Flavor Buffet: 6/17/2022
A recent, delicious dinner: Harissa chicken meatballs with a crispy chickpea and feta salad.
Hello! Happy Friday. I know I had promised the Buffet last week, but work was busy and time ran away from me and all of a sudden it was Sunday. Ha! So instead of lamenting that I missed a week, let’s just get to the newness, shall we?
Today I’m sharing some good reads for the weekend, a couple restaurant recommendations, a few recipes, and a splash of summer shopping. Enjoy!
PS: Happy Father’s Day to all of the dads out there; especially mine who is simply superb. And super. :)

Summer is the primary “salad for dinner” season because any other time of year it just feels…weird? Right? So here are some tips for making that mealtime bowl of greens even more appetizing.
I love these paintings of everyone’s favorite snacks. May need one (or two) for the gallery wall I’m considering…
Another summer staple? Grilled chicken. It’s easy, delicious, and can be cooked outside!
Adam Platt is retiring after 22 years(!) of being the New York restaurant critic. I love this article about all of his favorites throughout his career.
Did you watch the 75th Annual Tony Awards last Sunday? It was such a delight! Man, I love live shows.
Speaking of salad, this Chicken Fajita Cobb may be on our dinner table next week.
Who wouldn’t want homemade Sun Dried Tomato Biscuits for breakfast and/or brunch?
For a heartier meal, featuring summer produce, Zucchini Cacio e Pepe with Brown Butter sounds incredible.
100 tips from someone who has eaten at 200 different NYC restaurants so far this year. Wow.
Shown in the photo above as a bowl, the Mercer Blue Rim collection at Crate and Barrel is my new favorite for summer meals.
I was fully influenced by Instagram ads to finally order AYR’s The Deep End Oxford Shirt. The reviews are glowing and they aren’t wrong. My order arrived yesterday and I’m thrilled! :)
Honestly, I may order a pair of clogs. I’m tired of constant blisters and have no desire to wear socks before winter.
Who is joining me at the brand-new Faccia Brutta in Boston ? The menu has plenty of marked (celiac-safe) gluten free options (including all of the pasta dishes) and I cannot wait. Let’s go!
Have a great weekend! Please make sure to relax, unwind, and enjoy.
