I really wish I could:

have been born with a silver spoon in my mouth so that instead of slaving away at my stable 9-to-5 job, I could freelance as a restaurant critic.

My "Go-to" dinner party dish:

Ice Cream Party a la Pizzeria Picco: Straus Creamery vanilla ice cream topped with olive oil and Maldon sea salt

My favorite comfort food:

My top 5 favorite restaurants:

Currently craving: Margherita at Pizzeria Mozza, strawberry croissant at Cream Pan, blue crab handroll from Sushi Wasabi, creamy rock shrimp tempura from Katsu-ya, seasonal sorbets from Ici
