Breakfast in Europe can be disappointing. Especially for an American raised on bacon, egg and cheese sandwiches with a side of hashbrowns. Luckily, in Amsterdam, I can scratch that itch in more places than one. My spot of choice is an old bath house that was converted to a restaurant in the...
If you are reading this the day it was posted I am in India. This is NOT what I ate today but what I ate back in 2009 on a day I let India make my itinerary for me. I chose to post this REHEATED today to accent my return to this wonderful country for a very special reason. I am here to participate...
Num Pang – NYC A top 10 sando shop favorite of ours here in Manhattan. It’s been a while since we knocked out a ‘Wich Hunting episode. Today we do it with the help of some new friends at Tastemade. A few ex-Yahoo’s and a couple others created this dope little app that makes...
Sometimes you just need to hit a breakfast hard and fat. Hill Country Chicken makes it easy with their egg and fried chicken biscuit. I know what you are thinking – “No cheese?”. Trust me you don’t need cheese when it comes to this butter laden biscuit that holds together the...
Cookies and cream donut. End of post, what more do I need to say… Of course there’s a little more. Chocolate and cream just work together. Quick history lesson.In 1908 Sunshine introduced the Hydrox cookie. In 1912 Nabisco introduced the OREO cookie, which dominated the market and...
It’s no big secret that we’re not the biggest Paris fans when it comes to food. Why does making that statement publicly make me feel like the Francophile henchmen are going to hunt us down and feed us fois until we admit France’s superior reign in food technique, presentation and...
In lieu of the of the plane I’ll be on in 3 hours, here’s a reheated from the last time I walked the boot shaped peninsula. This little hole in the wall, literally, serves up simple sammies on the freshest bread as well as offers a huge selection of wines by the glass. Here I knocked...
Dropping into Blue Smoke has become like visiting an old friends house. Besides Danny’s unique brand of hospitality and the frequency I’ve visited in the last decade, the place has a smell. You know that friend you had who’s house has had a unique smell? Maybe it was what detergent...
When you’re in Argentina the last thing you think you’ll eat is a curried leg of lamb. On the fringe of Palermo-Hollywood is an out of place bar named Bangalore. Downstairs you get beers and burgers but upstairs in a semi-secret loft perched above the bar the menu is completely...
all photos by Kun Kim Doc, this is heavy! It was over two months ago now that the Deloreon and MJF blessed the deck with their 80’s epic time travel tale. Let’s blame it on a rip in the time space continuum that caused us to delay this recap for so long. Truth is we wanted to highlight some of...
Maybe the thickest flank steak I’ve ever had. Nice shot of my over stuffed belly too. Plan your first dinner in BA to be at Desnivel. In the heart of San Telmo, it’s a nice introduction to a parilla without breaking the bank or getting to posh. All the cuts of meat are here but we think...
This week kicks us dropping a whole lot of Argentine meat on you for the next few Fridays. As we continue to post some of our favorite meals that never saw their proper blog post glory (The Reheated Project), our BA trip has a myriad of gems that will make your stomach ache for large slabs of...
In celebration of fanatical food culture hitting overdrive and the onslaught of Italian-American reality shows putting us batchagaloop’s temporarily in vogue, we thought we’d contribute to both with our own little creation, The ‘Roni Roll. Obviously inspired by the now famed Ramen...
You land in Iceland off a red eye. The sun is barely awake. It’s January and all you can see out the plane window is baron white tundra. The ambian and shot of merlot is still running through your system but you muster the energy to grab your carry on bag and make it off the airplane. Ninety...
I love spaghetti carbonara BUT don’t order it here. You come here for the antipasti. A myriad of delicious, most of it sitting in excellent olive oil awaiting you to snap it up and add it to your plate of over zealous appetizers, awaits just inside the 100 year old doors off Campo di Fiori....
Perfectly fried chicken. After all that’s what it is. In this country we think of fried chicken as a totally different thing. In Italy they think of fried chicken as an equally indulgent dish. Although I have a love for american style nothing beats the Italian’s pounded, double breaded...
