We were invited to attend Cook.Eat.Drink.Live, yet another food event. It seems like these are popping up every other week these days (in NYC). Held at The Tunnel/La Venue, there was a room for wine tasting, a long corridor of food tastings, and two stages with scheduled demos. There was also one room that seemed [...]

Equipment Upgrade
Sunday, November 1, 2009
We are constantly inspired by some of the photography we see. By other bloggers (like WoR Couple), by friends & family / semi-pro photographers (like Steve, Bill, and Eddie), and by others. And while we’ve received many wonderful compliments on our improving skills, we realized it was time to upgrade our equipment, it’s not the [...]
New Amsterdam Market
Monday, October 26, 2009
I have been anticipating this month’s New Amsterdam Market, a temporary monthly market, held where the old Fulton Fish market was. The stands focus on local farms or purveyors that source from local farms, with a special focus on meats this time. I knew there were several vendors from Brooklyn, NJ, or upstate NY, places [...]
FoodMayhem’s First Meet-Up

UPDATE: Brunch will be at Gottino (52 Greenwich Avenue, NYC) at 11am on Saturday, October 17th
Hi everyone!
Way back, when I started blogging, I didn’t really understand what blogging meant. It changed my life unexpectedly and I’m still surprised by it almost daily. One of the greatest blessings that I did not foresee, was that blogging [...]
Ocean Spray’s Bogs Across America (with Duff Goldman and Tyler Florence)
Wednesday, October 7, 2009
I always thought Ocean Spray was another one of those mega corporations, or under some umbrella with 400 other brands. It’s not! It’s a grower-owned cooperative of about 600 cranberry farms, most of which have been growing and harvesting cranberries for several generations.
Gourmet Magazine R.I.P. & Olive Caper Relish
Tuesday, October 6, 2009
Conde Naste is closing Gourmet Magazine!
I just felt compelled to make a recipe, with the magazine flipped open on the counter, letting anything splash on it that may, the way I started cooking. I ended up at the last few pages of the March 2003 edition, looking at this simple Olive Caper Relish. It’s so [...]
Plate by Plate 2009
Saturday, October 3, 2009
I was at Plate by Plate, Project by Project’s annual tasting benefit, last night. I was privileged enough to get early access, to watch as the chefs plated their dishes. This is my favorite part, the calm before the storm, when I can watch as chefs are busy, but still have the time to have [...]
Starbucks Launches VIA Instant Coffee
Wednesday, September 30, 2009
I’ve written some pretty mean things about Starbucks. I hate their coffee and I think they know that. Yet, they still keep inviting me to their events and I still keep going. They may believe that any press is good press but there’s no guarantee that I will write about it at all. ( I [...]
Cowgirl Chocolates and a FoodMayhem Meet-Up
Sunday, September 27, 2009
Erin of Doctor Food has been a blogger friend of ours, almost since the beginning of FoodMayhem. She knows us well and knew that we’d love Cowgirl Chocolates, so she generously sent us a bunch of flavors to try. Thank You!
Le Fooding D’Amour
Saturday, September 26, 2009
We were at Le Fooding D’Amour tonight (held at
PS 1 Contemporary Art Center 22-25 Jackson Avenue, Long Island City, NY 11101). It’s a mess of a food event with lines being the main theme. With at least 1000 people, probably more, and just nine stands to get food….you do the math. [...]
