Ben’s Best

The day I posted a review of Ben’s Best (finally) – literally, that very day – Jacquie alerted me to this video over at Food Curated.  Apparently, I missed out on a bunch of dishes, so I went back that very night to order that which I’d missed the first few times…  The pickles and slaw that come to the table when you sit down, nom.  First order of business: matzoh ball soup, which came in this giant cup labeled “Rx Jewish Penicillin” – heh.  I’ll admit here that I’m a terrible New Yorker, as I’d never had matzoh ball before that [...]

The Crab Pot

Directly following my trip to Peru, I left on a research trip to the West Coast for two weeks.  What was I researching?  Glad you asked: a book on Stadium Eats!  Um, yeah, without a deal in sight currently (hint, hint, anyone reading this who is interested!), I went to preemptively scout out the 6 West Coast stadiums and eat my way up and down the West Coast at the same time, starting in San Francisco, working my way down to Los Angeles, then San Diego, back up to San Francisco and then to Seattle!  Phew!  Tune in at 4:15 [...]

CSA Goodies!

CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture.  Essentially, one purchases a ’share’ in a local farm – much like the stock market, one then has a vested interest in seeing the farm succeed.  Dividends/pay outs come in the form of produce – vegetables and sometimes fruit.  Different farms do things differently; my farm happens to be also organic, and I pick up my box each week – Tuesdays for me – from a local location.  Join me on this journey – my inaugural season with a CSA – as I explore the various vegetables I receive and what I can do with [...]

Ben’s Best Kosher Deli

Ben’s Best and I have an odd relationship.  Since I moved back to Forest Hills, I’ve eaten their food three times – twice in one month about 2 years ago, and then I got so mad, but not at them, that I gave up firmly for the past two years.  I finally decided to give it another go right before I left for Peru, but am going to include all of the pictures.  The first time I walked in was on a rainy day after work.  I was tired and hungry, but I got off the bus one stop early, [...]

Citi Field: Bologna Sandwich, Giant Pickle, Seafood

Ahhh, my first official game of the season (April 11, 2010), and my first photo of David Wright’s first at bat!  Back to drooling over my man DW, back to normal!  (From October to April – especially after last season - baseball hardly existed to me; from April to October, we add another passion to the list and I obsess over baseball…)  I mentioned new food items for this season and my concerns so I had to check how those played out!  Since there’s now Box Frites behind my seats on the promenade level, I skipped my usual brief walk through [...]
