Friday afternoon in the Bronx

Mike’s Deli from Anthony Anello on Vimeo. It was a perfect Friday afternoon and two friends of mine had planned to spend the day at The Bronx Zoo. It’s been a really really really long time since I had been there. I actually don’t even remember it at all. Apparently that is where I got...

Dinner

Tequila, Beef and Rock

It was after a long day of hiking in Marin when I finally pulled into the alley that my friends Brit and Ricky call home. It has become a staple stop on my San Francisco itinerary and this trip was no exception. I first went to the wrong floor and knocked on the wrong door, a standard mistake with...

Mexican Lasagna

As a guest in the LeBright’s house they wanted to cook me up a LeBright special. Erica wanted to make something easy but something that I have never had before. When she mentioned Mexican Lasagna I was definitely curious. What could that be? Lasagna noodles with Mexican ingredients. Hmmm,...

Airplane Dinner

WOW. The third REEL TASTY dinner was last Saturday and we had a great turn out. A few familiar faces graced the table for a second time but the rest were all fresh, hungry peeps. It was touch and go moments before guests started to arrive as an evil cloud loomed over the deck poking its cumulonimbus...

Maryland Crabs

It’s been years since I went to visit my friends down in Maryland. I decided to rent a car and head down for a weekend to catch up. Of course we got hungry so you know what they say… when in Maryland… eat crabs. So we did. Actually we had all you can eat crabs in a place called Steamers. There...

Steak and Stilettos

As you regular reader know, I was in San Francisco last week. It being one of my favorite eating cities in the world, I was excited for the opportunity to check out some of their underground food scene. As I sat at a new swanky cocktail bar with my friend Biki the conversation turned to my Brooklyn...

Jury Duty

I got back from the ship in July and came home to a summons for Jury duty in my stack of mail. Oops! I called and they told me to come in Monday. This is a very long day of pure boredom, as most of you know who have gone through this process, and when we braked for lunch I thought I should treat...

Vegan Vacation

Thanks to my friend Amit, I attended one of the Brasserie Supperclub dinners. Located out in the sunset district we both made the trek out to this new Vegan dinner spot run by three ex-Vegan chefs looking to open their own restaurant. As many of you know I am not vegan, nor vegetarian by any...

Plumtastic

I had this plum on a recent hike into the Marin headlands. When I get a plum like this I freak out. I absolutely love it. To be honest, I usually wind up sucking on the pit for over an hour. Weird, dangerous and maybe a little gross but I can’t help myself. Why can’t they all be like that? ...

4th Annual Hot Dog Cookoff

4th Annual Hot Dog Cookoff from Anthony Anello on Vimeo. Jay and I entered ourselves in The Great Hot Dog Cookoff. It was a ton of fun. I had just come home form my second contract on the ship and stepped in as the sues chef. Check the video out to see how it all went down at the Kelso...

He lives in Brighton England, a spectacular, quaint, British beach town. He met me at the train station with...

My Proper London

Any trip to London is not complete without at least one fish and chips meal and one Indian meal. This trip, the haddock was fried at the Fryers Delight. And, a delight it was. Paying for Mayo and tarter sauce is never a delight. Why do they do that again? Gandi’s provided the above plate of...
