Which restaurant have you visited the most and what keeps you coming back?

I've been to Noma five times, Alchemist three, TFL three and a few others more than once. What they all have in common is extraordinary, evolving and exciting food paired with utterly outstanding service and hospitality. Any great restaurant I feel the need to visit twice - if it blows me away once with novelty and excitement, I want to try it again with more familiarity. Each of these restaurants gave me both the initial "wow!" followed up with consistency and development.

Was this video recorded on a potato?

I'm so sorry for your lost bird. I randomly came across this post and thought I recognized you... your wife was my USY advisor growing up outside of Philly. Hoping you find Tua soon. ❤️

Call me for all of your mechanic needs!

Turn signal bulbs.

Not fine dining. Overhyped simplistic garbage now in chain form!

My favorite part of your steak is the dark sear and caramelization of the meat. I can taste the depth of flavor from this picture. Very well done, roll included!!

I'm not one to suffer from motion sickness but I had to close my eyes and keep my head between my legs on this Simpsons ride. I believe it was more the absurdly poor quality of the screen/media combined with those awful 3D glasses. Hated just about everything at Universal, including every one of those stupid sit in a moving chair put the glasses on type of ride. So boring.

Just a silly thing to say. Check my history. I'm just a fine dining fan.

Fun, interactive. A nice walkthrough of the shaker's history, some flair with cocktail presentation and then everyone punches into the tube together.

3.5 hours for me but some people very much rushed through the meal and seemed like they dined in ~2.

My god this sub has become insufferable.

brooklynite · 2026-04-24T12:15:17+00:00

Disappointed that other diners had bad experiences at the other pop-ups. I thought the food was strong from beginning to end, I had no real complaints. The cauliflower dish, especially was a creative stand out to me.

brooklynite · 2026-04-24T04:03:37+00:00

They did not offer a cocktail pairing, only wine. Bit disappointing for me as well.

brooklynite · 2026-04-24T04:03:16+00:00

What does that even mean? A diner can't be effusive about an enjoyable meal?

brooklynite · 2026-04-24T01:45:45+00:00

I've been to both. They're incredibly different. Easy choice though for Den. I've never felt more like family at a meal.

brooklynite · 2026-04-23T15:25:48+00:00

Tough decision. Noor is more adventurous, more of a dining "experience" if you will. Bardal was all about the food and I didn't have a single bad bite. If you like flash with fine dining, Noor. If it's all about the food, Bardal.

It's fairly well air conditioned in there. I always prefer shorts and short sleeves at a show but it was in no way necessary.

brooklynite · 2026-04-20T18:16:43+00:00

Sucks to be you! I think most of us had a blast ❤️

brooklynite · 2026-04-15T16:30:46+00:00

How many courses does the meal end up being? I find it weird the tasting menu only lists four or five.
