Casting a little flavor (and a few aspersions) on the world of food, drink, and life

Bawlamer, Merlin – Days 9 & 10

“I would never want to live anywhere but Baltimore. You can look far and wide, but you’ll never discover a stranger city with such extreme style. It’s as if every eccentric in the South decided to move north, ran out of gas in Baltimore, and decided to stay.” – John Waters, film writer and director… Read More Bawlamer, Merlin – Days 9 & 10

NYC Whirlwind Day 8 and Out…

So this is it, the last post on my NYC visit this year. I had fun with the folks I got to see, though I must admit, I was frustrated by the number of people I didn’t get to see – partially due to the short visit, partially due to my training schedule, partially due… Read More NYC Whirlwind Day 8 and Out…

NYC Whirlwind Day 7

It’s pretty, isn’t it? Visually I suppose it doesn’t have a one-two punch kind of impact, but flavor-wise, it sure does. This is the much talked about fusilli with red wine braised baby octopus and bone marrow at Marea, 240 Central Park South. Another spot I was wondering if it would be hard to get… Read More NYC Whirlwind Day 7

NYC Whirlwind Day 6

I’m tempted to just leave the photo as is and not comment, but that’s not me, ya know? So, the other day, I tried to go to Motorino, 349 E. 12th St, and found them closed on a busy Saturday afternoon, when the streets were full of people. Yesterday, just passing by at lunchtime, I… Read More NYC Whirlwind Day 6

NYC Whirlwind Day 5

For several years while in Buenos Aires I used to read about the adventures of Layne Mosler, the Taxi Gourmet. They say that every good blog has some sort of gimmick, or core point of view, and hers was definitely something different – she’d hop into a cab and basically tell the cab driver to… Read More NYC Whirlwind Day 5

NYC Whirlwind Day 4

Plan A was for dim sum yesterday noonish. But then I spotted a poster for the Turkish Days Festival on 41st Street and thought that might be a fun place to start – depending on how good and how much food there was, we could move on to dim sum or not. Turned out not,… Read More NYC Whirlwind Day 4

NYC Whirlwind Day 3

So here, the things about the whole Twitter/Facebook come join me for lunch or dinner if you’re hanging around and feel like it. If you go to the trouble to tell me you’re coming, come, especially since most of you who are responding are friends that I’ve known for years. I didn’t fly up from… Read More NYC Whirlwind Day 3

NYC Whirlwind 2

So I’m standing in front of the restaurant, waiting for my lunch companions (who never showed – casting a slight pall on my facebook/twitter dining experiment – though I quickly got over it and will forge ahead), and people keep coming up to the corner and snapping photos of the place. A couple of tour… Read More NYC Whirlwind 2
