The Boys Are Back in Town: Dinner at 44 & X
Many may not know this, but back when I was living in Atlanta I was the member of a very violent, much feared gang. L.A. has its Crips and Bloods, my crew was too fierce to have a name. F’real. Equal parts “Boyz in da Hood” and “West Side Story.” Then Ricky and I both…

Smothered in Food and Love–Another Family Weekend Eating Spree with Meals at Peter Luger, Blue Ribbon and Il Mulino PLUS special celebrity guests!
“I have very exciting news!” said my mom on the phone last week. “You’re not going to believe this! Are you sitting down?” I sat down. “Not only did I get us a reservation at Peter Luger Friday night, but I got us into Il Mulino on Saturday.” “What’s Il Mulino?” I asked. “Are you…

The great constellations of the food blogging universe joined the hoi polloi on Thursday night at the Makor Center for a panel discussion on food blogging moderated by Andrea Strong.

Welcome to the Concrete Jungle (Dessert at Shake Shack)
Yesterday I took Lisa to Shake Shack for the first time and she enjoyed herself a vegetarian-friendly portobello burger which was deep fried and stuffed with her favorite cheese: Muenster. After that I said: “We must get a concrete” in such a way that suggested I’d tried a concrete and wanted Lisa to try one…

Say Hallo to My Little Sausage (Dinner at Hallo Berlin)
Praise be to Robert Sietsema and his guide to Ethnic Eating in New York. It’s so small you can fit it easily into a coat pocket, a purse or–in my case–the satchel bag I took with me to meet my friend Mark in front of the Signature Theater Company. Mark just moved here after graduating…

Russell Crowe’s Apologetic Telephone “Slip-Up” Banana Cake
[Please note: This isn’t really written by Russell Crowe. Don’t sue me!] Ahoy mates! Russell Crowe here! Y’all remember me, dontchya? I’m the hunkameat you adored in Gladiator, you pitied in Beautiful Mind and cheered for in Cinderella Man. Remember that time I dated Meg Ryan? Ya, I’m totally tops with the ladies. Ok, so…

The 3rd Annual Big Apple BBQ Block Party in Which Our Hero Eats a Pig Snoot Sandwich
I had little excuse not to go to the Big Apple BBQ Block Party on Saturday: it was one block away from my apartment! Plus, I like BBQ. I was hungry. Really, there was no excuse. I arrived by the NW corner and was greeted by this pleasant sign: I followed the crowds and enjoyed…

Jitters, Critters, Where’d You Get Those Fritters?
Stella left a few ears of corn behind after the party was over (see previous post). I spied it in the fridge last night after coming back from the Big Apple BBQ Party (see next post) and decided to go ahead and make corn fritters. I used a recipe from the Gourmet cookbook. As you…

Stella’s Southern Cooking Birthday Banquet
Stella is one of my favorite people I’ve met while at NYU. She’s a true Southerner–a Tennessee gal–and she literally moved to New York moments before school started. Despite her love for New York City living, it’s been a long while since she enjoyed a true-grit down home Southern meal. And so since yesterday was…
