My Annoying Opinions

Here is the third of the three NAS Yoichi malts that I purchased at the distillery.

I said I’d have a review of a South Indian restaurant in Gurgaon this weekend but instead let’s go back to Humayunpur for another Naga meal.

I am beginning to approach the end of my reports from our time in Seoul this spring.

Demi opened in Minneapolis in 2019.

Ikk Panjab first opened in Rajouri Garden, a major Punjabi enclave in West Delhi, in 2018.

I’ve previously reviewed a whisky from Yoichi called “Peaty & Salty” but this is not a re-review or a review of another iteration of that one.

Let’s stay in Humayunpur.

I inch closer and closer to being done with my Seoul restaurant reports from our five week stay there this past spring.

Here is one of the backlogged restaurant reports I’d meant to post last week but didn’t end up having the time to get around to.

The end of the last week and the start of this one have together been a bit of a doozy.

Last month’s whisky reviews had a south coast of Islay theme (two Laphroaigs, a Lagavulin, and an Ardbeg).

I was startled recently to see that we had not been to Bangkok Thai Deli in over two years.

I am nearing the end of my restaurant reports from Bombay in April.

Let’s stick with peated whiskies to close out the month and let’s stay on the south coast of Islay.

I said I’d try to get a Seoul report out today but instead I have another report from Busan.

Here I am with my fourth restaurant report of the week and my second from my brief sojourn in Delhi in March this year.

I promised a Seoul meal report on Friday.

Hey, look, I’m behind schedule again with the week’s restaurant reports!

My first-ever visit to Carnatic Cafe was all the way back in 2014.

Let’s keep the peat and smoke going in September.

Today I have for you a report on lunch at a North Korean restaurant in Seoul.

A mere two days late, here is the Bombay report that I would normally have posted on Tuesday.

So, I didn’t end up posting restaurant reports from the Twin Cities, Seoul or Delhi last week.

So my planned schedule for the second half of last week fell apart completely.

Here is my second report on Maaslli, the excellent GSB (Gaud Sarawsat Brahmin) restaurant whose original location turned out to be a 15-minute walk from where I was putting up in Worli for five weeks this spring (if there is such a thing in Bombay).

Back to whisky for the first booze review of the month.

I’d said I would have another Delhi restaurant report from my considerable backlog on Sunday and, by god, it’s still Sunday in Minnesota!

When we’re in Seoul for longer stays we cook a fair bit.

After taking three years after our first dinner at Myriel to get around to our second, here now is my review of our third dinner there, eaten just over a year after the second.

Alright, back to Bombay and back to another South Bombay classic: Shree Thaker Bhojanalay.

Have I really not reviewed a mezcal since last November?

Yes, you read that correctly: this is a report on a meal eaten in Delhi not this past July, but in July of 2025.

Back to Seoul, but not to Korean food.

Only about two days late, here is this week’s Twin Cities dining report.
