JP Eats Food Blog. Welcome to my food (and wine) blog. I am very lucky to enjoy good food and wine pretty frequently. I also spend a good deal of time learning and experimenting with both. The point of this blog is to share some of that with you as well as help me remember foods, wines, and little bits and pieces of information I pick up along the way. I rarely take pictures in nice restaurants, so most of what you see here comes from my kitchen, my friends' kitchens, or various casual and local hot spots. You can hit the archive, or never miss a post with rss.

Local Bigeye Tuna Kuroyaki sandwich from The Dutch in SoHo. It’s not much to look at, but this is a delicious sandwich that’s a little spicy and has a nice salty, slightly crunchy kick from the flying fish roe in the mayo. The Dutch is a great casual hot spot if you can get a reservation or time your arrival around the crowds. At lunch this week, the Barnstable, MA oysters were unbelievably good—super fresh, delicious, and perfectly shucked.
Zuni Café on Market in San Francisco is a great spot for upscale casual lunch. For some reason, I’ve really been feeling the burgers on this trip, but this is a bit different. Grass-fed beef cooked medium rare with good cheddar and fresh pickles on rosemary focaccia with a side of really good shoestring potatoes. Before the burger were really fresh, perfectly shucked California oysters. Highly recommended.
Hog Island Oyster Co. bar in the Oxbow Market in Napa. Great oysters in a fun location.
A pleasant surprise to find The Lobster Place on Bleecker out shucking oysters for the street fair. The Beau Soleils from New Brunswick were particularly tasty for a pre-lunch snack!
Lunch at home. Absolutely delicious long island oysters from Blue Moon Fish at the TriBeCa Greenmarket. I better start getting these more often to hone my shucking skills…
