Jasa Kabob in Canton: A very brief and half-assed report.
Sorry for the delay. Here’s the dirt on Canton’s new Jasa Kabob from last week.
I brought the Styrofoam container home and opened it up to discover golf-ball-sized chunks of marinated lamb and chicken, a side salad, basmati rice topped with spicy chickpeas, two containers of an herby yogurt sauce and a large round of naan bread. The lamb was as perfectly cooked as any you’ll find.
The chicken was spicy, juicy and perfect. The naan was soft and not-at-all greasy like some I’ve tried. I’ll definitely be going back to try the chicken tikka.

Brush with fame/death
I didn’t see the scooter coming when I stepped off the curb last night, although, I admit I wasn’t really paying attention.
It was at the corner of 14th and University Place in Union Square.
I was running late for dinner.
I didn’t see any cars coming, so I stepped into the street.
As I crossed into traffic, I looked down at my phone to check the time.
Just then, the oncoming scooter beeped at me.
I stopped in my tracks and looked up just in time to see the man on the Vespa zoom past.
It was Mario Batali.
Jack's Bistro: An Epic Birthday Dinner
Last month I turned 30. It was awful. A major midlife crisis. I was just about to grow a ponytail, drop all of my savings on a cherry red convertible and move to Las Vegas to pursue a career as an Elvis impersonator.
But fortunately a very special someone helped cushion the blow of the big three-oh with a very, very special birthday surprise. Continue reading
