I'm Sandy. Food fanatic. Aspiring Blogger. Dog mama to a Maltipoo named Saké (yup like the booze). NYC dweller. Wine lover. Saké drinker. Bourbon sipper. I have an unapologetic weakness for Starbucks Caramel Macchiatos (with extra whipped cream please), fluffy doughnuts, and double fried french fries with mayo, never ketchup. I love a perfectly juicy Shake Shack burger when I'm too tired to cook, or a slurp-worthy bowl of ramen, and would never turn down a generous shaving of fresh truffles, one of my favorite splurge worthy indulgences.
People say we eat with our eyes first, and that our visual perception affects our sense of smell and taste... so I hope my food photos will inspire you. Inspire you to feast with your eyes first, and then seek out the foods you enjoy (perhapse even new ones too) and truly savor-every-bite.

This tiny little spot, Chicken Insider, in the upper east side is hands down my goto for the best Korean fried chicken sandwich in the city. Maybe it’s that extra piece of hash brown in the sandwich, that turns it from a really good chicken sandwich to an over the top fantastic bite worthy indulgence. Either way, I would still order this sandwich, even without the hash brown, because it is just, that, good.
I don’t know how Chicken Insider does it, but somehow that over sized piece of crispy chicken is still super crispy when it arrives. There’s very little seating at this place, being more like a fast casual joint where you take to go, or order for delivery. Chicken Insider has several Chicken Sandwiches to choose from, but my favorite is the Hash Brown Chicken Sandwich, which you guessed it, comes with a Hash Brown in it! Best part is, this place is friendly on the wallet and bite worthy for the palate!
Hash Brown Chicken Sandwich
Served with Spring mix, hash brown and insider sauce
*we always get it with the sauce on side, that way it doesn’t sog up the sandwich. The sauce is also a little spicy, so for those who don’t want the heat, you can add your own mayonnaise instead, which is what I do. Yum!
