The Blue Mountains Lunch, Australia from Anthony Anello on Vimeo. Just out side of Sydney there are amazing landscapes to see. A few friends and I decided that before we leave Sydney we needed to see the Blue Mountains. I have always seen pictures but this was our chance to actually see them....
After 5 months at sea and with over 12 new countries under his belt (and in his belly), Ant returned home yesterday. Home for only a short 2 months before he heads out again, we made sure to start the eating immediately. My parents picked Ant up from his inbound flight, dropped his bags in Manhattan...
Burney Brothers Bellevue Seattle from Anthony Anello on Vimeo. Diabetic Blood Sugar Count Pre-meal: 116 | Post-meal (1 hour): 94 | Insulin: 5 Units I finally made it back to America but I am not home in New York just yet. I had to make a pit stop in Redmond Washington to attend our yearly...
There has been something bothering me for a long time now. Months to be exact. I have been around the world eating. I have ate in the dirtiest, weirdest, darkest, hottest, slowest, fastest, spiciest, freshest, coldest, strangest places I could find. I have ate on the street everywhere. Everywhere...
First Landing Resort Lautoka, Fiji from Anthony Anello on Vimeo. I finally made it to Fiji. This was one of the ports I was really looking forward to when I got on the Volendam. I have seen pictures of how beautiful Fiji is and was looking forward to an absolute paradise. We ended up going to...
We entered New Caledonia in Noumea. It was overcast and more of a city than a beach town. We were all excited to get to a beach after hitting a lot of ports that had cooler temperature. We were starting to get board and frustrated with the town because there was nothing to do. We found a restaurant...
Joe and I decided on an old watering haunt of his for a quick and overdue holiday meetup. Joe is an old college friend from SUNY Albany. The adventures that were logged over the years are far too many to list. On the top of that list has to be hiking the Sawteeth peaks in the Adirondacks, Halloween...
Way back in October I sat down for a meal with my buddy Erik Michielsen. Prior to this our shared meals have been complicated by me trying to keep 16 people fed and happy during one of my backyard supper club evenings. We finally had no other distractions and we picked a spot that would truly...
Christmas is NOT historically about giving. The modern day Christmas has become a frantic race to buy “crap” for people who you think will by you “crap” before the date reaches an arguably, fictitious, birthday in December. Today’s modern American culture has produced a...
I have ate with Joey almost as much as my brother. We started the eating parties back in high school and over the years we have chowed everywhere from Oyster Bay, Long Island to Buenes Aires, Argentina. Joe plays an important part in my life. He is one part sounding board, one part grounded Italian...
Tulsi & Babylon Kabab, Wellington New Zealand from Anthony Anello on Vimeo. Tulsi & Babylon Kabab, Wellington New Zealand from Anthony Anello on Vimeo. New Zealand’s capital city is Wellington. I wish I had more time to explore the city but I only had time for a little lunch. I headed...
I know you all understand that Italians eat a lot. I also know you realize that we dial things up during the holidays, particularly Christmas Eve. What I am willing to bet most of you have fell short on is truly understanding the amount of food that gets cooked, served and consumed in the course of...
Let’s get it out of the way right now. No. Mike was never on an 80’s sitcom with Tina Yothers nor was he in one of the best movie trilogies of all time nor was he in another hit sitcom in the 90’s. But, he did work with me way back in the beginning of the last decade when the two...
Well that was 2009. Was it good for you? It was great for us. Ant celebrated 3 times, once in Australia, once in New Zealand and once NYC time. For me, the last night of the decade started with a meal as you would expect. The leftover lasagna we housed at Serena and Josh’s was delish. The...
Burger Fuel, Auckland NZ from Anthony Anello on Vimeo. Apparently on Sunday’s Auckland New Zealand shuts down. I walked around the city for a while and everything was closed. I went to go and check out a couple different places to grab lunch and they were closed. However, on my travels I...
I can barely move. I am not kidding. For the last 168 hours I have done very little but eat. My goal to eat smart and healthy between Thanksgiving and Christmas succeeded but I find myself asking to what end. Since the 24th I have put an ungodly amount of food down my throat. The best recap would be...
