Hello out there! We're a couple of fat kids who nonetheless managed to make friends. Having said that, we still love to eat. More than that, we love to eat good food in with good company, and believe in the importance of doing so. The good news is, it just so happens that we live in two of the best cities in the USA to eat.
We have always said that we have two useful skills in life:
1. Matching ties, shirts and suits.
2. Picking restaurants.
What does this mean? It means, for one, that we always look awesome for interviews, weddings and funerals. Secondly, it means we are the guys who friends lean on to pick restaurants for group dinners, dates, etc. So we have decided to share our gift with the world - we are going to be providing our recommendations for restaurants that make good spots for you to break bread with your friends or that special someone.
Here are a few things to expect - and to not expect - from us. Call it a mission statement:
- No food p0rn. There is enough of it out there, and sorry, if we're at a boozy dinner we just can't be trusted to take in-focus pictures of food, it is simply too much to ask. Also, if it's 5 o'clock, you're at work, and trying to figure out what to do for dinner - the last thing we want to do is make you hungry and miserable.
- Money matters. Yes, Per Se is awesome, but it costs a lot. So many times you end up paying for not only yourself and your plus one, but also the stupid d-bag whose birthday it is (hate this tradition personally). Also, we all have friends who "forgot his wallet" are "out of cash and need to run to an ATM", and you have to end up spotting. We know, because one of us IS that friend!
- We're here to have fun. As you have probably guessed by now, this is not our day job. We're here to help, and maybe even amuse. So what you'll see here are recommendations, not reviews, i.e. we're not here to bash anyone. The only exception would be warnings about pretentious, over-priced, poorly-servicedplaces with shitty food. Which we can probably address in a quick sentence: don't go out to the west village.
So please enjoy, and bon apetit!
Best regards,
Jason & Naveen
