I love food.

  • Website
  • Location: Jersey City, NJ
  • Favorite foods: To quote Chef Eric Ziebold of CityZen, the four main food groups: "pork, fat, salt, and burgundy."
  • Last bite on earth: A subo of the second to last piece of chicharon bulaklak with some plain white rice. Taking the last piece is blasphemous.

NYC Events for the Weekend (and Beyond)

Saturday is also the NYC Dumpling Festival! =)

Taco Thursdays: El Gallo Azteca, Staten Island

Wow, this does look very promising. Looks like I'll be making a trip out to Staten Island soon! I've been craving tacos al pastor for a couple days now...

Thanks for the article!

Koreatown Fried Chicken Faceoff: Mad for Chicken and Kyochon

I've been to Mad for Chicken twice since they lost the franchise, and I've been to Bon Chon in Fort Lee and Bon Chon on 38th a half dozen times since then as well.

To me, Mad for Chicken tastes and feels significantly different. The skin was not as shatteringly crispy, the meat was a bit slimy, and the soy-garlic sauce had a little more spice than usual.

However, the two Bon Chons that I frequent are consistently wonderful.

Dear AHT: No Love for Shake Shack

Ah sorry, can't relate to this one.

Everyone who I've brought to Shake Shack has loved it...

It stinks Peter L got a bad burger there. What exactly was wrong with it, Peter L?

This Week in 'New York Times' Food News

Hahaha, I love the "Breaking News" story

The Issues of Street Vending Today

When asked about possible solutions, Mr. Basinsky certainly gave his answer a lot of thought before responding. Even after he started speaking, he seemed a bit hesitant. It's definitely a tough situation because of the sheer quantity and variety of street vendors (and not just food) in New York City. NYC Street Food Panel Discussion II, perhaps?

Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Two Peter Luger Steaks

Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Two Peter Luger Steaks

Hanger steak, for sure!

Win Tickets to Thomas Keller Event This Weekend

Definitely turkey sandwiches when I was in grammar school! haha

Grant Achatz and Nathan Myhrvold Talk Food and Technology

A great recap of the night. I wish that they were allowed to linger on some of the questions because I feel as though they had so much more to say about everything.

Also, there was a quote by Michael Pollan that was taken out of context that I wish they could have spoken about in context about eating foods one's grandmother cout recognize. That guideline by Pollan seems more trouble than it's worth because I've heard many people take it out of context.

If anyone is interested, here are some of my pictures from the night, and my own recap:

In Videos: How the Shake Shack Makes Its Burgers

The Shake Shack burger is my favorite in the city, but I still can't forgive them for not having fried onions, an essential part of my all time favorite burger.

The Shake Shack burger comes pretty damn close in every other respect though.

Thanks for posting this!

Grant Achatz, Nathan Myhrvold to Talk Science and Food at NYPL

thanks for the heads up! I'll be there!

Serious Eats Stickers Need a Good Home

May I just pass by Serious Eats HQ? I'm in the area.

Photo of the Day: Elephant Spout on Oil Bottle

My mind IS totally blown. I MUST have this grapeseed oil bottle.

Photo of the Day: What Gordon Bought at Ikea

hahahahha awesome!

I definitely see it.

Before I read the caption for this picture, I was trying to figure out why this was food related, and I thought of a man running home with groceries, excited to cook dinner.

Watermelon man is so much better though.

Let's talk duck fat... YUM... What's your fantasy recipe?

I second meascanbe's recipe, definitely.

Food Blog Name Suggestions

This is one my friend suggested to me when I first started up my blog:

Blogaghanoush

Shout out to Therese Bailey in Jersey City haha.

A bit complicated to spell, but very funny I think.

Cooking by Sound -- Anyone?

The sound of the smoke alarm definitely tells me if my food is slightly overdone.

Dinner Tonight: Blumenthal’s Roast Potatoes

These kinds of recipes are why I really enjoy the Paupered Chef blog.

News Spread: Cipriani to Lose Liquor; Ed Loses Cheesecake

I'm going to miss Mei Lai Wah so much. Every time my family and I go to Chinatown, we always bring home siopao and siomai from there. We'll definitely be bitter about its closing for a long time.

Life Without the Momofuku Pork Bun

Now I know where I'm going for lunch tomorrow afternoon.

Top 10 Awesome Nostalgic Foods We Want Back

I'm not sure if they discontinued these chips, but I definitely don't see them anymore around me, but I used to really like the Doritos 3D's...

Ticket Giveaway: Japanese Food and Drink Demo and Tasting

Definitely yakitori, because it exemplifies the simplicity of Japanese cuisine: good, fresh chicken meat and offal with just the right amount of seasoning to bring out the chickeny or livery or hearty flavor.

Video of the Day: Charlie Rose Interviews Thomas Keller

Thanks for this! I'm a huge Thomas Keller fan, way beyond normal limits.

Bourdain Rants About the Food Network

Hahaha I couldn't stop laughing.

I definitely have a list of people I would love to see on food television, but that's just a who's who of culinary giants whose food or thoughts about food I admire.

I would love to see an uncensored interview.

Souvenir from Paris

My friend is going to Paris for Thanksgiving and she asked me what she could get for me.

I love food and drink and I would love for her to bring back something amazing without being too much of a burden for her to buy/obtain/transport. Any ideas?
