All of that Baltic Sea seafood… the Swedes must have great sushi. Swedish… Sushi… Fish… Swedish… Fish… Swedish Fish Sushi.  I found this on This is Why You’re Fat. I am appalled and yet intrigued… and definitely know someone who will likey.

Halloween is my favorite holiday and it’s time to reveal my costume. I’ve been practicing all week to get into character and I’ve got bunny ears, an Egyptian headdress, an arrow headband and a banjo for the occasion. Guessed yet who I’ll be? He’s my crush of the century… Steve Martin!

Here’s my rendition:

A lonely witch once lived on ScaryBlob Lane,
Her cauldron bubbled and boiled but good cooking was her bane.
See, the pot was too black from the tricks that she played,
And tasted of farts from the elves that she once slayed.
She had very little trouble serving such gruel,
To the monsters, goblins, trolls, and ghouls.
They’d take their rusty [...]

I got a last minute invite to join my big brother and his buddy at Smith and Wollensky last week while going ballistic in NYC. They had some $400 gift card that they’d been wanting to use for a while. That seemed like reason enough to hit up the classic uptown meat palace. Here’s the [...]

Tasha gave me a little tour of Tipsy on Friday. And things are looking rad. Sadly, I had to head back to LA before I could sample the goods… always a good reason to return.
Cute exterior. Check.
Inviting front room with stocked bar. Check.
Cozy back room. Check. I didn’t want to leave.
And here’s me and Tasha [...]

I forgot that one of the little pleasures of living in the West Village is banana pudding for breakfast. It’s not debated that it’s the best from Magnolia. Sneak back into bed with a little bowl-full. It even goes with freshly brushed teeth.

Before leaving LA (first time since moving!), Taylor and I decided to do the most crunchy thing possible just to give me a little extra boost before re-entering the jungle: NY. What did we do? We went to a raw restaurant on the way to LAX! Moreover, it’s called Euphoria Loves Rawvolution! The place is [...]

Now that I live in LA, I have to find replacements to all my NYC go-tos… my fav burger, my fav cheap Japanese, my manicure place, my dry cleaner… and my new Thai hideout. My go-to in NYC was always Sriprapahi in Queens.  Yes, far out but ooooo so worth it. So I was stoked [...]

After a long business meeting/lovefest at Cube Marketplace last week, I was sent home with some frozen Roasted Kobocha Soup. After it sat in my freezer for most of the week, I was finally able to whip it out in a pinch during Game 2 of postseason – a game that completely derailed my Saturday [...]

Sometimes New Yorkers let things get a little out of hand. Actually, it’s more likely the case that they push things in that direction.  Such is the case with the recurring, “FergusStock” as Eater is calling it.  Each year, Fergus Henderson comes to New York and makes a bevy of dishes at the Spotted Pig [...]
