El Asadero in Tulum, Mexico.

El Asadero has the finest cuts of steak in Tulum. We ordered: 500 grams of arrachera or flank steak ($140 pesos = $10.75 USD) with a grilled onion ($15 pesos = $1); and two tacos — a nopal + an arrachera with cheese ($34 = $2.50). We were given a variety of salsas with chips, too. I miss Tulum already.

Diner in Williamsburg.

Diner is so cool they write the daily menu on the table. Vikki and I shared a beet salad with yogurt and grapefruit slices ($10) and the best damn fried chicken sandwich topped with chili lime aioli + a pickled egg on sweet potato focaccia ($14). We both agreed that there's nothing quite like this perfectly arranged chicken.

Wanting to sink my teeth into some fresh seafood, I chose the mayo-based lobster roll ($18) from Fish in NYC. After my first bite, I quickly learned that I happen to prefer butter only. Oh, well. Call me a purist.
