Beverly Hills, De-Mystified: Scarpetta
Tuesday June 16, 2015 by Ryan Fernandez
The city of Beverly Hills, incorporated in 1914 with 550 residents, evolved quickly into a haven for the bourgening industry of Hollywood, and in the ensuing century has become an iconic location synonymous with the world's rich and famous.

Right off the bat, the food was flavorful, as the Seared Sea Scallops in cauliflower puree took first honors.
A welcome encounter with one of the best pasta dishes in my recent memory, the Chestnut Tagliatelle, consisted of hand-made pasta roughly the size of linguini with oxtail short rib ragu, braised chestnuts and bone marrow. It had some heft to it and the oxtail short rib and bone marrow packed a satisfying taste.
And this citrusy ice cream dessert may not always be on the menu but was one of the shining stars of the night.
If you'd like to know how it feels to dine as the stars do, make a stop to Scarpetta on a weeknight.
Tastes of Tokyo: Roku-Michi in Roppongi Hills
Thursday March 6, 2014 by Ryan Fernandez
The Roppongi Hills district of Tokyo is filled with world-famous destinations such as the Mori Art Museum and the Tokyo Observatory. At the B2F floor of the building that houses these establishments is Roku-Michi, proudly serving food and drink, as their sign proclaims.

I was seated quickly. The place was busy and the clientele consisted of business people on their lunch break. I ordered the chicken lunch, which included many aspects of your standard Japanese fare, such as a salad and pickled vegetables.
The main course was your straight-ahead dark meat fried chicken and slaw.
The star of the meal was undoubtedly the soup, creamy and served hot with bits of seaweed.
Next time you're in Roppongi, check out Roku-Michi for their tasty lunch specials.
