How else am I supposed to describe this pasta? Just Aglio e Olio? BORING. I know that’s technically what it is, but I don’t care. I’ve had a hard day and this was quite literally the only thing that went right. Fuck, it may be the only thing of 2020 […]

Restaurant Marketing: How To Handle Influencers (and Avoid Public Shaming)

A Goodbye Letter to Bobo, My Beloved Cat for 14 Years

Whole Roasted Cauliflower w/Roasted Garlic Tahini Drizzle
First things first: I’ll admit I was winging the roasted garlic tahini drizzle situation and not measuring, but I can tell you that it was very close to my Tahini Ranch. I didn’t add onion powder, garlic powder, or cayenne in this one, but that’s because I happened to have […]
I Have High Cholesterol! Now What?
First off, believe it or not, I was actually surprised by this. My Instagram is a fatty highlight reel of the foods I eat (which will now be changing, deal with it), and I tend to feature only the gluttonous stuff. So you’re probably sitting there like “lol no shit […]
Our Retro Week in Jamesport, LI
Happy Monday folks. Last week was kind of a disaster for me personally, so I neglected this write up for a bit. Sorry about that, especially for those of you who were asking for the link to the Airbnb we stayed in. First things first, you can find that right […]
