Guacamolito!

You know I’m not into blogging about actual food that I cook. But I think my next big, blogable project is making this:

Produce that looks like junk

Chewy — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 15:19:31 +0000

Um. I’m not quite sure if this is suitable for work. You shouldn’t be dicking around on the internet while at work anyway, you unfocused sumbitch. Get back to work!

(more…)

Food that lives inside other food

Double seafood is fucking awesome. If you don’t dig it, you’re a Communist. USA! USA! USA!

(Both of these were taken with my camera phone.)

This is a nasty looking photo. It’s a stripped bass (head severed) with three mussels in it’s gullet!

Cleaning squid is by far my favorite task. I found this little guy inside a squid!

Trivia Night at Bar Great Harry

Chewy — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 20:38:40 +0000

It’s the second Monday of the month, so that means it’s trivia night at Bar Great Harry. 8pm. Hosted by Mary of Rocketship Comics and Pascal of Balthrop Alabama. Corner of Smith and Sackett in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn. F or G train to the Carroll Street stop. BYOS(nacks).

The eating habits of Satuday night diners

Chewy — Sun, 08 Jun 2008 23:58:20 +0000

So it’s a humid 95 degrees in New York on a Saturday. Every part of your body is sweaty and sticky and maybe even chaffing. It’s so disgustingly hot out that you are cranky and just want to puke or punch someone in the face. But you decide to go out to a nice restaurant. What do you think most people would choose to eat?

Light, (relatively) healthy fish with some spring veg.
Red meat: Fish is for women!
Risotto with duck confit: Nothing like a big bowl of hot, steamy, creamy, buttery starch on a hot as balls day!

Nothing says Summertime like hot, heavy dishes!

Next Food Network Star: It’s like (the food at) a mini-mall

This show is so shitty.

How shitty is it?

It’s so shitty that even Alton Brown can’t make it interesting.

Bor-ring!

Miracle Fruit Party

Chewy — Thu, 29 May 2008 03:30:26 +0000

Here’s an article in the NY Times about Miracle Fruit that was a cover story in the dining section today. Miracle fruit is a berry that, once eaten, changes your tastebuds for about an hour. Say you eat a lemon, it will taste like lemonade.

The article features one of my friends, Franz (who has blogged here before), who introduced me to miracle fruit through one of his miracle fruit tasting parties. It was like a food orgy. Franz rules and you should check out his project StreetWars (which I used to be apart of), the OG IRL watergun assassination game. It’s coming back to NYC this Summer.

Waitron Day Today

Chewy — Wed, 21 May 2008 14:57:10 +0000

According to Waiter from Waiter Rant, today is National Waiters Day. He urges you to tip 30% day if you go out to eat.

In other news, restaurant cooks still bitter about shitty hourly wages and resentful towards waitrons.

John-Phillipe is worth the 20+%.

PS: The waitrons at The Restaurant celebrated National Waiters Day (which should really be the gender neutral “waitron”, you sexist c-suckers) by going to a midnight showing of the new India Jones movie at the local indie theatre. I celebrated by cutting my finger and watching Top Chef. Go FOH!

Trivia To-night!

Chewy — Mon, 12 May 2008 20:32:14 +0000

Trivia night is tonight at Bar Great Harry. Located at the corner of Smith and Sackett in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn. Hosted by a couple of crazy kids from Rocketship, the comic book store. 8:30pm. Dogs and dawgs welcome. One scumbag at a time, please.

“Look, my gut tells me Backstreet, and that’s where my brain is. With my gut. They is roomates. But sometimes they don’t get along too well – you know they is always arguing about the bills.”
