The Sin of Hubris At The Barbecue

April 4, 2010 / 1 Comment

I like to consider myself a barbecue god rather good when it comes to manning the barbecue. This skill developed out of necessity toward the tail end of my high school career when my mother (who spent most of her life as a chef) decided to take an extended vacation to visit family overseas. Once she left, I all too quickly realized the severe lack of culinary skills possessed by both myself and my father. With the risk of starvation quickly becoming a reality (ramen gets old fast and takeout will drain your funds faster), I resorted to the only thing that I knew: barbecuing.

I wouldn't exactly call myself a restaurant/food critic by any means,but I am fairly picky with what I eat and love to try new places/cuisines. Lately, many of my friends and co-workers have been turning to me for advice on restaurants so I figured I would throw my humble opinions out there for any unfortunate soul person who stumbles upon my site to see. Hopefully this will give me some material to write about where I don't feel like I am writing a book on a subject I barely understand that can be rather complex and have some semi-regular posts. A few months ago I got the crushing news that my go-to restaurant for sushi and Japanese cuisine in the Capital District, Saso's, closed down. So I will start off with a place that I tried last [Read more...]
