  • The Top 5 Dishes I’ve Eaten in My Travels

    |

    CNTraveler asked me to pen a piece about the Top 5 Dishes I’ve Eaten In My Travels…so here it is, live on their blog.

    My Google Talk

    |

    Back in October, I visited Google Headquarters in Mountainview, California to deliver a Google Talk. You may recall the lunch that I ate while I was there? Now the video of the talk is online and I have to say, it’s hard for me to watch–sort of like listening to your own voice on a…

  • Check Me Out in Food & Wine

  • The “It Gets Better” Book

    |

    I just received an amazing e-mail from Dan Savage asking me if he could publish my “It Gets Better” post in the official “It Gets Better” book which’ll be published by Penguin in 2011. Of course I said “yes” and I’m beyond honored; apparently the book will also feature essays from David Sedaris, Michael Cunningham…

  • Two Exciting Bits of News

    |

    Guess what folks? This week I’m in New York Magazine’s “Everything Guide to Deliveries: New York Food Experts Pick Their Favorite Neighborhood Delivery Options.” One of my suggestions is based on a tip from a reader; so whoever out there turned me on to Tue Thai, thanks!
