I had a new intern/assistant start with me last week, and we went on a photoshoot together at La Pecora Bianca in Bryant Park (wonderful Italian food, and one of my first clients back when I started my biz in 2018). While we were there, we discussed various food photography […]

4 Charles Prime Rib: Burger or French Dip?
This original post is from my Substack Newsletter, Musings of a Misfit Creative. Sign up for that here! I won’t always double post them, but this one felt fitting for the blog too. Enjoy. It’s a tricky question, but first you might be asking: who the hell is thinking about […]
Where to Eat Near: Rockefeller Center and Lincoln Center
A ton of people have been reaching out to me on Instagram recently asking for these suggestions! Certainly appropriate for the holidays since they are big on tourism (let’s not forget the giant tree in the middle of Rock Center), and they’re both “centers”, which is fun. Not going to […]
Pantry Pasta – Spaghetti w/Garlic, Olive Oil & Tomato Paste
I make this pasta all the time. To the point where people ask if I make anything else to share on my Instagram stories. In my defense, it’s just so damn easy. It’s essentially the Garlic/Olive Oil pasta from the movie Chef, which I’ve posted already a while ago, but […]
That Time I Worked for Pfizer (and Started This Blog)
Many people ask me how I started this blog and why, and I don’t think I’ve ever actually discussed it. If I did, I sure as shit don’t remember, so might as well talk about it now while it’s top of mind. Lest I forget again in a few minutes. […]
Naxos, Greece 2021: Where I Stayed, Where I Ate (and Partied)
If you read my post on Paros, you’ll know that this was my first time in Naxos. I feel weird calling these posts a “travel guide” when I’ve only visited once, ya know? Feels like not nearly enough visits to call myself an expert. So instead, I’m saying “here’s what […]
Paros, Greece 2021: Where I Stayed, Where I Ate (and Partied)
It’s taken me a minute to actually get to this post, so for anyone reading this, thank you for your patience! Greece is one of my favorite places to visit, but this was my first time in Paros (and Naxos), so this isn’t so much my “recommendations” as much as […]
Ace’s Pizza – Williamsburg, BK
For those of you who are new here, hi. Hello. I love pizza. I have it tattooed on my arm, to give you some more context. Pizza is the food that I can eat pretty much any time of day, and I never ever get sick of it. I can […]
Chicken Cutlet Sandwiches with Lemon-Basil Mayo
For me, few things are more enjoyable to eat than a simple chicken cutlet sandwich. Perfectly fried with those crisp, salty edges, topped off with lettuce, tomato, thinly sliced red onion, and in this case, lemon-basil mayo. How can you not love that? I’m fine with regular mayo honestly, but […]
Meatball Parm Phyllo Cups (Meatless)
Before I dive in, let me preface this by saying that you don’t have to use frozen meatballs for this, and you sure as shit don’t have to use meatless meatballs. I just have to watch my meat intake for health purposes, so here we are. THAT SAID. I’m not […]
