The Fancy Food Show at the Javitz Center is a three day affair that comes to New York once a year (also shows in San Francisco and Washington D.C.) I’m always looking forward to trying goods from over 5,000 booths, and still trying to figure out what the right strategy is to getting as much [...]

Kopi Luwak – aka Cat Poo Coffee (Give-Away)
Monday, April 26, 2010
Kopi Luwak was once thought of as an urban legend. In 2007, it was featured in The Bucket List, as one of the important things to do/drink before you die. Now, popularly known as the most expensive coffee in the world, it has certainly become a talking piece among coffee drinkers. Having seen prices on [...]
Holiday Gift Guide 2009
Monday, November 30, 2009
As soon as Thanksgiving dinner is inhaled, holiday shopping takes over. Some start at the stroke of midnight (sale at Woodbury Commons starts a midnight) while others were refining their wish lists at the dessert table. Some warm up their clicker finger for Cyber Monday and we’ve got our fingers crossed for a new apartment. [...]
Instant Ramen Noodles
Sunday, November 15, 2009
It all started about six years ago, when I ended up in the hospital with a severe allergic reaction. I had developed an allergy to artificial food coloring and was covered in hives from right below my ear lobes, down to my toes. It was so itchy; I scratched my sides till they were bleeding. [...]
Cook.Eat.Drink.Live
Sunday, November 8, 2009
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 [...]
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 [...]

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!
Wine Night Series: August 2009
Saturday, August 8, 2009
Here’s the first edition of our Wine Night Series (besides the preview):
Wine
We had a 2007 Robert Mondavi Fume Blanc. Like many of the Robert Mondavi wines I’ve had, this is a perfect safety wine. It’s a great beginner wine as well, being very easy to drink, light and fruity.
Cheese
We had two favorites, with two new [...]
Mrs. McGarrigles Mustards
Friday, August 7, 2009
We tasted Mrs. McGarrigles Mustards at The Fancy Food Show, where they caught my eye with a wide array of whole grain mustards. (Whole grain mustards is one of my pantry must-haves!) Recently, they sent me a box to do a thorough sampling of, which unfortunately did not include the Hot Whiskey flavor, the one [...]
Dancing Ewe Farm
Saturday, July 25, 2009
I spotted a new stand in the Union Square Market on Friday (they only come to Union Sqaure on Fridays), a simple layout featuring Ricotta on one side and Pecorino Fresco and Caciotta on the other. Luisa was standing in the center, by a sign that read Dancing Ewe Farm, giving out samples. With just [...]
