Try Ebisu for a sushi-free Japanese meal
Looking for a new type of Japanese restaurant in town? Try Ebisu, a small restaurant (we’re talking 6 tables for two – outdoors) right off Place Flagey (rue de Vergnies 37, 1050 Brussels) that prides itself in not serving any sushi or sashimi and just having a few homemade-style dishes on its menu… Ebisu is named after a metro station in Tokyo Homemade with a kick, that is… you’ll find your standard gyoza (at a really competitive price for Brussels – EUR 3 for 5 pieces… which is about half what you would pay elsewhere, and these gyoza are good!) but you’ll also find some unique dishes you are unlikely to see elsewhere, such as their wasabi avocado hamburger with rice patties instead of bread (see below) and meatballs with mango or apricot sauce

Bell Italia Brings Out the A in Italian Cuisine
Posted by freelance: When we talk about Italian restaurants, we talk about a sector in the dining industry that is largely saturated already. The Italians, it seems, have a penchant for building restaurants in places where they settle in.

liter…o liter us not into temptation…the cobble stones glisten from the rain earlier and the air is fresh…the almost full moon is hidden behind the clouds, as if wrapped in white gauze….I’m very glad not to be in the bar/restaurant business in this town: folks have reverted to having flunkies in the doorway, as if to snag any passers by…the flunkies watch each other to see how they’re doin’….and not well. Did I miss something or is there an new eaterie on 4th Calle, close to Burger King? El Macarone?

Toronto Vegan Restaurants
I feel really fortunate to live in a vegetarian and vegan friendly neighbourhood in Toronto, where I have at least a half dozen vegan/vegetarian restaurants within walking distance. Here are some of my favourite restaurants in Toronto: Fressen – Queen West of Spadina: for a special occasion, tapas style. Great wines too, and the dessert is to die for…they only have one but it’s outstanding and will satisfy any chocolate craving you might have

A Networking Twist
By Cindy Meyer Original Post at The Sandbox Blog Yesterday I heard a great speaker at the Central Exchange on the subject of Networking. I have to admit that I wasn’t looking forward to another presentation on Networking. It’s about helping others, don’t talk, ask questions, be sincere, don’t sell, plan ahead… all that stuff.

Last Weekend Together in Tampa
Hey y’all! Hope you’ve had a great couple of weeks. The hubby and I have moved to Atlanta and are almost finished unpacking. We just got internet today, which is why I’m finally posting again! I’ve missed it! We’re really looking forward to our new place, but will miss all of the great relationships that we’ve built over this past year in Tampa. Here’s a recap of the last weekend the hubby and I spent in Tampa. It was a great way to end it.Lately we’ve been getting our place in order, changing our address on all of our stuff, and working on finding a job for me. I can’t lie that I’ve really enjoyed not going to work, but I know I will need to get back out there soon and I’m hoping to find something that I’ll really enjoy doing. Here’s the recap of our last weekend…. SATURDAY: The hubby and I slept in and it was awesome! I feel like I haven’t done that in ages – always something to get to. But the hubby and I just rolled with it. We watched some TV and then finally decided we were hungry and that we’ll just skip ahead to lunch. Our plan this weekend was to try to get in some last restaurant visits and fun things before we leave Tampa. Lunch: So lunch was at Datz Foodie’s Market and Loft Bar - I have heard great things about this place, but had never tried it before. It’s a gourmet deli/restaurant with a little market to purchase foodie itemslike cheeses, olive oils, gourmet salts and various beers . The hubby and a few coworkers went there for lunch a while back and raved about it. When we got there, we had about a 25 min wait.

Neighborhood Beefs: Snack Folks Give in to NIMBYs, Change Barcar to The Arden
For at least the past month, the owners of neighborhood restaurant Snack Taverna have been embroiled in a fight for the survival of their space across the street at Morton and Bedford (originally called Barcar ). There were harsh words, harsher signs, and allegations of barks being worse than bites—never a good sign. To the restaurant’s credit, they just want to get along.

Eating out
We’ve been expanding Koah’s food choices to more and more non-mushed up real foods. I mostly fed him baby food out of jars for convenience, but now he’s quite insistant on doing it himself and it allows some freedom on my part. I really try to offer him balanced meals in finger food fashion. I try to give him a variety at every meal and include lots of vegetables. For instance, for lunch yesterday, he had black beans with rice, avocado and corn. For dinner, he had steamed brocolli, some cheese, some scrambled egg, and cereal (I still feed him cereal for dinner every night.. fills him up and gets in some extra iron).

Bad Food, Cheap
Yesterday I was with my cousins who were visiting from Illinois, and their son, who lives in Cambridge. It was great to see them, and we went for lunch to a new place in the area between Porter Square and Harvard Square. We’ve all done lots of dining out, and the Cambridge resident and I are both cooks — good ones. So there we were, catching up on family news and wanting to have a nice lunch, at a place that turned out to be…just barely mediocre. A wait-person who wasn’t well-informed or proactive about taking care of us was there, and we were served food that was …food. As I contemplate what I’m making for dinner tonight at our house I’ve got grilled lamb with persillade, grilled vegetables with balsamic glaze, an orzo/wild rice/lentil pilaf, and a salad with feta, red onion, and fresh apricots on the menu. Plus homemade mint iced tea, and cupcakes with a dark chocolate buttercream for dessert. The cupcakes are from a box, the buttercream is not. Not bad. And not difficult, either.
