REEL TASTY The Goonies

It’s been hot in NYC. Hot like a prison. New Yorkers have started to act out. The heat is getting to them. It’s almost as if Manhattan island has become a maximum security prison walled off from civilization and they have left us all for dead. Ok, that’s a bit much. It’s not that hot. But, Brooklyn is typically a few degrees cooler so consider visiting us on the 27th.

It’s been a while since we’ve posted. You may have wondered what we’ve been up to. This video explains it all but for those of you who can’t bring yourself to watch 3 minutes of fun, bike and food content here’s the skinny.

Last year we threw our first Bike-In-Theater in North Brooklyn on the waterfront. The response was so amazing that we decided to bring it back this year. The twist is that we want to hit as many cities as possible. We’re starting with NY and San Francisco but hope to raise enough money to do a few more.

Yes. I said raise money. See, last year it was self funded and helped to launch the ForkingTasty Suppers season. This year we’ve turned to Kickstarter to help raise the funds to put the proper infrastructure in place and bring even more amazing food to the event. So, to our loyal fans and those of you here for the first time, please help pitch in and make Bike-In-Theater a reality.

Blaxploitation never tasted so good! Saturday, July 16th at 7:30pm. We have wanted to hit this genre for a while. We struggled a lot with choosing a film that would keep things light but not cliche the genre. Shaft, although fantastic, has been remade and is almost too overexposed to properly re-examine the Blaxploitation era. Others, like “Cornbread, Earl and Me” dive deeper into social issues. Although that’s a strong message for the genre as a whole, we still wanted to keep you entertained while not making that left brain wrestle too hard with the ideas the film forces us to examine. So where did we go? A 6ft tall, ex-model, international female spy who can kick ass, drive like a pro and fire a gun better than Rambo. Cleopatra Jones of course.

We know you guys have awesome food experiences just like us. It’s time you let ’em out. We want to unlock those pent up tales of tasty and share them with everyone. How? We’re not 100% sure yet but we know it involves a little eating and a little talking. If you’re interested in sharing your story please fill out the below. Keep it short. We’ll be in touch for your epic stories details. For now just give us the basics in 200 words or less.

For example: Last year in Peru, I ate the best burger of my life in Cusco, of all places, and then I was romanced by the waiter who took me to a house party beyond my wildest dreams. To his chagrin I did not sleep with him but I did spend the rest of the week letting him take me to locals only hot spots.
