I wouldn't travel all the way to mid town for this burger, but it was good. We had the turkey burger with grilled peppers and Five Napkin Burger with lots of cheese on top. The ambience is fun and the food came really quick. Next time, I will try the veggie burger which is supposed to be very tasty and home made.

You may have to wait a little but normally they seat you in less than 20 minutes. Weekends are really busy though.

Casa Mono


The restaurant is pretty small. You get locked into your seat. Service is fairly good. Not too uptight, not too casual. Their wine list is amazing in a way that they have nothing under $35 but lots of $xxx. We tried $40 red wine as per the server's recommendation. I liked it so much that we emptied 2 bottles.
I'd say the razor cram and fried sardine were the best pick of the night. Especially the sardine was fried light and crispy on the outside, moist and fluffy inside. They were quite big—three pieces served—but we quickly finish the plate.


Overall, I had a good time. And I might try again to see if they normally use less salt overall...

Keeping Cut Flower Fresh

Start with a clean vase: Sterilize your vase prior to use. The build up of bacteria can cause your flowers to breakdown much faster than they may naturally.
Clean foliage from stems that will be submerged in water. Ethylene gas submitted from foliage, as it break down in water, can cause flower heads to wilt.
Rinse vase with cool to lukewarm water. Flowers, like people, tend to absorb water more effectively if it is not ice cold.
Cut stem ends at an angle, 1/4" to 1/2" from the bottom, and immediately submerge in water. An angled cut allows for more surface area from which flowers may drink. Repeat entire process every 2-3 days.
Along with the basics, adding a couple drops of bleach and some 7UP or Sprite can help to keep your field cut flowers brighter and longer. Keep in mind that your flowers can be adversely affected by heat, by cold, by wind and by smoke.
Summer Food
Using these summer vegetables:
Okra and Chicken
Cut chicken breast, onion and okra into about 1/2" cubes. If you have, fine chop some fresh ginger and garlic. Stir-fry chicken and ginger/garlic first and add the vegetables. Season with salt, pepper and some chili sauce or soy sauce if you like.
Fried Eggplant and Shishito Pepper in Bonito Broth
Cut Japanese eggplant into 2 inches. Deep-fry the veggies quickly in vegetable oil (salad oil, corn, canola oil)
Put them in bonito broth with a bit of mirin and soy sauce with grated ginger. (I personally love the ginger. Really good combination with eggplant.) Put a piece or flakes of dried hot chili if you like.
Leave it for a while and chill in the refrigerator till it cools down. (no need to make it super cold)
