  • More Iron Chef Musings

    I enjoyed tonight’s Iron Chef America back-to-back women battles. As you can tell by my Babbo post, I’m a huge Mario Batali fan but he was just asking for it in his battle with Anita Lo! Strutting around all cocksure–making an amuse with 5 minutes to spare–I wonder if the producers told him to play…

  • (This Is What It Looks Like) When Popes Die

    I know this isn’t food related, but it’s history related and I was temporarily across the street. Plus there’s my Prince song parody title which I couldn’t let go unposted. Here’s the picture I took: Just to ensure I don’t lose food blog credibility, let’s see how many steps it takes to get from POPE…

    Did you love Free Willy? Then this is the link for you. Except instead of a whale, there’s a fish…in a fishtank…in Chinatown…and, well, I think you need to go read it yourself…

  • Order is Restored

    For those who missed it, here’s a glimpse of the hilarity that ensued when Lolita took over the blog in the spirit of April Fool’s Day. Luckily, I was able to pry the blog away from her long enough to get her to the vet where she was promptly put to sleep. Farewell, Lolita! We…

  • Back to BABBO

    Babbo is located on Waverly between 6th Avenue and Washington Square West and I walk past it several times a week on my way back home from school. Every time I pass it my body tingles a little the way your body tingles when you see someone attractive through a train window pulling away from…

  • The Answers

    Here are the answers to the Bouillabaisse game. No one got all five, but two people got four: Gretchen and Emily. Good job, Gretchen and Emily! You only missed the first one, which was tough… here they are: 1. Alice B. Toklas 2. Ina Garten (Barefoot Contessa) 3. Julia Child 4. Moi 5. Anthony Bourdain…

  • Five Prefaces to Bouillabaisse: A Game

    I just watched 32 Short Films About Glenn Gould while reading a certain famous cookbook (I’m a multi-tasker) and I came up with a game called “Five Prefaces to Bouillabaisse.” Here’s how it works. In a moment, I will type out five prefaces to Bouillabaisse. Four of them come from either famous cookbooks or famous…
