Where gluttony is no longer a sin.
The difference between a good Italian restaurant and a great Italian restaurant? Consistency. And a damn good sauce. Carbone is one of those places that never stops being good; every time I come here, no matter the day, hour, or season, it’s good. Ok, it’s very good. When you sit […]
If you’re wondering, it’s pronounced “meh-shu-gen-uh” and it means “crazy” in Yiddish. I’ll be totally honest, I’m half-Jewish and I was pronouncing it like “Michigan” until I saw the Israeli-inspired menu and put two and two together. Nothing gets by me!

Again, apologies for the delay on this one…I’ve been behind on life. A lot of you have asked for a roundup of the places I visited in Seattle, so here you go! Please keep in mind, I was only there for 3 days and my knee was REALLY bad at […]
I’d like to preface this entire post by saying that I kind of hate dating. But I’ve done it. A lot, unfortunately. So…maybe this post should be titled “Best First Date Bars in NYC for People Who Hate Dating”. …I’ll consider it. Anyway. I have been to all of the […]

Is there anything more fun-sounding than “taco night”? I don’t know about you, but when I hear that, I immediately get excited. Thoughts of ground beef, chorizo, guac and queso dancing through my head. I’ve partnered with Cacique® to help you prepare for taco night the right way! One Two […]
YOU GUYS. I made this thing and it was so beautiful I almost couldn’t eat it. Emphasis on “almost”. I’m not completely insane. Anyway, I’ve been relishing the last few weeks of summer tomatoes and decided to try making a Tomato Tarte Tatin because it’s been on my list of […]
I say this a lot, but it doesn’t make it any less true: I’m somewhat jaded to the NYC food scene. Before you judge me, let me explain. When you’ve been doing this for as many years as I have, it can be hard to maintain enthusiasm, especially in a […]
