Eat the Week; Nov 5th - 9th

Asia Feed: Morning glory in Vietnamese cooking | The Banh Mi sandwich | A tour of Ben Thanh Market | Our love for Vietnamese coffee | Asia Feed abroad comes to an end as we board a plane for New York | First Asia Feed post from home; an early morning walk through Saigon

New York: Dine Out Williamsburg and #DineoutNYC raise funds for Sandy victims | Jean-Georges announces plans for an artisanal market in the basement of the ABC Home building | Pete Wells pens a heartfelt letter to restaurants in downtown Manhattan | We get back from our trip to Asia | A look at the current state of Red Hook | Donde Dinner? - 154 Carlton Avenue

We Missed You, New York

We're back; 8,500 miles, 26 hours, and four airports later. As we get back to reality and tally up the things we missed out on, the list seems surreal: presidential election, Hurricane Sandy, Halloween, nor'easter, gas rationing, Lucky Peach Issue #5, and, of course, a slew of activity in the restaurant world. We're psyched to play catchup. Stay tuned.

We'd also like to thank all the readers for tuning in to Asia Feed while we were away. We had fun sharing our experiences eating our way through Manila and Saigon. Our cameras are still full of undocumented documented meals we had overseas, so we'll continue to update Asia Feed from the homefront. You'll be able to see those posts here as they go up. Thanks again, readers.

Eat the Week; Oct 22nd - 26th

Welcome back to Eat the Week, a compiled list of our posts from the week. This week was a little different for us in that we landed in the Philippines late Wednesday night. We launched "Asia Feed" to document everything we eat while we're here and it'll be our homepage until we get back to the city. We'll be in Vietnam from the 30th to the 5th. Stay tuned! Here's what happened this week in your neck of the woods:

Asia Feed: We introduce "Asia Feed" to document our journey to Manila and Saigon | We land in Manila | Breakfast at Mary Grace | Lunch at People's Palace | Traditional Filipino food for dinner at Fely J's | Breakfast at home

New York: L'Apicio opened on East 1st Street | Three restaurants that serve $10 pastas | Wells pays a visit to Midtown's "21" Club | Hometown to bring barbecue to Red Hook | Tien Ho's love for "funky" wines and our excitement for Montmartre's wine list | Donde Dinner? - 346 East 21st Street
