Sweet Chili Salmon
This salmon has turned into a favorite at my parents' house after they had an iteration of this at a restaurant (Kona Grill) local to Riverton, UT. This recipe is a really simple and easy one to make for dinner during the week or the weekends for yourself or a hand full of people. It is simple because it is only 4 ingredients (if you cheat and buy the Thai sweet chili sauce that is already premade in the bottle from your local grocery store): salmon filets, salt & pepper, and

Le Violon d'Ingres - Paris, France
*At this luxury neo-brasserie, the duo of Alain Soliv ér ès (the highly experienced former chef of Le Taillevent) and Jimmy Tsaramanana celebrate the South-West of France with impressive technical skill and high-quality ingredients. The saut é ed sweetbreads served with a vin jaune sauce and the millefeuille with its light vanilla cream remain two great classics of the house. As for the feel of the place, the authenticity and conviviality reign supreme, thanks to a highly pro

The Ivy Royal Windsor Brasserie - Windsor, England
I have not eaten in a lot of places in England, but I can say this would be the one place (so far until I get a chance to visit again, but then even so, I will make an out of the way trip to be here again) that I would suggest to anyone that is looking for places to eat while in the country. My wife and I ate here while visiting England for a few days. We were driving around seeing the sights and ended up in Windsor to visit Windsor Castle around dinner time. While looking fo

Lemon Butter Lobster Risotto
"Risotto" is not a commonly used term that most people know unless they get into cooking themselves or visit nicer "fancier" restaurants when in all reality it is just another type of rice. Risotto is derived from riso which is Italian for rice, and I learned that about the same time that I am typing this post up for all of you to learn as well (if you do not already). Look at that: we are learning all together! Moving on... There are those who say that Risotto is difficult t

Chicken Tikka Masala
Once upon a time, I attempted a similar recipe for my wife since this is one of her absolute favorite meals, and let's just say this time was WAY more successful than the first. The first time the flavor wasn't there (probably due to the fact that when I opened my turmeric, it exploded all over me... not my finest moment, but it gave my wife a laugh), and I did not time anything about the meal correctly. This time around though, was definitely an improvement, but still some t

Ruth's Chris Steak House
Recently, my wife and I enjoyed a date night at Ruth's Chris. We made reservations, arrived early, and were seated promptly after a brief wait. Upon being seated, we were quickly served water and introduced to our server, who provided recommendations and the chef's specials as we perused the menu. He was very helpful in answering our questions and remained attentive throughout the evening. Our meal included the following: Appetizers - Sesame Ginger Seared Sea Scallops - $28 S
