Stay hungry, be smart
This isn’t your run-of-the-mill sausage and pepps from CitiField. Though I do loves me some Premio stand, ballpark sausage. Remember baseball games? Those were cool. Anyway, my mom has been making sausage and peppers this way (with tomatoes) for a while and I have to say, I’m hooked. I have […]
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 […]
One of the questions I get asked a lot as a New York food blogger is: “Yo. What’s a good ‘red sauce’ joint?” This is roughly translated to: “excuse me, good woman, where is the best place to dine on classic Italian food, preferably with a flavorful tomato sauce?” Now […]
Not too often do I find myself in Little Italy, but I have to admit, I really love it during the holiday season. Reminds me of when I was younger and used to frequent the area with friends to Christmas shop (and food shop). We always ended the night with […]
Get the burger. There are much better ways to start an intro to a review, but if you take away anything from this post, let it be that. The burger is probably one of the best I’ve had in a while: brisket and short rib beef blend, Iberico Bellota jam, […]
No really. This is the best and I’m obsessed with it. I will caveat that this is adapted from the NYT Cooking blog. A friend told me about it and I fell in love with it. It’s so good and seriously, so simple. I think the only way you could […]
If I had to pick one meal to eat for the rest of my life…well I probably couldn’t do that. Too hard. BUT, I can tell you that out of the 50 or so restaurants I’ve been to in the past two months (seriously, I counted), this one stands out amongst […]
For those of you who don’t know this already, I am a Queens native. Originally from Astoria (yes, I’m half Greek) and then moved to Bayside when I was 10. My mom still lives in Bayside and some of my friends do too, so I hope that at least ONE of […]
Other than eating, cooking, and snarky commentary, I have little to offer you on Valentine’s Day. Even when I was lucky enough to be codependent and blinded by love in a relationship, I wasn’t a huge fan of anything about this “special day” unless it had to do with eating. So…this is […]
Whenever I hear the term “family style”, I hear a little voice in my head that says “don’t eat all day…it will be worth it”. Whether or not I actually listen to said voice is a different story. In this case, I should have listened. Carmine’s opened it’s first location on […]
