Popped into El Zarape on Friday night for a quick dinner and can't say it was my favorite experience there. The joint, which usually delivers, was busy and warm and the mahogany mole my enchiladas de pollo were not up to snuff. Must have been an off night. Womp.—AE

I kept it close to home on Friday with a late dinner at The South Philly Tap Room, opting for the crispy fried chicken wings with jalapenos, horseradish spiked seafood cocktail and secret sauce topped burger before heading over to the why-is-this-place-so-damned-close-to-my-house Dolphin.—CR

So I spent the weekend in Montreal, and those of you who follow me (@foodsyoucaneat) know that I had a lot to eat. It was altogether too much of everything that my doctor tells me not to eat. I’m going to attempt to cover all of it here—let’s call this “Montreal’s Greatest Hits”.
Much more Montreal than you can possibly imagine right this way! »

The original Friday plan was to take it easy with a bottle of rose and some takeout from Circles but a glass or two into the bottle I was persuaded to get off the couch and head over to The Industry for some buffalo sweetbreads, pig ear lettuce wraps and a few Reed Streets, a new to the menu cocktail of tequila, Aperol and spicy kumquat syrup. Big thumbs up.—CR

Friday started off quite nicely with an impromptu invite to a.kitchen for a little wine tasting. Killer Arneis and Pineau d'Aunis plus a gorgeous plate of ramp-marinated (ramps!) flank steak with a runny quail egg. Things went from high to low with a few pints of Kenzinger at the Locust Bar before making my way over to Voyeur to see totally amazing sets by Autre Ne Veut and Delorean.—CR

Oh man, my weekends are getting repetitive. Cantina is becoming last year's Santucci's, with take-out becoming a regular Friday-night thing. Got the usual--hey, I have a usual there now--of the mixta salad glossed in a chile pequin vinaigrette that's full of personality and a girthy burrito filled with chicken and all the trimmins.—AE
With plans to spend a three day weekend in Brooklyn, on Friday evening I hopped on the Amtrak for an easy hour and a half commute to New York. I was kinda banking on the train having a bar car and grabbing a beer and something to eat en route but this particular train was the no frills. Not that any food writer worth her salt should be admitting things like this but Friday dinner ended being a can of Coke on the subway before heading to my friend's totally insane Weekend at Bernie's meets 80s New York themed dance party, Weekend at Basquiat's.—CR

Meatloaf, macarons and many glasses of Riesling right this way. »

I spent the weekend in Atlanta (Hi, Atlanta!) and ate A LOT. So in lieu of traditional Notes from the Weekend, I present my edible souvenirs in captioned Pic Stitch form...

Another week, another tame Friday night. Although it goes against pretty much all of my conventions I decided to be responsible, stay in and cook. Dinner was a what's in the fridge? (virtually nothing) affair of kimchi fried rice with arugula and a couple of over easy eggs. I spent the evening catching up on every episode of Nick Kroll's new show that's pretty much the funniest thing ever (see this guide to visiting Europe.)—CR
