  • Gourmet Survivor II, Round One: Battle Po’boy

    |

    The results are in for round one of our Survivor competition and let me tell you, they are way impressive! You really won’t believe what beautiful jobs all the players did and how generous our coaches were with their time and storage space! But now it’s on you, readers. Only you can determine who will…

  • I’ve Got Friends in High Places…Well one, her name is Molly and she works at The Union Square Cafe

    |

    It’s difficult to gauge my success here on the world wide web in the context of the world at large. Yes, many people read my food blog but how many people in the world know what a food blog is? I rest my case. But my friends are eager supporters of what I do. Take…

  • I Went To Fashion Week

    |

    This is not food-related, but John Kessler–the former food critic at the Atlanta Journal Constitution (and the one who profiled my site in June 2004)–invited me to join him at New York’s Fashion Week on Wednesday because he’s doing a fashion week feature in the AJC and wanted me to be his professional celebrity spotter.…

  • I Made Popcorn

    |

    This is really lame, and I apologize. Again, I started school this week so I didn’t have time to cook anything or eat anywhere interesting. Last night I came home hungry and I made popcorn. My technique was a mix of a few I’d learned. Second kottke reference of the day: I read kottke’s Popcorn…

  • I Made A Poster

    |

    I discovered QOOP through Kottke and it lets you print and make posters of your Flickr photos. Since I started using Flickr at the beginning of the summer, I basically had a record of everything I ate this summer. And I made a QOOP poster reflecting that for (appx) $9.99. It’s hanging next to my…

  • I Started School Again

    |

    In case you’re wondering why this blog has been so quiet this week (Gourmet Survivor II notwithstanding), it’s because I started my final year (and I mean FINAL year) of graduate school. Among my classes, I’m taking a class in animated sitcom with the guy who wrote the Marine Biologist episode of “Seinfeld” (he’s also…

    Gourmet Survivor II: Coaches and the First Challenge (‘Po Boy!)

    |

    Players: here are your coaches. You are each, for various reasons based on various whims, paired with a coach who will: (a) coach you through each round, suggesting recipes, techniques, strategies, etc; and (b) host your entry when it is due. It is your responsibility to get in touch with them through their sites [unless…

  • And the winners are…

    |

    After much work tallying up the points and clicking through thousands (ok, maybe hundreds) of pictures, here are the winners of the Gourmet Survivor II Scavenger Hunt. Tomorrow these winners will be paired with food blogging coaches and hosts who will work with them on Round One of our competition—assignment to be announced tomorrow. Many…

  • An Adorable Baby

    |

    Long-time fans of the site will remember my Atlanta friends Josh and Katy who took over for a spell two summers ago when I was studying for a certain test that has no signifigance in the grand scheme of things. If that doesn’t ring a bell, they sang with me on “Dinner: The Musical” and…

  • Winners TBA Tomorrow!

    |

    Thanks to all the participants of the Gourmet Survivor II Scavenger Hunt. We’ve raised $263 dollars so far and are well poised to raise lots more once the cooking begins. All together we had six entrants who braved the absurdity of my scavenger hunt list. For those that missed their entries, check out the links…
