July was filled with many eating delicious foods and adventures. These photos are just some of it.
After a month long sleep, I finally felt like venturing out for some eating and food photo snapping. One of the restaurants I was waiting to open was Lake Trout. They're serving up fried fish, fried fish sandwich, crab cakes, fried shrimp and for the seafood haters...wings. The filet-o-fish from McDs is one of my favorite fast food sandwiches, though of course I haven't eaten one in a waaaaay long time. So I was pretty damn excited when this opened and had to try their fried fish sandwich (on the menu is cheese fish sangwich).
Another restaurant I was looking forward to try was Blue Collar Good Job. People were comparing their burgers to In-N-Out. If you know me, you know why I HAD to go try their burgers, asap. This burger joint was literally 2 doors down from Lake Trout, making the lunch crawl easier.
I'll do a proper review of both places over at Eat to Blog soon but I do plan to go back, many more times.
Both Lake Trout and Blue Collar Good Job have the same address, 160 Havemeyer St in South Williamsburg.
A Riot Punsch (it was STRONG!), Smooth Shark with Duck Fat Potatoes and Chimichurri, Stuffed Squash Blossoms, a Bowl of Fried Scapes (served with Sriracha).
This is my current obsession, the plate of chili sesame noodles at No Name Bar by Chef Lindsay Salminen in Greenpoint. While I find the noodles to be a little bit too al dente (not your usual silky and smooth noodles from Chinese joints), I do love the sesame flavor, the SUPER wideness of the noodles and the seasonal greens on top. Also the intimate feeling I get while sitting at the counter directly outside of the kitchen.
One of my dream is to go to Japan during winter time. Find a random ramen cart, get a bowl of ramen and slurp away while it is snowing outside. So the basement of a bar in Greenpoint is far from being a roadside ramen cart in Japan but it'll do for now until I get my butt over to Japan.
