It only takes one thing to make me hate a restaurant. If you’re a restaurant owner, and you do this, I can’t respect you, no matter what else you do. In fact, when you set your shop up like this, it shows that you don’t respect me as a customer. You might [...]
I saw this store opening on Eater earlier this year and wondered the same thing everyone else was wondering: “Pizza IN A CONE? NO WAY!” and then lulz, then forgetting the place. Today, I remembered it, even though I came to this corner exclusively for Kyochon. I guess I got caught up in [...]
I came here on the way back from looking at apartments in Williamsburg (not happening!) and needed something before I got in line for the Lost Finale at Professor Thom’s. I’d always heard about this place as awesome. Ridiculous. “Did you get the Artichoke slice??” No, I didn’t. I felt [...]
Yes, you’re reading that correctly. I actually went to Domino’s Pizza. The national chain. The one where employees filmed themselves sticking mozzarella up their nose and farting on salami. Yes, that one. They have this ad campaign, and the slogan is “Oh, yes we did.”

Christo invited me out to one of his favorite East Village hangouts for breakfast. Toward the end of the project, I was trying to get writers in who I learned about after the project started. I don’t know how he found me, but it was very cool to hang out with him for [...]
I have been trying to up my google rank for the word “foodie.” One of the sites that’s been above me every time I look is Josh’s – NYCFoodie.com. Of course, it’s way better than my gigantic WanderingFoodie.com. I think Lawrence (NYCFoodGuy.com) is still ahead of me, too. I got in touch [...]
This is James’ second stop – the first one being Boston Jerk City (link). I know he’s more of a BBQ guy (book in the works!) but he was happy to join me on the second leg to a coffee shop. We didn’t get to shoot the bull as much ths time because [...]
