My friend who is a native of New Orleans vouches for Cheeky Sandwiches, a New Orleans themed sandwich shop in the LES. He said that their poboy sandwich is very authentic and reminiscent of the poboys from back home. On my first (and certainly not last) trip to Cheeky Sandwiches, I devoured the “chicken” sandwich which was basically everything I love in one: a very flavorful and well seasoned biscuit filled with fried chicken, cole slaw and gravy. it was finger lickin’ good! He split the oyster poboy with me and I have to say that though it was very tasty. The menu is very small and simple but straight to the point. 35 Orchard St., NYC.

There will always be a special place in my heart (and stomach!) for Taco Loco. I’ve been enjoying their blackened tofu and mushroom burgers for 20 years and it’s still so damn good! 640 Pacific Coast Highway, Laguna Beach, CA

Whenever I travel, I like to hit the ground eating. I am however, fortunate to live in a city that is rich in culture and diversity and this translates very well into my gastronomical world. Here I will document all the good food that passes through my lips. I am by no means attempting to be a food critic, I just happen to carry the food-loving gene and am a big fan of sharing the love for what I consider to be deliciousness and passing on the good word.
