Being a mark at Beefbar (opens the original)
Read excerpt
TL;DR: Beefbar Dubai sells the fantasy of a decadent steakhouse excess but forgets that eventually someone has to serve dinner. The concept is simple, the prices are $107/barrel, and the food and service somehow managed to embarrass a 45-day-aged ribeye.The choice of flying Business over Economy is, ostensibly, to purchase the assurance of having a better experience.

Jamavar - Audit Report (opens the original)
Read excerpt
TL;DR: Jamavar is an impressive restaurant wrapped in a fantasy. The room is spectacular, the cooking is technically proficient and several dishes are very good.

A Longing for Bengal, Found in Karama (opens the original)
Read excerpt
TL;DR: I arrived at City of Joy placing unfairly weight of Bengal’s cultural mythology on its shoulders. I left with a full stomach, a few good bites, and a nagging question: is this what the City of Joy tastes like?A very wise friend of mine once said, “India is so vast that there is probably a place called little India inside the country”Thanks for reading Supperman!
