Clemente's Maryland Crabhouse
This Maryland style waterfront crabhouse is actually in Brooklyn. It is a bit tough to find but well worth the effort. My friend Anthony told me about Clemente's Maryland Crabhouse ...
Tap Water is Good Water
No wonder we like Aquafina... PepsiCo announced that Aquafina is, in fact, just tap water. I have no problem with that-- I love tap water. However, I still prefer Poland Spring....
Cafe Fiorello
You'd think that Cafe Fiorello Cafe Fiorello would be a tourist trap since it's across from Lincoln Center, but it's actually got great food. After attending the last night of Midsummer Night Swing, we headed over for dinner.The table of 5 shared 2 appetizers. The prosciutto with melon...
Happy Birthday to... me. At Del Posto!
For my birthday, Jessica treated me to a wonderful dinner at Del Posto Del Posto. For those of you who aren't in the know, Del Posto is Lidia and (her son) Joe Bastianich's and Mario Batali's largest (at least fiscally-speaking) venture....
Korean Fried Chicken
Over the years, I've lost interest in reading the generic food articles written up in most newspapers and magazines. The same subjects get re-used over and over again, while restaurant reviews are not honest (pumping up whoever is paying top advertising dollars), and the recipes are either old or untested.My friend Andy sent me this article about Korean Fried Chicken and it really caught my interest and it was a quick a...
Peking Duck Forest
Peking Duck Forest Peking Duck Forest is surprisingly authentic. Located by the Austin Street shopping area in Forest Hills, you'd think it was one of those typical Chinese restaurants with the Lo Mein, General Tso's, and Chicken with Broccoli. While those dishes are also offered, you can also get t...
Oscar's at Waldorf Astoria
My boss took me to lunch at Oscar's Oscar's for a break from the heat (our office had no air conditioning as a result of the steam pipe explosion on 43rd Street). They do a good job maintaining a cool ...

We received a request (in the form of a comment from DelectaBILL) to find out if the rumors about In-N-Out Burger (founded by the late Esther Synder
Opia
I went to a networking Lunch at Opia yesterday. When work pays for food, I shouldn't complain but my duty is to tell the world where to eat.It was a pre-fixed package that started with a Ceaser salad. I didn't eat it so I won't comment. Then we had a choice between 3 main courses. There was a plain penne in red sauce (nothing else in it), a chicken dish with french fries that looked like a diner dish, and the salmon dish I chose. It was pa...
Hell No! We Want O!
That's my "we want oxygen" / bring it to the streets rant, what do you think? It's about the CO2-packaged meat that's been around for a bit; and it's time it goes away. I was really happy to read an article over at Slate about this issue. Particularly, because they have a copy of a letter from Safeway SVP, Meat & Seafood, Michael McGinnis...

Let's Not Rendez Vous at This Cafe
From the outside looking in, Le Rendez-Vous Cafe Le Rendez-Vous Cafelooks like a pizza joint with a bar on the side. When you get to the back, it turns into a Middle Eastern theme. The menu includes a mix of Italian (wierd) and Middle Eastern foods and Hookah.The 5 of us decided to split 3 appetize...
Markt Moves
As we were driving to Kasi's (Lon's sister) yesterday, we passed Markt Markton Sixth Avenue, a pleasant surprise. Someone had recommended their fries to me when this restaurant had their meatpacking district location. Before, I got around to going, they closed. They have now re-opened on Sixth Avenue so it looks like I'll get another chance. It looks smaller than their ...
Race to Cilantro
I ran the Naples - New York Park to Park race this morning in Central Park as part of Team in Training. Lon and Ice came to cheer me on in my second race ever. This was my first experience ever in grabbing water while running and while I did manage to hydrate, I also snorted water up my nose, and spilled it all over myself.After the race, we headed south to find an area for Ice to play ball. After Ice was completely worn out, we h...
New Yeah Shanghai Deluxe
Last night we hunted for our dinner. Unfortunately, the hunt didn't take place with spears in hand, through the forest; but rather with Vindigo (a foodie must-have) in hand, through the murky streets of Chinatown. Along for the hunt were our new friends Kate & Jesse. Jessica and I remember a wonderful place where we had eaten with her family and longed to return. We couldn't remember the name or the address, but knew they had great soup dumplings, a crap...
Chicago isn't Tasting Too good
For the longest time I've wanted to take a trip to the famed Taste of Chicago -- a massive, two-week, outdoor eating fest...My Favorite Fruit Stand
Of course I love loading up on produce in Chinatown or Flushing, but since I can't always make the trip, I frequently buy fruit from a fruit stand Best Fruit Stand on University Place, in front of L'Annam. It's twice the size of most fruit stands in Manhattan and offers better prices than most too. It's run by a mom with 2 or 3 sons; they generally sell...

...Treatise on Grilling
It seems almost needless to say, but having a blog and being verbose I shall: grilled food is delicious food! We've talked about grilling before, as recent as the post about Clean BBQ, and in the past for events such as Mother's Day. Today's entry is about why I think grilling is so delicious....
Nutrition for Marathoners
I've been running with Team in Training, a group that trains for athletic events while raising money for The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. It has been an amazing experience so far and I've been overloaded with information about nutrition for marathon runners. I think I can handle eating the bigger breakfasts, carb heavy meals, and the timing of meals,...
Flashback: My First Angel Food Cake
Almost exactly six years ago I made my first Angel Food. I had watched an early episode of "Good Eats" and felt like Alton really provided good ideas for how to ensure a successful cake. And as usual, I never leave good enough alone, so I came up with a few further ideas for how to make it good.And so, below is a reprise of a post from my site six years ago, about how to make a great angel food cake...

Lon and I made dinner for Peter, my Bridesmale/Bridesman (don't know what the correct term is), last night. Everything came together wonderfully.It's All in for Breakfast
Lately, I'd been having a hard time deciding what to eat for breakfast. Sometimes I'd have a deli breakfast sandwich (like egg and cheese) or just a banana, but I wasn't satisfied. Then we starting buying loads of fresh fruit.

Salad, Pre-Tossed...Beef, Korma-Style
When looking upon the top sirloin that we had defrosted for dinner, I just didn't feel like having it as a steak. For some reason it called to me as beef korma. While there are several recipes on AllRecipes for Korma, I decided to make my own.![]()

...Lunch
I little while back I talked about the woes in finding a good lunch by my office. It hasn't gotten much better but it's a step up. I've been eating at Variety Cafe. Variety Cafe It's one of those big places where you pay by weight. It's decent stuff for $6.49 per pound: shrimp, fresh mozzarella, portobellos...Keep in mind that the cold bar is way better than the...
Tarallucci e Vino
I've walked by Tarallucci e Vino Tarallucci e Vino a couple of times and always intended on trying it. I had forgotten about it and then my friend Sarah suggested it for lunch. We got a table outside, where we could enjoy the New York summer and catch up on the latest about each other.We ...
Sometimes You Just Want Simple
Over at ThisIsBy.us, I read a story called "I Just Want a \%@* Burger! by bbstucco. It was humorously written, but the moral of the story is something I've discussed with friends many times. Sometimes you just want plain food. This is no surprise to Anthony Bourdain or many other professional cooks, who after a night of ">...
Veggie Salmonella-- It Gets Worse
Robert's Gourmet expanded the recall that we talked about to include their Super Veggie Tings Crunchy Corn Sticks product. I guess unsurprisingly, this correlates all the way back to the Chinese-- and our post about Chinese food safety. And so wh...

Heavyweight celebrity chef Mario Batali has gone on record (twice, actually) stating that he hates food bloggers. On the Eater.com page, the comments swing back and forth discussing about whether he hates bloggers or not, he is still a talented chef. In a recent ...
Sarge's Delicatessen
After watching Transformers, we were starving and ready for lunch. We walked up Third Avenue and decided to try Sarge's Delicatessen Sarge's Delicatessen since some people had heard of it. There was a short wait for our party of 6, which was weird since we passed by a couple of empty tables as we walked all the way to the back.- Continue reading "Sarge's Delicatessen"
