Today we met up with some friends at Smorgasburg, the artisanal food fair at the site of the Brooklyn Flea Market. My plan: to eat, drink and be merry. Their plan: to gaze in wonder at my belly and the fact that I’m not due till November. Because of my incredible size Alex and I [...]

Oh I wish that I was blogging about eating at El Bulli rather than just watching documentaries about it but since Chef Ferran has now closed its doors for good it’s all we got. For our first dose of El Bulli Alex and I watched the documentary ‘El Bulli – Cooking in Progress’ which followed [...]

Last week was Alex’s birthday, and as luck would have it I had been able to book a table at Momofuku Ko for the Friday night. Perfect way for us gastro ninjas to celebrate. Now I am not sure how much luck was involved in getting a reservation at Ko as it was probably more [...]
I am really throwing myself into cooking at the moment. It’s one of the conditions of my temporary secondment to the “home office” (the others include not spending all day in my pajamas watching Netflix Instant and studying my spin toned ass off). I love being able to plan our meals for not just the [...]
Thoughts on brunch
Posted: 10/20/2010 in foodTags: brunch, clinton street bakery, food, freemans, nola cafe
I love brunch. But, what I don’t love is paying upwards of $12 for French toast, pancakes or eggs. For that money I want real thought and fresh produce going into the dishes. What I hate even more is brunching with friends with everyone cooing over mediocre food, and don’t even get me started on [...]
Alex and I just finished a Top Chef marathon (Season 5: New York). Given how much we enjoy watching foodie and other chefie programs you’d have thought we’d have discovered Top Chef sooner but no between Extreme Cake challenges, Chopped, Ace of Cakes, Kitchen Nightmares (BBC America version), Last Restaurant Standing (BBC America), Hell’s Kitchen [...]

It’s been super busy the last week or so. Surprisingly busy for one who is currently semi-retired. The weekend before last we took off for an air show at Oceana Naval Base near Virginia Beach. It was a long drive down so we broke the journey in Annapolis. A cute colonial town that houses the [...]
It’s late. I should be asleep but I had iced coffee with condensed milk at 9pm, and then stayed up to watch The Good Wife so I am over stimulated and bouncing off the walls right now. Instead of trying to sleep I am going to tell you about my lunch (thrilling I know). I [...]
