    Ahhhhhhhhhhh, Voce

    If you want to know what kind of restaurant I do approve of, the kind of restaurant that embodies all I love about eating out, look no further than A Voce. A Voce opened this year to great acclaim. It was one of the “hits” in the NYT restaurant round-up of “hits” and “misses” 2006.…

  • The Real Mauro?

    |

    People are asking if the real Mauro Maccioni (son of Sirio) is leaving comments on my Le Cirque post. Friends around me right now say, without question, that it is “definitely him.” (Their reason is: “Why would someone pretend to be the son of Sirio? If they were going to pretend they’d pretend to be…

    Dear Readers, I am writing you, on behalf of the human race, to inform you that a famous restaurant, a restaurant whose name still carries great cache, is a danger to humanity. Never have I been more outraged by a restaurant than I was on Friday night when my parents, who came to town, took…

  • To Cut An Artichoke

    To Cut An Artichoke

    For months now I have watched Mario Batali cut artichokes on “Molto Mario,” demanding the participation of this three guests and charging that “it’s really easy and really worthwhile.” What’s infuriating (but admirable) is that he takes the time, each time, to explain the process to his audience. The religious viewer is left irritated at…

  • Thrillin’ for Trillin

    |

    Calvin Trillin is my favorite food writer. Every year he leads a walking tour of Chinatown as part of The New Yorker Festival and every year I try to get tickets and fail. I sit there on the Ticketmaster website and keep loading up the page until the tickets are made available at 12 PM…

    Labor Day Weekend on Cape Cod

    |

    I wasn’t supposed to go to Cape Cod. Well, I was. But then I wasn’t. See, when Craig told me I was invited to go to Cape Cod, to stay at the beach house of his friend Rob and 13 others–most of them film school students–I was thrilled to be included. A Cape Cod invitation…

    – First, James Felder (of Snapshot Artifact) doctored the picture I took with my cell phone so it looks better. Here it is: [NOTE: James fixed the photo again to be less green.] – I wrote this in the comments, but just in case you didn’t read it I want to tell you how my…

  • Five Things To Eat Before You Die

    Apparently this meme is making the rounds and in a crunch for content, here’s my contribution: The Amateur Gourmet’s Five Things To Eat Before You Die 1. A good Cuban sandwich. I like the one at Chelsea Havana, but if you’ve never had a Cuban Sandwich before you should find the best one in your…
