Ahh my favorite month! Just kidding, but it’s an important one. The toaster photo will make sense in a minute, just hang in there. I happen to be going through some shit of my own this month, so I wanted to share a bit about that in the hopes that […]

How To Reverse-Sear a Steak
I’d like to preface this by saying that I love this method of cooking steak and prefer it to most. I would also like to share that I am someone without a grill (I live in NYC) and I am lazy. Most of the time. So this recipe/method is perfect […]
Citifield Press Day! New in 2023
My favorite day of the year! At least from a blogger/content creator perspective. Because my other favorite day of the year is probably Thanksgiving. Any day where it’s acceptable to put gravy on everything is a great day in my book. But I digress. When I started my silly little […]

Maybe I’ll start a series called Shows & Sandwiches. I think it has legs. Not to mention my claim to IG fame basically started when I discovered my superhuman ability to hold unusually large sandwiches in one hand. I dubbed it the #sandwichclaw. Shout out to Anthony & Sons Panini […]
Best Pizza in NYC (2022)
I’ve written a few posts like this already, and I’m starting to wonder if I should even bother adding a date to it. Because at the end of the day, after all of my years eating pizza in this city, the top 5 don’t change much. That said, there are […]
London 2023: Food & Drink Recap
I’m one of those people who likes to plan my trips around my meals. There have been times when I created a spreadsheet of places that I wanted to visit, color coded by neighborhood and ranked by order of importance. This was not one of those times. This was my […]
Photography: Rule of Thirds, Explained
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 […]
