On yet another lovely Saturday date, the BF and I shot over to the Upper East Side to check out Southern Hospitality’s brunch. Specifically, their ‘all you can drink’ brunch, which I discovered too late was actually an additional $11.95, not just $11.95 for an entree + drinks. (In my defense, at Philip Marie, the charge for unlimited brunch is $16.95 and includes your entree. How was I supposed to know?)Despite that, BF decided we should do it anyway. Okay, that’s fine by me! We were pre-gaming before hitting up the Met anyways – museum browsing while intoxicated is pretty awesome, btw. [...]

A little oddly spaced, this Sunday Supper was during my spring break, so I thought I wouldn’t need a ton of leftovers to work me through the week – but then I realized I planned on staying home all week to work on stuff and actually needed to eat… First, I dyed eggs and then silly me, almost immediately made deviled eggs out of them just to munch on – I love these suckers. For the dinner portion, I made ribs, roasted broccoli, and the best damn creamed spinach you’ll ever eat in your entire life. Here’s a closer shot [...]

Through Facebook, I have reconnected with many, many people from my past. It’s a wonderful thing. What’s more wonderful is that a lot of these people have no idea how food-obsessed I’ve become, and sometimes, they post random updates on their statuses that make me respond OH MY GOD WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT AND WHERE DID YOU GET THAT I WANT TO EAT SOME – such happened almost a year ago with a friend with whom I attended SUNY Albany 10 years ago. He was surprised I was so into the food – BBQ, hello! – and gave me [...]

You’ve all heard of my fried pickle quest – I do so love fried pickles, you know – but did you know how much I love Justin Timberlake? YouTube “Plasticville” or his “immigrant” SNL skit.. or any of his Digital Shorts like “Dick in a Box” – well look, I love JT. Now that the hype has died down from his restaurant opening eons ago, I swung by to check out the place and see if the BBQ was well, any good. Y’know. Cuz I’m such an expert on good BBQ, being a NYer and all, y’know. As soon as [...]

A while back, I had frozen custard with Talida, and we got to talking about BBQ. Seeing as she’s from Texas, she knows a thing or two about the stuff, delicious delicious stuff… Anyway, she mentioned how much she likes Hill Country – which I also enjoyed – and then mentioned a little ‘secret’ about eating there for cheaper than their high prices. Get gift certificates from Restaurants.com! So, I did. I managed to snag a couple of gift certificates for lunch, valued at $10 each, and I paid $2 for each. Then I just had to find a time [...]
