WELCOME!

WELCOME to "He Fed, She Fed"! We hope you enjoy our monthly reviews, but first....the back story:


During a chilly evening in January, after enjoying a weekly ritual of wine guzzling and cooking-show watching, four friends came up with the idea of starting their very own supper club.

Perhaps it was Tom Colichio's talents, or the seared scallops melting on the TV, or merely the over-indulgence of Cabernet that led them to open up their bank accounts and withdraw their weekly savings into New York City's culinary expertise.

Nine months, and many bottles of wine later, the quartet had surrendered their palates to top name chefs and some of the finest restaurants the big apple has to offer. Unfortunately their pockets were also emptied by a few overrated, and over priced menus, leading the group to wish they could tell someone of their plight.

In an awe-inspiring moment, the only male member of the supper club (HE), and his former co-worker (SHE) took the advice of their fellow gastros to display onto the web-conscience world a completely unbiased review of their monthly meals.

Knowing fully well that there are hordes of food critics, with culinary backgrounds to match Eric Ripert or Marcus Samuelsson, they wondered if their "average joe/jane" reviews would be able to stand up to the greats. Then they realised they didn't care.

HE (Greg), and SHE (Sara) are two average, middle-classed New Yorkers with two very different views on what makes up a great restaurant. Of course they'll be discussing the food, booze, and service, but they won't forget to talk about the clientele, decor and even the conditions and comforts of the restrooms. Most importantly, they'll discuss the restaurants in a way that even the food "noob" will understand. Check back here each month for a new review!
