  • When You Can’t See Your Food (Michael’s Genuine)

    |

    Once I was throwing a party in Atlanta and I had the fluorescent lights on in my apartment and my friend Ricky came and said, “Adam, no, no, no, turn off the overhead lights and turn on the lamps; this is a party, not a doctor’s office.” The lesson I learned then is a lesson…

  • A Lively Holiday Banner

    |

    This month’s banner is a first: it’s animated! That’s right, when you load it up (clear your cache first) you’ll see flashing lights (as well as Christmas and Hanukkah cookies and Santa wearing a chef’s hat.) Kudos to Lindy (the illustrator) for another stellar performance; and to Leah & Justin for bringing it to life.…

  • It’s Hard To Look Good While Eating….

    |

    I was hesitant to post the picture of Craig eating the egg onion bagel in the post below this because of a certain theory I have, a theory that goes: “It’s hard to look good while eating a bagel and cream cheese.” Nothing grosses me out more than globs of cream cheese on someone’s lips…

  • My Thanksgiving Plate 2008

    My Thanksgiving Plate 2008

    |

    For those of you desperate to see my Thanksgiving plate, here she is in all her glory. We were at a fancy buffet in Boca Raton and most parties agreed that as fancy as a Thanksgiving buffet might be, it’s still not quite as good as a home-cooked meal–it just doesn’t taste like Thanksgiving. That…

  • Have A Happy Thanksgiving

    |

    Either you’re prepping your turkeys or you’re prepping your stomachs or you’re prepping your turkey stomachs (Thanksgiving offal!), but no matter what you’re prepping: I wish you and yours a Happy Thanksgiving. Don’t forget to share your Thanksgiving pictures in The A.G. Photo Pool. Even if you don’t, though, happy cooking and, more importantly: happy…

  • I’m a Top Chef Hypocrite

    |

    Last week I groused about too much Top Chef coverage and here I am, one week later, and I really want to blog about it. So call me a Top Chef hypocrite, I can take it; the show is good, I can’t lie. And tonight’s episode was a good one. But I’ll just make a…

  • Too Much “Top Chef”

    |

    May I gently suggest that there’s a bit too much “Top Chef” coverage out there? It’s a fine show, pretty entertaining, but there’s only so much I’m willing to read about the first eliminated contestants or “Team Rainbow” which, it should be said, is now being promoted by Bravo’s P.R. team in e-mails to bloggers.…

  • Food Blog Methodology

    |

    I’ve been known to write essays about the art of food blogging, most notably: How To Start a Food Blog and More Blogging Advice. For those of you who enjoyed those essays and are working on food blogs of your own, I’d like to tell you a story. Monday morning I woke up and I…

  • The Best Broccoli of Your Life

    The Best Broccoli of Your Life

    , , ,

    |

    You know you’ve done something right with broccoli when the person you made it for describes it to someone else the next day as “better than biting into a steak.” Those were Craig’s words and they were a marked change from the first words he uttered about the broccoli, before he bit in: “You made…

  • Deliriously Happy…

    |

    …and proud of my country tonight. They’re hooting and hollering outside in Park Slope, but I just had to load this up because it felt incredibly appropriate. Congrats, President Obama. (Wow, that felt good to type.)
