If you’re like me, you are a big fan of snacking. Snack foods are one of my favorite kinds of foods because they’re tasty and convenient.

Steakhouse Quality at Home
Everyone knows the anxious feeling and ensuing disappointment of cutting into a steak to check if it’s cooked properly, only to find an overcooked, grey center.

That all changed when I tried Poke Restaurant on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. I walked…
