For those of you who have bacon on the brain, you might want to check this place out. The Red Cat in Chelsea, unbeknownst to some, is the culinary genius behind this sumptuous treasure: bacon tempura. That's right, fried bacon. Battered and fried bacon. Are you kidding me? I can feel […]

Stuffed Artisan Cannolis Coming to LES
This may be a little bit shocking of me to say, but…I don't like cannolis. I don't like the cream – I think it has a strange texture. I know this might make me an alien considering I grew up in Queens and 75% of my friends have last names that end […]
Pie Flurry? Mini Mac? Behold The List of Secret Fast Food Items
If you are a true connoisseur of junk food, this bit of information will probably be of interest to you. Slashfood has created a list of all the "secret" unlisted menu items from your favorite fast-food joints. This includes items that "aren't on the menu anymore," and I have added […]
Barros Luco – Chilean Cheesesteaks and More
I have been walking by this place every day for the past few weeks, and I finally decided to look it up..mainly because I have no idea what it is. Apparently the "Barros Luco" is a traditional Chilean sandwich named after the president of Chile in 1910, and consists of beef and […]
2009 International Chocolate Show in NYC
If you love chocolate as much as I do, you have probably watched Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory and thought, "Wow, I would love to own an Oompa Loompa." And then your second thought would be, "imagine…all that space just filled with chocolate..imagine if that was real!" Well, this may not […]
Get Ready for National Doughnut Day!
There's really only one way to say this, and I don't think much more emphasis is needed: JUNE 5th IS NATIONAL DOUGHNUT DAY! Ok, I could totally be making that up – but apparently Krispy Kreme believes it too, which is why they're giving away one free donut to each […]
Taking It Too Far? Enter Bakon Vodka
I cant decide how I feel about the food and beverage industry lately. They are either exceptionally brilliant or exceptionally bored. Case and point: bacon flavored vodka. I really thought we were done with the whole bacon-is-better mentality (and I am usually bacon's biggest supporter), but I just dont get this. I […]
What IS this GM Diet??
I know there hasn't been much going on here lately, and for that I apologize, but occasionally something so ridiculous comes along that I feel I have to address it. It's called the GM Diet, and if you're anything like me, your mind will go straight to cars. And you would be correct […]
99 Miles to Philly Open in Midtown
So the other day I'm walking down 52nd street and I notice that my reliable greasy burger joint "ZipBurger" has been shut down and replaced with "99 Miles to Philly," a cheesesteak chain from downtown. Needless to say, I was both sad and elated at the same time. I have always thought […]
Atomic Wings, PB Cups and Cinnamon Toast Dessert Club Sandwich..?
Oh, what a night. First off I'd like to preface this by giving credit to my friend Hal, who came up with this dish, because believe me, I would not have the courage to attempt this. And I also recommend you have a good dentist before digging in. So Hal […]
