I’ve heard many good things about Le Pain Quotidien. Things like: “Hey Adam, you should try Le Pain Quotidien—the sandwiches are great.” The other day I was walking past one on 19th street (there are more than one) and I decided to go in. This would be the day–the day I tried Le Pain Quotidien.…

I bought this Gursky poster recently when I went to the MOMA with my dad and brother. I really love it–maybe you will too? (You can’t really see it, but the poster features row upon row of candy and cookies…)

Believe it or not, I’ve read all 255 of your responses to “Spring Attendance.” I have to say, I’m really blown away by all the participation. Thanks to everyone for sharing your information! Don’t worry—none of that data has been used to build dossiers on you by the office of foodland security. If you notice…

A few weeks ago, Josh at The Food Section posted this recipe for Pistachio Cake on his site and somehow that image of the greenish yellowish loaf coated with nuts seared its way into my brain and flashed into my consciousness on a semi-hourly basis. I received electroshock therapy and I now sleep with a…

If you took a theater class in college–particularly one in playwriting–I’m sure you’re familiar with “The Empty Space.” It’s essential reading for anyone who cares about theater or writing.

I enjoyed tonight’s Iron Chef America back-to-back women battles. As you can tell by my Babbo post, I’m a huge Mario Batali fan but he was just asking for it in his battle with Anita Lo! Strutting around all cocksure–making an amuse with 5 minutes to spare–I wonder if the producers told him to play…

I know this isn’t food related, but it’s history related and I was temporarily across the street. Plus there’s my Prince song parody title which I couldn’t let go unposted. Here’s the picture I took: Just to ensure I don’t lose food blog credibility, let’s see how many steps it takes to get from POPE…

Did you love Free Willy? Then this is the link for you. Except instead of a whale, there’s a fish…in a fishtank…in Chinatown…and, well, I think you need to go read it yourself…

For those who missed it, here’s a glimpse of the hilarity that ensued when Lolita took over the blog in the spirit of April Fool’s Day. Luckily, I was able to pry the blog away from her long enough to get her to the vet where she was promptly put to sleep. Farewell, Lolita! We…
