Last weekend began my spring season of local wandering. Almost a year after starting this blog as part of a food blogging class with Steven Shaw (see the link to the International Culinary Center Foodblogging class on the right), I accompanied Steven and members of his 2010 class (as well as my former classmate, AnaContinue reading “A Tale of Two Sundays”

Tuesday’s Top Five – LA Edition
I’ve always been an East Coast girl, even when I lived on the West Coast. Even more so, I’m a New Yorker, and as such, I’ve been a little prejudice against Los Angeles for a good long time. For years my friend Amy has been trying to convince me of the wonders of life inContinue reading “Tuesday’s Top Five – LA Edition”
Where The Chefs Ate Tonight
(Note: the following is a completely unbiased account of a meal which we paid for in full, at a restaurant where we did not know any staff, owners, etc.) It’s been a while since Chef H and I did some wandering together.

I forget that my “work” would be another person’s fantasy. In fact, hundreds of people are paying a very substantialContinue reading “Living Legends, Part II”
Lobster Roll
A weekend way out on Long Island would not be complete without a trip to the Lobster Roll . There are two; one on the north shore in Riverhead and one (aka “LUNCH”) on Route 27 east of Amagansett. Since we are staying in the most adorable cottage with a lovely back deck, we optedContinue reading “Lobster Roll”
Finally, Part II
Ipppudo was wonderful. The problem with a restaurant getting a lot of hype and build up from your friends is that most places rarely live up to the stratospheric expectations. That said. Ippudo was wonderful… Not the mind-blowing experience I was hoping for, but worth the 45 minute wait at the friendly bar while enjoyingContinue reading “Finally, Part II”
