Teadebris @ Street

Susan Feniger's STREET writes...
With a menu of simple yet sophisticated tastes inspired by street vendors and family recipes worldwide, STREET brings the finds of Chef Susan Feniger’s (Too Hot Tamales, Border Grill and Ciudad) travels, and love for authentic foods of varying cultures, all under one roof. Vibrant and cozy, the dark wood interior and outdoor patio with palm trees and a firepit, offer a friendly atmosphere for sitting back and enjoying an adventure in tasting. Sit at the kitchen window bar and you may be the first to snag a taste of Indian Vada Dumplings (crispy dal fritters topped with mint, yogurt and tamarind date chutney) or Malaysian Black Pepper Clams from the chef!

Hope to see you there!

Taco Coma


Yes, we are all still in a taco daze. Our stomachs say, "no more" but our brains ask "carnitas anyone?" Please send us your photos and we'll post them for all to bask in our taco glory.

Graceful Evening at Grace

In this much overdue post, a summary of our lovely evening at Grace Restaurant on Beverly Boulevard.

Amanda, Erin, Christine, Diamond, Jennifer and Amy gathered for a lovely dinner of meat! Well, everyone with the exception of Christine (our Vegetarian representative) had meat. On second thought, this restaurant didn't seem entirely veg-friendly...Christine had one entree choice of grilled tofu! There were some appetizers and such...but you don't want to order an appetizer for your dinner, especially when you go out for...dinner. This isn't a late-night-I've-had-too-much-to-drink-and-need-food-to-sop-it-all-up kind of place.

Anyway, I ramble. On the food!

...we got down to business. Diamond, Erin and Jen each had the Wild Boar.

Erin with Wild Boar and Christine with Tofu

I have to admit, I was kind of jealous of the Wild Boar. It was so tasty and it sat atop a little bed of roasted Brussels sprouts, herbed Yukon gold potato spaetzle and violet mustard sauce. That spaetzle was DELICIOUS! Everyone approved of the boar. If I go again, I will have to have it.

Amy ordered the Pork (this was the dish I was oscillating between...and didn't end up getting....and I have to say that my mouth watered every time I looked at it! She loved that it was a good fatty pork cut, and the chorizo home fries were spectacular.

Finally, I got the antelope. Despite loving the boar and spaetzle, and being envious of the pork and home fries, this was very very good indeed. Some thought it was a bit gamey, but I liked it, and ate it medium rare with a heavy glass of zinfandel to accompany it. YUM!

A good time was had by all...and we're looking forward to our next Teadebris!
