In January, I visited Sanford’s in Astoria as part of my 93 Plates project. The owner, Gus (above – His brother and co-owner Chris is below) was talking about some of the stuff that he was up to regarding the changes in restaurant marketing over time, and I wanted to [...]

Jeff Orlick (link) introduced me to Joe DiStefano, editor of the Edible Queens blog (link) and I was psyched to be going out with someone who knew what was becoming my favorite foodie enclave of the city so well.

Sanford’s was taken over by the Karelelas children in the mid 90s after their father had owned the place for 20 years. For 50 or so years before that, it was a mainstay in the community as a ’round the clock diner. Walking inside, you would never guess that it A) had ever been [...]

So I just got linked on Midtown Lunch (link) and I already gots haters! I love haters (link to Katt Williams Stand-up on Hater Theory). Of course, the aim of the project is to go to all the restaurants in the city and experience their cuisine with all the independent writers in the [...]
