If you know me at all, then you know that I am a ‘clean plate club’ eater. It is very rare that I ever eat out and don’t finish a meal completely. Sure there might be a doggy-bag of leftovers for brunch over the weekend, but you better believe those leftovers weren’t from my plate. Over the last few years working on the features for Sophisticated Living’s food specials, I have taken a great sense of pride in trying to showcase some great restaurateurs and dishes that can’t be missed. Fortunately or unfortunately, that has carried over into a new personal passion for food and drink. 20 slmag.net
Whether at home or out and about, I’m always interested in what new dishes and recipes I find. Just as important as trying new dishes are seeing and learning the tricks and ways to perfect the classics (I’m a sucker for a great cheeseburger). As the trials of the coronavirus pandemic start to subside, it is important to get back out and enjoy the fruits of our labors and indulge in some of the tri-states best restaurants. Within this feature are some of my personal favorite dishes and restaurants I am looking forward to getting back out and trying again. These are some of the restaurants and dishes I can’t wait to have again.
