Green Drinks and Coconut Water
Little by little, bit by bit, L.A. is chipping away at me. First: I joined a gym. Then I started cooking quinoa. Most recently, I met my friend Isaac (pictured above) in Silverlake for coffee; only Intelligentsia was so packed, we agreed to a change of venue and journeyed down the street to a juice…

Pig: A Restaurant
[Photo credit: Gothamist] We just saw a hilarious skewering of the food world at L.A.’s U.C.B.

The girl’s face soon lights up too when she discovers the gift that her mother so thoughtfully sent her way: a jar…

A Grinchy New Banner
This month, I’m “a three decker sauerkraut and toadstool sandwich, with arsenic sauce” thanks to the talents of Lindy Groening. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Win A Copy of The Serious Eats Book
Flipping through the pages of the new Serious Eats Book, I’m in total awe. It’s the kind of book that could only be written by a team of passionate, ambitious food folk–the kind of people who care very deeply about issues like “What’s the best pizza in the country?” (#1 on their list: Apizza Scholls…
