    Sneakily Expensive Drinks

    It happens to all of us at one point or another; we order a drink without looking at the price and then find ourselves startled when the bill arrives. That happened to me TWICE last week. The first time I was at Franklin & Company, a cute restaurant near our apartment that serves sandwiches and…

  • A Hunger Games Banner

    It was inevitable! But, I mean, c’mon–how could I not? Thanks to Lindy for making it happen and to Katniss for shooting my sandwich instead of shooting me.

  • The Salted Caramel Latte

    The Salted Caramel Latte

    At the new bakery Short Cake, I encountered a drink that’s so absolutely brilliant it deserves fireworks or a parade but that’s simply presented without any fanfare or fuss. If it were a Starbucks, you’d see signs all over the place advertising the Salted Caramel Latte. As it stands, you sort of have to discover…

    An Imaginative Feast By Food Prodigy Andy Windak (Mac ‘n’ Cheese Stuffed Ravioli! Coq au Vin Chilaquiles!) & A Roasted Feast By Cookbook Hero Molly Stevens

    I don’t follow sports, but I know that there are these people called scouts who go around to minor league events and look for future stars to recruit to the majors. Well, I never considered myself much of a chef scout, but that all changed on Sunday when food blogger Andy Windak–of the food blog…

  • A Dickensian Banner

    Did you know that I was in “Oliver” twice in my life? First as Oliver in my 5th grade production and then as Fagan in 7th grade. It wasn’t until after college, though, that I read my first Dickens novel (“Bleak House,” for the record) and became an instant fan. This month I said to…

  • Waiter Don’t Take My Plate Away (The Essay)

    If you liked the song, you may very well like the essay I just penned for Huffington Post. Check it out by clicking here.

  • Waiter, Don’t Take My Plate Away

    Back in the old days of my blog, I used to write Thursday Night Dinner Songs. Those files went missing, I got older and more self-conscious, and the days of food related songs on my blog were over. But tonight I Tweeted that I wanted to write a country song called: “Waiter, Don’t Take My…

  • The Eggslut

    The Eggslut

    Confession: Before Saturday, I’d never been to a food truck. Predicted reaction: WHAT?! OH MY GOD!? YOU’RE A FOOD WRITER AND YOU’VE NEVER BEEN TO A FOOD TRUCK OH MY GOD I’M TOTALLY NOT GOING TO READ YOU ANYMORE AND I’M BURNING MY COMPUTER RIGHT NOW TO RID IT OF YOUR EMBARRASSING HUMILIATING ATTEMPT AT…

  • Cupidity

    It’s a day early, but the new banner’s up and I think you’ll get a kick out of it. I play Cupid (hence my posing nude; don’t worry, that’s a pre-gym picture), bringing together three unlikely pairs Lady & The Tramp style. Thanks to Lindy (the banner designer) for pulling this off! See a gallery…
