GORDON RAMSAY’S Fish & Chips!

April 30, 2013 | Posted by bjcoleman in Hotels, Lunch, RESTAURANT REVIEW, Seafood, SOUPS & SUCH| 4 comments

GORDON RAMSAY is the notoriously harsh British chef and television personality who has built a brand around magnificent dishes coupled with his reputation for dropping “F” bombs as harsh criticism to staff and employees. But if you can get past his rough exterior and, what seems to be, never-ending controversy, Ramsay has earned 15 Michelin [...]

March 4, 2013 | Posted by bjcoleman in American, Dinner, RESTAURANT REVIEW, RESTAURANTS OF THE MONTH, Seafood| 4 comments

Voted one of the best seafood restaurants in the country, OCEANAIRE has locations in Orlando, Minneapolis, Baltimore, Dallas and Denver. But last week, I walked into the chain’s Washington, DC location (a Bill Clinton favorite) for a sophisticated dinner that I knew was bound to make Oceanaire Burgers and Bourbon’s March Restaurant of the Month. [...]

A Fried Oyster Platter @ THE SALTY DOG, Boston

February 20, 2013 | Posted by bjcoleman in American, PRODUCT REVIEW, RESTAURANT REVIEW, Seafood| 1 comment

A visit to downtown Boston’s historic Faneuil Hall is a foodie’s dream! Aside from gaining knowledge on America’s Freedom Trail, visitors can check out the spot where luminaries such as Samuel Adams gave public speeches, shop ’til they drop, and even visit the nearby waterfront and harbor. But go with an appetite and the most difficult challenge will be an [...]

December 11, 2012 | Posted by bjcoleman in American, RESTAURANT REVIEW, Seafood| 1 comment

The other night I had dinner at McCormick & Schmicks at 1 South Broad Street in Philadelphia! I’ve always liked this national seafood and steaks parlor… There’s nothing too fancy about their classic dishes, but the distinct ambiance is always elegant, and the hospitable service is consistently kind. I started with the clam chowder… And while [...]

Chicken Satay, Lettuce Wraps, Seabass, & Shrimp at PHILIPPE CHOW November’s Restaurant of the Month

November 1, 2012 | Posted by bjcoleman in Pan-Asian, PRODUCT REVIEW, RESTAURANT REVIEW, RESTAURANTS OF THE MONTH, Seafood| 4 comments

By now, everyone is familiar with the famed and legendary upscale celebrity-laden Chinese restaurant MR. CHOW, whose clientele list reads more like an Oscar and Grammy role-call combined as opposed to an actual regular patrons list. But for the past few years, hot on the heels of the original Asian-food heaven is PHILIPPE CHOW, the unauthorized [...]

Last night I grabbed an early Harlem dinner with fellow blogger Kellie Brown, creator and writer for the popular plus-size fashion blog – FATSHION INSIDER, and we grabbed a table at the Mediterranean spot SETTEPANI, located at 196 Lenox Avenue on the corner of West 120th Street. I love hanging with Kellie! I’ve known her [...]

Fried Oysters, Grilled Octopus, Onion Rings and Collard Greens at HANKS OYSTER BAR, Washington DC

May 21, 2012 | Posted by bjcoleman in RESTAURANT REVIEW, Seafood| 4 comments

One of the best things about Washington DC cuisine is the abundance of fresh seafood served up from the nearby shores of Maryland! Fresh crab, lobsters, clams, and shrimp are DC staples for outdoor celebrations, fancy harbor dinners, or family get togethers! And if you don’t want to trek all the way to the Chesapeake, [...]

I had the best day in Washington DC yesterday with Coleman Entertainment Group client VIVICA A. FOX! We stopped by Burgers & Bourbon’s May Restaurant of the Month – LEGAL SEA FOODS in Chinatown, across from the Verizon center, and while I did not eat anything, Vivica had a crab cake and some cheese-covered broccoli! [...]

LEGAL SEAFOODS, Boston – MAY’S Restaurant of the Month

May 1, 2012 | Posted by bjcoleman in RESTAURANT REVIEW, RESTAURANTS OF THE MONTH, Seafood| 9 comments

I’ve always loved food! During the sweltering NY summers of my college days, while doing free internships for the likes of Maury Povich, Queen Latifah and CNN, I’d make side money working weekends as the maitre’d for popular Manhattan restaurants Tavern on the Green and Ruby Foo’s! I enjoyed working in the hospitality environment and was good at [...]

A CRAB FEAST – Dinner at DINARDO’S, Philadelphia

December 13, 2011 | Posted by bjcoleman in RESTAURANT REVIEW, Seafood| 443 comments

While in Philadelphia, my crew and I wanted some good seafood… Someone recommended DINARDO’S, so we strolled through the well-known restaurant for a late night dinner. Dinardo’s is a crab shack at it’s best. Not that it’s a hole in the wall, but it is indeed rustic. Diner-like tables with mess-hall chairs fill the restaurant [...]
