Chef’s Night Off – Sardines?
When I was a kid, the older grown-ups (the ones that still spoke Italian at home) considered sardines a special treat that they would relish when we kids weren’t around to make faces and sounds of disgust for the oily, strong smelling delicacies. Now, sardines, like so many of the treats the older generation heldContinueContinue reading “Chef’s Night Off – Sardines?”
Two Rainy Nights in NYC
The weather this past week has been less than attractive – but that hasn’t stopped my fellow wanderers and I – nor does it mean that Mother Nature hasn’t been putting on quite a show… A few days ago, I met up with an old friend from the west coast (sounds like the beginning ofContinueContinue reading “Two Rainy Nights in NYC”
Where Chefs Eat – Fatty Crab
I can’t believe what I’ve been missing all this time! If I had only known the wonders that are Fatty Crab… but now I know and I’m so much happier for it. Four of us (mostly chefs) descended on the comfy neighborhood joint, hungry, hot and thirsty. First of all, the place is not whatContinueContinue reading “Where Chefs Eat – Fatty Crab”

Lunch at Kokkari: Shaya Verdejo from Ruida (lush, stone fruits, refreshing) GrilledOctopus Salad Lamb Riblets Taromisalata with housemade pita Karpouzi (Watermelon),ContinueContinue reading “Day One: Lunch at Kokkari”
Al Fresco Nibbles
I think my inner gypsy went on vacation without me this month! For the past couple of weeks I’ve done very little wandering, I’ve done very little planning of new journeys, and I’ve spent most of my time enjoying the company of my family and some close friends doing precious little more than walking aroundContinueContinue reading “Al Fresco Nibbles”
What’s Up with Pizza These Days?
Today’s media review is in response to the amount of press pizza has been getting lately. I love pizza. I’ve always loved pizza, of all kinds. But still… I don’t get it. Some of my earliest childhood memories are of pizza. I couldn’t have been much older than 3 when my father would take me with himContinueContinue reading “What’s Up with Pizza These Days?”
