that's where I was staying. I had my choice of seating on a Tuesday night. The nice host…" - Joanna

"Put some south in my mouth! Yes, I said it. I was born in the south, grew up in the south, then moved up and became a yankee (oh man oh man), but despite my now yankee ways, I know my southern food.…" - Joanna

"Thai tea. Delicious. #3 - pate pork meatloaf banh mi - perfect. Watch out for the jalapenos if you're averse to spice! #9 - grilled pork banh mi - juicy and flavorful. I wish I could go back and…" - Joanna

"Hello chicken apple sausage and eggs. I'll have you know that I love sausage links. The food was fast, the food was abundant. A bit too abundant. Eggs sunny side up, 2 chicken apple sausage links, 2…" - Joanna

"I did an event with Waffle Mania and was so happy that we picked that truck! Alain and Julian are amazing! They're right, the draw to the truck is the smell. As soon as the window opens, the street…" - Joanna

"I was waiting for when I made my way back to San Francisco to try Roli Roto. Well, glad I made the stop! Waited in line, then proceeded to over order, therefore revealing my gluttonous side... A 2…" - Joanna

"I may have been starving, but this meal was outstanding! Stopped in on a quiet Thursday night. Ordered the smoked eggplant with flatbread. Heavenly! The flatbread was some of the best I've ever…" - Joanna

"I just feel happy thinking about this place. Cozy, cute, a great spot for a date, a slightly awkward spot for a just-friends with the opposite sex meal, but whatever. Well, that's what happened. Went…" - Joanna

"I love cheese. I knew it'd be the end of me once Beecher's opened literally 1.5 blocks from my apartment. Major problem for my wallet. I love their mac and cheese, grilled cheese and fig, smoked…" - Joanna

"I. Love. The. 'Shroomtown. It's a gorgeously thin pizza covered... And I literally mean COVERED with tons and mushrooms. I'm not talking your ordinary garden variety mushrooms either, I mean, a…" - Joanna

"This place can often be a hit or a miss, but something that's always a hit is the nicoise salad - IT'S DELICIOUS. I order it once a week, and yes, at $15 a salad, I'm stretching the limits of my…" - Joanna

"I have spent many a meal at Vive La Crepe (at least 7-8 times). When I say many a meal, I don't mean dessert, I mean literally dinner. Eating sweet crepes. I love the bad reviews about the price.…" - Joanna

"Sigh, the disclaimer: I have eaten some of the best sushi in the world. That would probably account for baseline. I've eaten sushi in Japan right outside of the world-famous Tsukiji fish market, as…" - Joanna

"Queen Anne can have any revenge she wants as long as she continues to produce good food! After a disappointing few meals in the Charleston area, we finally went somewhere that wasn't "trying too…" - Joanna

"After reading all the wonderful reviews on Yelp!, I booked my birthday dinner there tonight. I don't know if it was because it was Judgment Day, or because I have incredibly high standards because I…" - Joanna

"I like to think of myself as Scarpetta's biggest fan. And I've only been there a grand total of ONE time. I know, it's a little too early to say, but I think it's love at first bite.Fast forward to 4…" - Joanna

"I... love to write love letters to my favorite foods. I feel as if I make my favorite foods feel special when I try to seduce them through words. The Brioche Caramellato and Malfatti al Maialino are…" - Joanna

"Dear Five-spiced pork belly with pickled pears and veggies on delicious delicious Parisi bread: I've been dreaming of you. As I write to you, 3 days later, I vividly remember the wonderful time we…" - Joanna

""How... do you get to TriBeCa?" I (jokingly) asked toward the end of the work day... my co-worker looked up and went "I don't know." Yes, I rarely venture to TriBeCa, but The Harrison is a gem worth…" - Joanna

"Completely horrified by this place. My company had an after-party here, and I get that there are rules, but to be rudely spoken to; that was uncalled for. We were made to wait outside since they…" - Joanna

"I'm torn. [I'm all out of faith... this is how I feel...] Heh... just kidding! Points if you get that reference. Anyway, before I had ever gone to Grom, I had a) been told it was not good and that…" - Joanna
