1. First, head on over to Robyn's blog for her post on a super awesome day we had in Brighton Beach waaayy back in May. I never got around to posting the Brighton Beach shoot with the very talented Diana (see photos here, here, and here) and the following meal at Cafe Kashkar. The night ended with cupcakes and gelato...L'arte del Gelato, of course ;)...huzzah! ^_^
2. Second, photos from a workday lunch at Katsuhama with Phyllis.
Phyllis had the Katsu Curry...
...while I went with the lunch special. They start you off with some pickles and a bowl of toasted sesame seeds. You grind up the seeds (bringing about this very lovely scent!), pour the katsu sauce over, and mix...
...and then you get a bowl of rice and miso soup...
...and then the katsu! With piles of thin shredded cabbage. I LOVE THIS CABBAGE, paired with their house dressing, light miso-esque. You can get seconds, and thirds of the cabbage. I bet you can even get fourths of the cabbage (but I haven't gone that far). Oh, and the katsu is pretty memorable too ;)
Not bad for $11, eh?

i read Robyn's post. What a great day to spend with friends!
Do you eat out everyday? You have incessant nice places to showcase. :)
yum! most katsu places in japan also give the "refills" of cabbage, love it!
Hey Gar!
I used to cook a lot when I lived in Hawai'i and LA, but here in NYC, it's out for pretty much almost every meal :)
Hey Kat!
Yeah! I tried to make the cabbage once before...but it just wasn't the same! ;)
Wow! You must have an international appetite by now. :)
Have you gone to any restaraunt week outings yet?
Hey Gar!
I'm not a big of restaurant week aside from those in the Danny Meyer empire...though they're not "officially" participating this time around. I feel I can find deals just as good during other times of the year for restaurants I'd like to visit ^_^
Hey Kathy - Looks like a bargain for the pirce......shredded cabbage with katsu sauce is one of guilty pleasures....
I LOVE this place. Alison took me here for the first time and now I can't get enough of it. An insane amount of food for the price. And the katsu is just sooo crispy.
