Smashburger (Downtown San Diego)

This is a guest post from Kirbie's Cravings.

Burgers appear to be the new “it” food for 2011, judging by the expansion of burger chains this year. For example, Five Guys is expected to open two hundred locations in 2011. In addition, I’ve seen the opening of four locations of Smashburgers in San Diego alone over the past year.

Not that I’m complaining. I love burgers.

Recently, a Smashburger location opened up in downtown San Diego. I was invited to a media sneak peek preview where guests got to sample anything on the menu prior to its grand opening, all complimentary.

Smashburger is your classic burger restaurant. The menu consists mainly of burgers, fries, and shakes, with a few other options thrown in the mix like hot dogs, salads, and chili.

The Best Udon In Town!

According to Ed and Adrian, this is the BEST udon in town! And you would never want to eat any other udon mee anymore after you’ve tried this authentic udon from a small Japanese shop called the ”Sanuki”.

Managed to try it this afternoon for lunch and yeah…it was super slurpilicious! Not to mention those noodles were smooth, fresh and springy too. Yum! More Here...

Polish Food Coma

On one rainy Saturday night, I found myself invited by my friend and her Polish boyfriend to a party in Williamsburg. As I prepared myself to face a mob of hipsters, she also told me to meet them in Greenpoint for dinner, to soak up as many calories before a night of drinking.

Karczma is right in the middle of downtown Greenpoint off the Greenpoint Avenue stop, famously known for being a predominantly Polish neighborhood. And with a name like Karczma, the Polish boyfriend, and Polish neighborhood, I put one, two and three together to deduce that I was probably going to a Polish restaurant, which I had never had before so I was very excited.

15 Cool McDonald's Food From Around the World!

Recently, I have been reading articles that analyze the success of McDonald's globally as they find a nice approach to different communities by adjusting their menus and service style accordingly.

Looking at that one story where a Japanese boy, who came across a McDonald's in the States, exclaimed,"They have Japanese food here!", we can see how McDonald's is doing a pretty good job in terms of assimilating into different cultural communities.

I can't remember the last time I went to a McDonald's but next time I travel to another country, I am seriously going to march into their store and order whatever I have never seen before in the original American menus!

So below is a list of their products of "assimilation" from a variety of different countries!More Here...
Cakewalk in Manhattan Part 2: Upper West Side

This is a guest post from CakeSpy.

Not long ago, I heard about a group of artists who do the most wonderful thing to keep themselves inspired: they will navigate that city with a map of a different city. The idea, of course, being that sometimes, removing yourself from your natural element can help you see the world through new eyes. Well, to say I was enamored of this idea would be a bit of an understatement, and I have since tried to incorporate this idea into my pastry-eating and adventuring.

So when I was headed to NYC, to create an adventure to rival my pastry half-marathon, I knew I'd have to think of something good. More Here...
