JAL Flight London – Tokyo, Russian Airspace

Jun
2009

03. June 2009

Sitting in a luxurious economy seat, I’m finally happy to leave behind Heathrow Terminal 3. Seldomly have I experienced such a dump – old, unkept, dirty, and full of tacky stores. Asides from that three thousand regulations and now you’re read more…

Zum Trauben in Kuesnacht is a nice italian restaurant. Since it’s located on the gold coast on the lake of Zurich, the cars parked in front of the place are a tad better looking than at your run of the read more…

Jaegerburg, Helvetiaplatz, Zurich

May

25. May 2009

Jaegerburg is right next to Andy’s Fischerhüüsli in the Bermuda Triangle next to Langstrasse. Seldomly does a restaurant state that on Friday and Saturday closing time is Open End. The Jaegerburg is a classic beiz and this led me to read more…

My favorite subject – airplane food. The Hello charter flight from Chisinau to Zurich served a meal, which was catered in Moldova. The cheese was horrible, it did remind me of Emmentaler but the stale type. The dessert was a read more…

Grill House Club is difficult to actually enter. The door is locked and until you figure out that you need to ring the tiny bell to get someone to open the door takes a bit of ingenouity. My appetizer were read more…

Chisinau is the capital of Moldova and as such an interesting place to dine. Being the poorest country in Europe, the amount of Bentleys and AMG tuned Mercedes, which roam the streets is surprising. We tried to get a table 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.
