As the next round of Madison Square Eats gears up to start again next week, I remember some of my favorites from the Spring Mad Square Eats season from Hong Kong Street Cart. Beijing Ya Bun and Chili Salted Shrimp (lightly fried amazingness!). Can’t wait for the next round of food booths.

Ate at Bobby Flay’s Restaurant, Mesa Grill for restaurant week. The restaurant serves southwestern food. My dishes of choice were a salmon tartare appetizer (2nd pic), grilled mahi mahi w/risotto entree (1st pic), and for dessert pineapple upside down cake with vanilla ice cream. Everything was delicious! Great choice for restaurant week.

The food tour continues in New Orleans with LOTS of fresh seafood. Some of my favorites were the raw oysters, crawfish, and snowcrab. Nothing fancy…just scrumptious fresh seafood. I was in heaven (but sad when there was no more left except shells). Very delicious and very fresh!
