JCT Kitchen & Bar

JCT Kitchen & Bar

Located in the Westside Urban Market, JCT Kitchen & Bar is the sister restaurant to The Optimist and one of my family’s, friends’, and my favorite lunch spots in town. Bonus: In lieu of the standard bowl of after-dinner mints, there is a huge Lemonheads dispenser in the dining room. How’s that for creative?! […]

Le Petit Marche’

Le Petit Marche’

One of my friends* from public health school suggested Le Petit Marche’ in downtown Kirkwood as the perfect spot for a casual brunch group meet-up, and boy, was she right! We all enjoyed our meals, of course, and the relaxed, comfortable French country environment was just perfect. I’m not-so-secretly hoping […]

The Optimist Restaurant

The Optimist Restaurant

It’s definitely an accolade that The Optimist Restaurant was named 2012 Best New Restaurant of the Year by Esquire Magazine, but – to me, at least – it’s even more of a distinction that the restaurant is run by the same camp as JCT Kitchen & Bar. If that group […]

Prime Restaurant

Prime Restaurant

Since Prime is located in Lenox Mall – right next to Anthropologie, which is very convenient if there’s a wait for your table or if you purposefully coincidentally make your reservation for an hour after you plan to arrive at Lenox – then I guess it technically is a mall restaurant. However, […]

Pizza with Blue Cheese, Apples, and Arugula

Pizza with Blue Cheese, Apples, and Arugula

I had one of the best pizzas – Roquefort, green apples, and arugula – at a little French cafe called Match 65 in NYC this summer. The flavors were strong but so great together that I decided to recreate a slightly milder version this past weekend. (I love to add a little vacay […]

Three Things: NYC

Three Things: NYC

Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum Hub and I took a quick trip to NYC this past summer, and already I can’t wait to visit the city again. (I’ve talked to people who say NY tends to have that affect :-)) Of the museums we visited, the Frick and the Guggenheim (pictured […]

Travel: San Francisco, CA

View of the Golden Gate Bridge (taken from the Marin Headlands) My family and I took a trip to San Francisco last summer, and I loved it! Beautiful city and great food. Although the locals kept saying things like “really warm” and “shorts,” I was dressed in layers (tank, long […]
