That’s how chef/co-owner Scott Anderson is describing his eclectic menu at Princeton’s newest dining establishment, elements (small e is intentional). Take, for instance, the photo here, Scott’s playful take on “fish & chips,” which is obviously not your grandfather’s fish and chips. I don’t usually like my food deconstructed and post-modernized (whatever that means here), … Continue reading

Udipi Cafe
I have grown quite fond of vegetarian Indian cuisine, which I “discovered” a few years ago by exploring that corridor of Route 27 north of Princeton, up to Somerset. Last night I paid a return visit to Udipi Café, which I reviewed over a year ago, and found it just as pleasing as the last time. … Continue reading
Chocolicious!
Take a good look at this photo. I know, it’s not easy to orient yourself to what’s going on there, because, silly me, I dove in with my spoon before remembering to take a picture! But that’s how good it looked; I could not restrain myself. But I quicky regained my blog consciousness and staved … Continue reading
Finally!
After years of anticipation and hard, hard work, Carlo and Raoul Momo’s beautiful new restaurant, Eno Terra opens this weekend in Kingston. I swung by for some opening festivities tonight, and caught this shot into their refrigerated case where their salumi (Italian for “cured meats”) are stored. Get a load of that big white slab … Continue reading
Blue Fish Grill
I can’t even remember how I heard about this place, but it was well worth the drive over to Flemington to check out Blue Fish Grill. It made for a lovely Sunday excursion (with shopping at Turntable Junction, too), and the lunch a friend and I enjoyed was a winner. … Continue reading
Lobsta!
As we headed towards Labor Day Weekend, I realized I had not had enough lobster this summer, in fact, none at all until the last couple of weeks. So I doubled up recently, enjoying classic steamed lobster with drawn butter at home, followed in short order by a lobster special at MeeMah, the newish Chinese/Malaysian/Thai place in … Continue reading
Beijing Street Food
I keep wondering what the folks in Beijing are eating. Well, according to CNN, deep-fried seahorse for one thing! No, that is not what is in the photo at left. The photo at left is of the fantastic grilled Lemongrass Shrimp I enjoyed at P.F. Chang’s China Bistro the other day. It is one of … Continue reading
I ♥ LBI
My annual trip to Long Beach Island. I go with my friend Carol each August for just a couple of nights and we have a nice, relaxing time. The first night we eat casual, but the second night we go for fine dining, lately at the highly rated Blue Restaurant. That dinner is always wonderful, … Continue reading
Donna Toscana Chocolate Lounge
You’ll have to do some driving, but it’ll be worth it. Diane Pinder, who owns Donna Toscana Artisan Chocolate up in Cranford has just redecorated her shop and added a Chocolate Lounge, so you can sit down and enjoy your treats on the spot. What could be better? I met Diane at the Chocolate Show … Continue reading
Such is Life
I vividly remember the first time I had seafood on a pizza. I was on vacation in Cozumel, Mexico years ago. Friends staying at the same hotel I was had raved about the seafood pizza at a local restaurant, and I was both intrigued and a bit put off by the idea – but as … Continue reading
