Here is a closer look at my 10pm burrito from San Francisco last week. Eating a super burrito and then going to bed is not the smartest thing in the world but I am a real SUCKER for NorCal taquerias. I’d do it again in a heart beat. ...
View SF March eat tour in a larger map Follow the food with this map Not surprisingly I was in San Francisco a week ago. If there is a place on earth that is my home away from home it is SF. Shhh, but I secretly hope to make it my “real” home again one day. My short, two year stint...
Lizard’s Thicket from Anthony Anello on Vimeo. Diabetic Blood Sugar Count Pre-meal: 114 | Post-meal (1 hour): 146 | Insulin: 5 Units This is going to be my last blog about my visit down in South Carolina until the next time I head down to visit. I asked Kelsey to take me to a southern style...
I have known John as long as I have been alive. Over the last 35 years he has been many things to me. In precise order here is the list. 1. The first barrier of defense when my other cousin Joe would use me as a barbell 2. The person with the most number of comic books I have ever seen 3. A rock...
That headline may leave some of you a bit grossed out. Let me clear this up quickly. These two activities were not done simultaneously. Last Friday night started out with my first trip to the Russian and Turkish baths in the east village. It seems ridiculous that I had not visited this ancient...
I met Cathy last year at SXSW in Austin. She was speaking on a panel about how to be a successful food blogger. Interestingly enough, this was before Forking Tasty had launched. After the session I went up to introduce myself because I loved her blog, we had a mutual friend and we called the same...
Diabetic Blood Sugar Count Pre-meal: 84 | Post-meal (1 hour): 95 | Insulin: 5 Units It was an impromptu double date. Jay and I took our women to a Brazilian restaurant called Rice and Beans. This may be the first time in years that this has happened. We both have to great girlfriends and lucky for...
Most of you know I love Valentine’s day. Go ahead, cringe. I get scorns all time time from friends and strangers alike when this inconveniently falls out of my mouth. Rather than try and convince you why YOU should love this day as much as I do or run my mouth about how choosing a Valentine is...
This past Saturday I was invited to the Red Star Bar to taste and chat with some of the best wing and wing makers Brooklyn has to offer. The Best Wings in Brooklyn Competition featured 14 of the tastiest chicken wing recipes Kings county has to offer. I was lucky enough to sneak in an hour before...
Ant and I went for a quick hit last night at one of our staple spots in the city. The apt on 30th and 3rd has been in the family now for 12 years. In that time there has been a swinging door of friends, family and randoms occupying the bedrooms (and sometimes the living room…ehhhem, Tim). ...
Last week was a doozy. Yesterday was no exception. Lots of eatin’. I ended the work week on a high note that took my belt back a notch. I don’t think there is much more to say that the video can’t explain. But, if for some reason you do have a question, drop it in the comments and...
We all remember being five years old and losing our ice cream cone on the dirty pavement because a gigantic dragonfly landed on in at the exact time you took a lick. Well…maybe not all of us remember it quite that way. What we all DO remember is the comfort you felt when your Mom came over,...
One of my last nights in Sydney before I had to head back to the states I really wanted to have some different meats. The two things my friends and I were after was crocodile and kangaroo. We spoke to a few locals and a bunch of them recommended the Australian Heritage Hotel. There is a restaurant...
After hitting The Spotted Pig earlier in the week, I found myself having an 8am breakfast with my new buddy Ken Rona at April Bloomfield and Ken Friedman’s other restaurant, The Breslin. Of all the standouts on the menu the $21 full English breakfast could have been renamed “Jason...
McDonalds Voyage from Anthony Anello on Vimeo. My girlfriend Kelsey absolutely loves McDonalds. On my last contract she was unfortunately not with me. Every time I saw a McDonalds it would remind me of her, not necessarily the food but of her singing “da da da da da I’m lovin it”. I decided...
I love the business lunch. I like the whole idea of a hot snack, mid-day filled with some marketing talk, some good yucks and an Arnold Palmer or two. (I rarely sip the vine, hops or fermented potatoes during a business lunch, just a personal policy) Because I lunch often, it feels right to cover...
