Jamjuree Thai Cuisine - Soups On in Seattle

Jamjuree Thai Cuisine, on 15th Ave in Capital Hill, actually started as a restaurant by the same name in Bangkok. Some of the founding family members ended up here in Seattle, and brought their love of traditional Thai cuisine with them. This spot is a family favorite for us, and I thought I’d try something new on the menu.

The Continental - Legendary Greek Soup in Seattle

Few things remain the same on the Ave in Seattle’s University District. Sitting next to one of the largest universities on the west coast, the Ave has seen its fair share of change over the last few decades. One thing that has remained constant, though, is the Continental.

Elegance on Boylston - Vlora, Boston

A friend and I recently enjoyed a quiet evening at Vlora Restaurant on
Boylston Street in Boston. Not paying attention, I almost walked past the
stairway that leads to the entrance of this basement establishment, but
was impressed when I got there. The large wooden doors at the bottom of
the stairs provides a grand entrance, and the interior shines with
luxurious elegance.

Warm Comfort in a Box - Trader Joe’s Organic Butternut Squash Soup

If you’ve read any of my blog reviews, you know I’m an avid biker.  I bike right through the winter as long as there’s no ice or deep snow on the road – at least when I start my ride.  And, I was out not too long ago, just as winter was stretching its frosty, blue fingers to take hold of the Northeast.  It wasn’t quite freezing outside, but I was sure surfing the edge of comfort going out

A Psychedelic Trip to the Oval Room

If I didn't know better, I would have gone on and on about the Oval Room's delicate medallions of shrimp sausage with citrus-dressed micro-greens in a bath of mushroom jus, because (unless I'm trippin') what's billed simply as "Wild Mushroom Soup" is anything but.

 

Trying to describe this soup to a friend was like a scene out of Willy Wonka:
