Hawaii’s famous raw fish dish is taking Dallas by storm with poke places popping up all over the city. If you haven’t heard of poke (which rhymes with okay) before, it’s super fresh raw fish tossed with veggies and typically served over rice. If you like sushi, you’ll like poke.

Ziziki’s at The Star
Last week I had the pleasure of checking out Ziziki’s at The Star (6765 Winning Drive, Suite 800, Frisco, Texas 75034) with my friend Wendy Darling.

Dining Review: The Terrace and The Lounge at The Buccaneer
Christiansted is alive with sparkling lights in the distance. The sun sets dramatically over Saint Croix. The Caribbean breeze gently blows your hair as live music serenades you.

Located poolside at Beach House Turks and Caicos on Providenciales in the Caribbean, Kitchen 218 feels like a swanky friend’s envious backyard. The boutique hotel is a short ride away from both Alexandra Resort on Grace Bay Beach and…
Dining Review: Salt Bar and Grill at Blue Haven Resort

Dining Review: Fire and Ice at Blue Haven Resort
Fire and Ice is an enchanting waterfront restaurant at the picturesque Blue Haven Resort on Providenciales in Turks and Caicos. The gentle ocean breeze blows through the indoor-outdoor Mediterranean restaurant, causing the airy white curtains to flow back and forth ever so softly. I particularly appreciated that jazz is always playing. My regular readers know how…
