Half the fun of discovering a new restaurant is sharing it with people you know will enjoy it. As Rachael Ray’s resident restaurant guru, here’s an inside look at what I report back to Rach about some of my favorite restaurant finds and food experiences! From: Kappy To: RR Sent: Saturday, January 12, 2013 6:38pm Subject: Some of NYC’s Finest (not the NYPD) Dear Rachael - As you know, my restaurant cruising runs the gamut. I love a little down-home local spot, I love a good food truck, I love a great sandwich and I also love a nicer meal every now and then. When I do splurge, I like to know it is going to be great. And by deciding to visit Chef Daniel Humm’s [...]...

From: Kappy To: RR Sent: Thursday, January 3, 2013 1:34pm Subject: NYC Asian Food Crawl Hey Rachael - As you know, it pains me when I have too many places to go and not enough days to do it. Enter, the food crawl. As you also know, I’m a big Asian food fan. What started out as a quick bite with a friend turned into a few quick bites - one with a friend, and two solo. It all started at Pok [...]...

From: Kappy To: RR Sent: Friday, November 28, 2012 4:46pm Subject: (Suburban) Chicago’s Finest Hey Rach - I don’t even know where to start with this place. Bob Chinn’s is an institution, not only in the suburbs of Chicago, but in the minds of people across the country. It’s been around for about 30 years and has the freshest seafood you’ll find in the area. As a matter of fact, they have trucks they send to the airport to meet fish [...]...

You can just tell by walking in the place that it’s a fun project and that they have such a good time doing it. One of their restaurants is called Publican, [...]...

Dinners Hey Rach - my last write-up to you was about some of my memorable lunches while we were in L.A. shooting for the next season of Rachael vs. Guy: Celebrity Cook-Off. This one will be about some of my standout dinners, and there were more than a few. The first day I landed, I headed to Roy Choi’s Sunny Spot in Marina del Rey. I’m a big [...]...

But this time I was thankfully there for a week and a half, so I didn’t have to jam all of the places I wanted to go to into one or two nights. Although we were busy shooting your next season of [...]...

Well, make that anything Buffalo-style for that matter. To this day, when someone asks me my favorite food, Buffalo wings is still the first thing that comes to mind. No joke, when I was in culinary school and was taking a [...]...

Anyway… I used to do regular summer trips to Aspen to work the Food & Wine Classic, but I hadn’t been back in a few years until recently. While I love going back for that stellar event, I never get tired of visiting my [...]...

I’m lucky because Katy’s dad lives there, so whenever I’m in the L.A. area, I always try and detour for a couple days for a visit. Santa Barbara is beautiful and has a casual, laid-back food scene with great fresh seafood. Starting with dessert first, we picked up some pies from Simply Pies. [...]...
