The Everyday Epicure

Because Food Should Not be an Acquired Taste...

120 Crab cake at Captain Linell House

121 Fried mozzarella at Clemente alla Maddalena

122 Lobster @ La Pergola

123 Crab cake at Legal Sea Foods

124 Cheese pizza at Mike's Apizza West Haven

125 Filet mignon @ Jackson's

126 Bond burger @ Bonda

127 Sage and mustard chicken @ Sperry's 

If 134 is a perfect flavor concoction then this surpasses that. Sage and mustard are an excellent flavoring to a chicken but once you through in escarole beans, this dish goes from very good to superb. Enjoy the outdoor patio during the racing season in Saratoga and this dish among others won't leave you disappointed. 

128 Pasta bolognese at L'Andana

129 Eggplant Parmesan @ Clemente alla Maddalena

130 Filet mignon @ STK Rooftop

131 Apple Coffee Cake @ Beat Brasserie

132 Pizza at Grimaldi's

133 Lobster Roll @ Seafood Shanty

134 Oreo Cheesecake at Carmen Anthony's 

All the desserts at Carmen Anthony's are excellent but the oreo cheesecake with raspberries take the cake (pun somewhat intended). The blend of flavors work perfectly together and the cheesecake, while rich is not overwhelming. Carmen Anthony's figures out a delicious way to push to the limits without going over. 

135 John Dory @ La Pergola

136 Shumai @ Sakura

Steamed crab dumplings are certainly a favorite of mine and thus I get these at nearly every Japanese place that offers them. These in particular are high quality, not too hard or soft and feature an excellent soy sauce that is accompanied by just the right amount of spicy mustard. My mouth is watering right now...

137 Gnocchi @ Baia Saracena

138 BBQ ribs at Little Barn

Its not often I claim that things rival their well-reputed and world acclaimed counterparts, but the barbecue in Westport, CT at Little Barn rivals that of Austin Texas. Not quite on the LA BBQ level but pretty darn close. While you're there- get the deep fried pretzel as well! 

139 Molten chocolate cake @ Parione
