Living on a ship for months at a time can sometimes cause you to miss certain cuisines. One that I miss a lot is sushi. While in the Caribbean I would go to St. Thomas, Virgin Islands once a week, and decided to spend a couple of bucks and go to a place I heard of called Beni Iguana’s. A...
Have you had these cookies at General Greene. I am not even going to really get into it. Go there and get them! They come warm, each bite has an eruption of melted chocolate chips in it and when your done they also have this ridiculous homemade ice cream to wash it down with. My choice is...
Last week I spent some time in Austin at my first SXSW conference. Although it was filled with networking, film, dev geeks and some amazing parties, I am going to focus on the best bbq in Austin for this post. In Texas the ‘que is nothing to sniffle at and you can pretty much bank on it...
It takes forever to get a reservation and it takes 3 hrs to eat once you do get one. My friend Aimee scored one this week and lucky for me her husband Eric was fishing in the keyes. I accepted teh invite and we took a 4 hour hiatus from the world to duck into the thin, dark bar that is Momofuku Ko....
Ant heads back to the ship tomorrow so before he left we had one more throwdown. Ant has this crazy attachment to Burgers. In honor of that, we headed up to Big Nick”s for some classic greasy spooness. On the roster was Josh, Serena, Sarah, Athena, Seth and a fairly pregnant Tracy. As usual...
Ant and I decided to have a brothers meal before he headed back to the ship for 4 months. We chose Argentine food to hopefully reminisce about the trip to BA we had last year. The food was ok. We definitely were not in Recoletta. But we persevered through it. Like all good memories humans try and...
Besides being the most watched sports day of the year in the US my parents wanted to come in for brunch. Normally I am all for this but being that I new I was going to eat mounds and mounds of food later, the idea of having a large brunch was off-putting to say the least. Of course I bucked up when...
This Friday we hit this restaurant Miranda in Williamsburg and then proceeded to dance it up a t Black Betty’s until Joe fell out, Marcella started slurring and I went to go make breakfast. But lets start back at the beginning. The whole show kicked off with some of this delicious sun...
Pork + Egg sandwich on a baguette ...
Marcella’s mom was in from Columbia…wait…maybe it was Miami….oh no…it was Columbia….actually,no…..it was on her way to India. She is an amazing woman as you might imagine. That’s a whole other post. Never-the-less, before she was off to her next...
Last Friday we took the journey up to Dinosaur BBQ in Harlem. My Uncle had bought my brother and I two gift certificates to the Upstate New York based BBQ joint and we wasted no time using them. It was a cold night but the idea of those super tasty wings kept us warm on the short walk from the...
For Rojeh’s birthday, Seth and I took him to Spitzer’s for a little celebratory meal. To know Rojeh, means you know that celebrating anything with him is like pulling teeth. Paying for the meal is like dragging a mule to a trough of organic craft beer. Seth and I managed. In the...
My cousin Mario is good for excitement. Ant and I don’t get to see him and Nikki (Mario’s wife, my blood cousin, that’s the connection) all that often. I love their kids, Meggie and Molly to death, they maybe the cutest on earth. I am sure that will go highly contested but lets not...
Mortadella, soppressata, provolone, lettuce, tomato, oil and vinegar. That is the V&S Special. There may not be a better sandwich in all of South Florida or, dare I say, Brooklyn. I know, I know very bold words. Well, let me explain. These guys are Italians from up north. They get it. They lived...
I know I told you guys that the eating goes on all week. Today is when it all gets a little more relaxing. Everything is cooked already the work is only in deciding what you are going to craft from the myriad of options. Here we have a fresh turkey sandwich with lettuce, tomato and mustard. On the...
Christmas day starts off with a bang, and I am not talking about a frenzy induced, wrapping paper ripping, gift mania. I am talking about food. For better or for worse, my family does not do much if there is not food involved. I woke up in my grandmothers house which is covered in Santa...
