Trattoria Pesce Pasta

Friday, August 14, 2009

We wondered into Trattoria Pesce Pasta 262 Bleeker Street, New York, NY 10014 last night after we saw the wait at Keste. TPP is one of the worst Italian restaurants in NYC. The bizarre thing is that it has pretty good reviews. What gives people? Just look at this antipasto. Half of [...]

Turkey Burger Gourmet

Friday, August 14, 2009

Any Deli Ought to Do.
The ideal turkey burger is the pressed kind, not ground turkey meat kind. Have them slice it in half and invert it (so top and bottom are touching in the middle. Heat it with a slice of sweet ham and melt fresh mozzarella on top. Serve on crisp, [...]

Bacon Basil Shishito Peppers

Thursday, August 13, 2009

Shishito Peppers are the best peppers ever! I just love them, want to marry them (sorry Lon), and eat them up all at once. You can just just blister them (see pic down the page) in olive oil, sprinkle with sea salt and pepper. and they are already delicious. If you want to take it [...]

Thoughts on Public Relations Events in Food

Wednesday, August 12, 2009

In the last year, we’ve been invited to more and more Public Relations events spanning from restaurants to product launches to food festivals. I think it’s awesome that companies are finally starting to recognize the strength of blogs and are including us in media. It’s a new realm for lots of companies and I’ve seen [...]

Boka

Wednesday, August 12, 2009

Boka 9 St. Mark’s Place, New York, NY 10003 is a bar on St. Mark’s Place with Korean bar food. It fits perfectly into this college strip and takes me back to the days where my friends cared more about drinking than eating. Boka has the most confused set of waitstaff I [...]

Garlic Knots – For Superior Garlic Breath

Tuesday, August 11, 2009

When I was in High School, I thought garlic knots were the best things on earth. I guess I still kind of think that, but often I’m disappointed by the garlic knots I buy. I’m not sure if the quality of garlic knots has gone down in NYC or if I’ve become harder to please. [...]

Korean Tacos

Tuesday, August 11, 2009

The LA based Kogi BBQ Truck, serving Korean Tacos, is so famous these days, we hear about it in New York. Sadly, it doesn’t seem like they’re hitting the big apple any time soon. But, I have received a message from a group of guys that are going to be launching their own Korean Taco [...]

Fancy Up Your BLT

Monday, August 10, 2009

You don’t have to be experienced around the kitchen to make a great meal for friends. Let’s take the classic BLT for example. It’s so easy, a sandwich of bacon, lettuce, and tomato. It can be made in a dorm room with just a microwave or hot plate even. It doesn’t get much easier than [...]

Timbuktu

Monday, August 10, 2009

Our last stop on this Maryland/DC trip was a late lunch at
Timbuktu 1726 Dorsey Road, Hanover, Maryland 21076. The huge restaurant is oddly very closed, without windows, but I guess there isn’t anything to see outside. (I’m not used to how spread out stuff is out here.)
We started with some appetizers, [...]
