Foodie Movie Review: “I Like Killing Flies”
The new Shopsin’s movie is everything I wanted it to be, even though it’s not necessarily a great movie. Kenny Shopsin is a fascinating person, to say the least. He and his family represent genuine New York character–real quirkiness that isn’t manufactured by studios who paint kitschy sets and want you to believe in the…

Hand of Buddha
So the other day at the Farmer’s Market (see Farmer’s Market entry) Josh made a Fruit Find that would startle the love child of Salvador Dali and Courtney Love. It was labelled “Hand of Buddha” and it came with its own mystical soundtrack. When I lifted it up a gong rang out and an ancient…

Oh, and PLEASE post more questions in the comments section!]Dear Amateur Gourmet,What, in the name of all that is holy, are capers? Are they animal, vegetable, or mineral? All I know is, anything I order in a restaurant…

The Atlanta Burrito Review: Chipotle
Tonight began a bold new endeavor in the land of the Amateur Gourmet: a comprehensive tour of Atlanta’s burritos. Since Moe’s and Willy’s are pretty standard fare, Lauren and I decided to try the newly built, newly popular Chipotle in Toco Hills.
