19. June 2011

I was feeling slightly uneasy, but read good things about the Holy Taco restaurant in Atlanta. So for lunch I grabbed a cab and drove over there. It was a beautiful sunny day and there’s a nice patio with tables read more…

Fire of Brazil is a Brazilian steakhouse in downtown Atlanta. We were running late at night, hence we did a quick run to the salad bar. It made me smile – a lot of very ecclectic dishes were served. It read more…

Atlanta Fish Market, Pharr Road, Atlanta

Since I really like Seafood the Atlanta Fish Market sounded like a good place to head for dinner. Valet parking seems to be all the rage in the US, mainly also due to the fact that inner city public transport read more…

Rifling through the menu there’s a page to explain who created and designed the dishes. This time it’s Stefan Meier from the renowed Rathauskeller in Zug. He has given his good name to vouch for the quality and the integrity read more…

Brasserie Bernoulli, Hardturmstrasse, Zurich

Jun
2011

05. June 2011

Brasserie Bernoulli on the outside doesn’t look all that appealing. It reminds more of a concept chain restaurant than a mom and pop shop, but looks can be deceiving. The place feels like a decent neighborhood eatery and a lot read more…

I thought Swiss International Airlines had alread reached the Abyss, but apparently there’s an even deeper trench down there. On the flight back from Dublin to Zurich, my fellow travellers and myself were handed a cardboard box. Opening up, a read more…

Choose the next restaurant

Have you ever been interested in sending your favorite food critic to a restaurant of your choosing ?

Now it’s possible! The rules are simple, you pay for a dinner for two, including drinks. If it’s outside of Zurich an SBB half-fare ticket is added as well, your choice wether you want to join or not. So as an example if you want me to check out Ömer’s Imbiss, two Kebabs and two beers, plus the ticket would mean coughing up roughly 50 CHF, a visit at Mr. Rochat’s might be a tad more expensive.

If you need more information, or want me to try something special on the menu, contact me at therealpickygourmet@gmx.ch.
