Food Tales: Salad Skeptic

As the title states, I was extremely skeptical about the idea of the shaker salad jar and, to be completely honest, the only reason I decided to go for it was because of the pretty pictures.

Food Tales: Sorrel

So when my BFF and fellow food lover was back in town after a stint in Shanghai, we met up for a quick weekday lunch. The first place I thought to take her was Sorrel, a new joint that is conveniently located next to my office; the series of attractive food photos I had seen on a few instagram accounts had made an impression and compelled me to make a reservation.

So my first month at THE FIFTH COLLECTION was a real struggle food-wise. That is, until a friend told me about this new restaurant called Grain Traders along Market Street.
