FOODSPOTTING • I Spy With My Little i
Foodspotting is a visual guide to food that allows users to share photos of their meal, locate dishes around them, and “nom”-inate the ones they’ve tried and liked. Finally, a socially acceptable way to say, hey, this is awesome and here is picture-perfect proof.
THE FRESHMAN GUIDE To Food Blogging
I BOUGHT A HIGH SCHOOL SURVIVAL GUIDE TWELVE YEARS AGO. Here, I present my own rendition of the Freshman Guide, but to food blogging. Turns out, the “groundbreaking tips” on how to survive four teenage years were actually basic rules for making friends…
THE BORGATA • Gamble Lounge Eat Repeat
What does a non-gambling, non-clubbing twentysomething do in a casino? Turns out that eating is always an option at the BORGATA in Atlantic City, as is lounging beside one of its five perfect pools. And, often, the likes of Jon Stewart, Seinfeld, and Conan show up to perform for you too.
EMBRACING THE “GOOP” & Midtown Lunch
I RECENTLY JOINED ZACH BROOKS’ MIDTOWN LUNCH team to write about, well, the best lunch in Midtown Manhattan. I’m super excited to cover ground so close to home and am also kicking myself for not trying $6 spicy chicken biryani from street carts til now. But better late than never I always say. Zach moved [...]
SHORTY AWARDS • Earning My Fruit Stripes
IT’S BEEN A GOOD MONTH despite the glum weather and slow starts to new projects. I once spent two months in a hospital bed so if there’s a prize for playing the Waiting Game, I think I’d win it. But while some parts of life have been dragging along, other bits have been speeding ahead, [...]
No Such Thing As A Free Lunch
I’M RASH. I don’t like the word but, sometimes, that’s what I am. I also tend to arrive ten minutes late for personal appointments and have a death-grip on what some regard as unrealistically high expectations. To top this toxic cake of bad traits, I’m guilty of cynicism too. For that, Conan, I’m sorry. • [...]
PLEASE VOTE • Why You Should Tweet & Believe
IT’S TRUE. I’M RUNNING A TWITTER RACE in the food lane. Why? Well, if there’s a tool I use more than any other to meet, greet, share, amuse, chat about chow, and generally make a buffoon of myself, it’s Twitter. On Sunday, I skimmed the food category of the Shorty Awards a.k.a. “Twitter Oscars” and [...]
I’M NOT A GLUTTON • I JUST BAKE A LOT
IF I’VE LEARNED ANYTHING FROM BLOGGING IT’S YOU ARE WHAT YOU BLOG. So when I wax poetic on brownies, deep-fried turkeys and show more interest in food than people, it’s easy to assume I’m eating it all too. I like the way my friend Melody of Gourmet Fury put it: “On the surface, I appear [...]
FOODIE is an F Word
I JUST FOUND OUT I’m a foodie. I didn’t always exemplify the word, but today I’m as foodie-like as it gets. After all, if photos and text are all it takes, then let me tell you: I rarely dine without my camera and Moleskine. Once upon a time two years ago, I recall “food lovers” [...]
Tasting Table Delivers
SOMEHOW I MANAGED back to Midtown on my own two feet after Tasting Table‘s Great Taste Debate at Hill Country last night. Good thing too, as all-you-can-eat events have a way of making me feel like I swallowed a whale. Still, it was a well-done evening with free-flowing tequila, a cupcake tower, whole roasted pig [...]
WILL WRITE FOR FOOD : Thoughts on Blogging
Chilled Watermelon Salad at PEACHES | 393 Lewis Ave, Brooklyn | 718 942 4162 I GUESS I haven’t browsed the web enough lately because I was pretty surprised to see that everyone and their mothers have a food blog. As soon as you’re swallowed by the black hole of adjectives in one, you find the [...]
