About Me
About Me
I live with my best friend, a culinary goddess, in the heart of the West Village in NYC. I am in love with food and love exploring the culinary world, primarily through all of the awesome restaurants in this city!
Interests
With regards to food: Fatty Crab. the Little Owl. (my two NYC favorites) along with sushi which is more of an addiction than a favorite. Overall I enjoy continuing to find new restaurants to explore + experience.
I get excited by innovative food, cozy, unpretentious environments, and by anyone following a dream (be it culinary or not) who is willing to go out on a limb and take a chance.
What I'm Listening to
I love music, even more than food...so this is tough. Favorites include: Ray LaMontagne, Z Trip, Robin Thicke, old school rap, JT, John Mayer, Matisyahu, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, the Fray, Snoop Dogg...
Favorite Foods
see above. The veggie buns & duck @ Fatty Crab are to die for. Other favorites: brunch @ Little Owl, hamburger at Lure fishbar, tapas at Boqueria, sandwiches from Columbine, dates at La Esquina, sushi @ hmmm...no true NYC favorites that beat Uchi in Austin which still is my #1 (although trying sushi in LA is on the horizon)...and the list goes on and on and on.
What I'm Watching
the Aleeza Gordon show on Food Network, it will be there one day :) On the negative side--I HATE everything that has to do with Rachael Ray. Outside food world: Prison Break, Rome, Entourage, Weeds, Dexter, the Hills (yep I'm a fan), Sportscenter, Jon Stewart.
Tastiest Libations
Employee's Only---everything there is amazing.
Always enjoy a good glass of red wine (and learning about wine).
Old standby drink: vodka + soda (zero calories, you can't go wrong.)
Favorite Restaurants
The best dining experiences have been mostly to do with the company. The other standouts all happen at Fatty Crab on Friday or Saturday sometime between 3:30 and 4:00 a.m.
Favorite Website Online
myspace.com, tmz.com, shopbop.com (the best fashion site---ever!), blog.ruhlman.com -- he's the best, and of course EATER.com--who could survive without eater?
Most coveted item
Hard to Get Reservation....come on now, this is nyc! (Still hoping for Per Se this spring...)

So...I went to the Big Apple BBQ yesterday to see one of my TX favorites, the Salt Lick...It made me miss Austin (and Texas in general) So much I can't even stand it.
The highlights were: Chris Lilly (from Food Network) and his Big Bob Gibson BBQ and the Salt Lick.
Low points: TABLA BBQ..Danny Meyer, are you serious? And Blue Smoke, again Danny Meyer...I love 11 Madison but this man doesn't know anything about BBQ.

I thought the whole event was a total letdown. (See my user photo? It was taken that day.)
Even the Salt Lick -- which was my entire reason for going that day -- was wildly overpriced and somewhat disappointing, especially after standing in the sun for 20+ minutes to get it.
And don't even get me started on the five-dollar, three-bite fried apple pies. When my husband handed me the wee plate, I almost wept.
