  • Coffee Cake, Meet Your Maker

    |

    My brother stayed with me a few weeks ago and was shocked to learn that I didn’t own a coffee maker. “I am shocked to the core!” he said or didn’t say depending on whether or not you think I’m Frasier and my brother is Niles Crane. I remedied this a few days ago when…

  • This Juice Makes Me Want To Jamba!

    |

    Parched on Broadway isn’t a new musical comedy starring Treat Williams, it was my state of being yesterday afternoon after marching around from theater to theater trying to get student tickets for various shows and failing miserably everwhere. (I succeeded tonight, however, with tickets to “Shockheaded Peter” which was awesome and which I will review…

  • Oooh Flickr…

    |

    So once again I hit my photo limit on my .mac account and I was going to go delete some pics from the archives, then the little techie in my head was like: “Dude, you’re getting a Dell!” And I was like: “What?” Then he was like: “Oops, sorry, I mean: dude, use Flickr!” Many…

  • The Return of “On The Side”

    |

    The observent among you will notice that on the left side of the page now, above “Funny Food Films,” is a link that was on the right side of the page for a brief flicker of time called “On The Side.” Well it’s back now…back with a vengance, and a new banner (which I made…

  • Register the Register

    |

    Last week, I went with Lisa to lunch at Daniele’s Piadina which I had reviewed the week before. Lisa had never been there and now that Lisa works in my neighborhood (Lisa just took a job with Air America, located only eight blocks down!) we can eat lunch together more easily than we could in…

  • Shake Shack Squirrel Attack

    |

    If we were to draw a map of notable New York eating spots, the one closest to my apartment would be Danny Meyer’s fairly new media burger darling Shake Shack. I’ve been to Shake Shack before but I didn’t document it. Having eaten there last night, you may now enjoy this official document of my…

  • Elyne’s Chinese Feast (featuring the soon-to-be-a-hit film: “Elyne’s Chinese Feast”)

    |

    Something very special happened this past Thursday and I’ve been waiting a few days to tell you about it because it’s so big and interesting and exciting that simply posting it on a Friday would have been bad showmanship. No, I waited until tonight–Sunday night–so you could start your Monday with this dazzling account of…

  • Dan’s BBQ, Salad Spinner and My Favorite Alliterative Dish

    |

    Weather not permitting, my classmate Dan (of the theater blog Venal Scene) invited us over today for a rainy day BBQ with his lovely wife, Julie, and daughter, Ruby, who entertained us with somersaults and her overall adorableness. Dan manned the grill, and note the gender of my verb: Jason, Diana and I had a…

  • Foodie Book Reviews: Michael Ruhlman’s “The Soul of a Chef” and Ruth Reichl’s “Garlic and Sapphires”

    |

    Over the past few weeks, I finished reading not one but TWO books filed under “food literature” at Barnes & Noble. The first has been out for a few years, but it doesn’t make it any less relevant or compelling. That book is Michael Ruhlman’s “The Soul of a Chef.” Let’s talk about that first.…

  • I Say Unto You: Buy An Ice Cream Maker, Make This Ice Cream

    |

    If I had paid attention in law school instead of doing crack in the computer room and tearing pages out of legal dictionaries I would be aware of the liability I incur when I hypnotize you in the next paragraph and make you buy an ice cream maker. Oh well, I throw caution to the…
