Hops Test Kitchen: A Summer Tasting of Lobster

A Summer Tasting of Lobster

Hops Test Kitchen
Pop Up Dinner

July 25, 2016

Cambridge, MA

Abstract

There we were... wandering through the VIP section at A Taste of Cambridge when we came upon a booth carrying a tasty lobster bite. Tara can't refuse a lobster snack and so... was drawn right in. In our brief discussion with the folks at the table we were told of the Pop Ups they do and pointed to a note pad that would be used to gather reservations for these small and personal events...

I'm certain you're all shocked that we signed up.

A Splendid Taste of Chicago

NoMi

April 1, 2016

Chicago, IL

Abstract

It was rainy in Chicago during our first expedition out together on Friday April 1st. That... was unfortunate. But we had a good sight seeing adventure from the John Hancock Tower and afterwards we descended 94 floors to find ourselves some food. The first restaurant we looked at (per recommendation of one of the attendants at the checkout) was filled up until way too late for us... so Nick took to Yelp and we found this place called NoMi and upon looking it up in OpenTable... we found it to be a 1k point restaurant so we were in! 6:45PM reservation it was as we figured that would give us enough time to move on over the few blocks to get there.

The above was my first view of NoMi. I liked the window.... little did I know what we were getting ourselves into!
