Knowledge book

From what you know about me, it probably strikes you as odd that I'd talk about a $625 dollar product that I've never even seen or used before. That's ok though because the product in question is called Modernist Cuisine [Amazon link]. It's a book by Nathan Myhrvold, Chris Young, and Maxime Bilet. I'm excited to see a book like this because it's a book that is all about foams and a hamburger recipe that calls for liquid nitrogen. This is the kind of stuff that really irritates folks in the slow food movement (read: Alice Waters). The book is a six-volume, 2,400-page behemoth. Their aim is...

Ulysses Oyster Festival Review: Ulysses Oyster Festival

This past Saturday there was an oyster festival downtown by Stone St. I cannot recall any instances in the past where I consumed raw oysters, and this seemed like a good enough reason to give it a shot. Stone street was pretty packed by the time I had gotten there and the party was in full swing. For $10 dollars, they gave you half a dozen oysters, although in my picture you can't see the sixth one because it was so small it was hidden from view. Does that count as expensive or no? The line to get tickets and oysters moved fairly fast and it was only...

Junmen Ramen has a good bowl of noodles

One of the things that is really new about being a parent is the little things that make you geek out and have a positive reaction. I can imagine this is what life is like for people who love cosplay or bird watching. Before the baby, I remember there were times when I would feel proud over a lame-ass attempt at a recipe and Steph would lovingly tell me it's edible even if it was merely mediocre. Now, I realize that type of proud feeling pales in comparison to something like watching the baby do any little thing like, "He put his hands together!" And it sounds...

Store bought Taro Ice Cream

Seeing how as my blog is much less about food and more about whatever the fuck I want to talk about, I'd like to take a moment and say that it's quite unfair that Doogie Howser can be a doctor as a teenager, and go home and night and write something pithy in his DOS command-prompt journal. Meanwhile, I have no idea how to really look at my life. Thanks for giving me the inferiority complex, Neil Patrick Harris. But I try to fight on regardless of how 80's TV shows screwed me up forever. What really helps is to stuff my face with ice cream (to...

Coco Review: Coco bubble tea and price discrimination

Last month there was word about a new bubble tea place in Midtown. Midtown Lunch uncovered the new chain in Midtown East. Apparently the chain is from Taiwan and the prices are right for midtown. Usually bubble tea in NYC is priced outrageously compared to what you might find in the bubble tea motherland of Taiwan. But if it's between $3 to $4 and it's not in Chinatown, that's as good as it gets. One can tell that Coco Bubble Tea is different just from some of items on the menu. I got the drink called 3 Guys. It has pudding, grass jelly, and tapioca or boba. Google...

How to make ramen at home

Making ramen at home is difficult. The difficulty level increases when I screw up the recipe in addition to being a complete newbie to this. Mostly I find this to be more along the lines of 'playing with food' rather than actual cooking. I got the recipe from Lucky Peach issue 1, which is not being sold anymore. You can find issue 2 on Amazon now. [Full disclosure: I add my affiliate code to amazon links.] The recipe is simple enough, and I'll talk about it in a minute, but it really isn't as easy as it seems. There's actually only three ingredients, which would lead one...

Food in Mouth. NYC Restaurant Reviews. Dining. Streetfood.

I'm leaving New York. There are countless ways to say goodbye to the greatest city in the world and my limited elegance with words preclude me from writing something that matches my true feelings. I started this blog simply because I thought I could put up a few pictures and write some random words to go with it. What I got out of this blog was the love of my life and a son. You could say I got a great deal. Together we now set off for a place that isn't as tough to make it, and enjoy the family life with perhaps less stress...

Ikea Review: Ikea Princess Cake

I've been going to Ikea a lot lately because I'm moving to a different apartment. Don't worry, I'm not going far, and I'm still going to be here to write about food in New York and Brooklyn. Part of the fun of going to Ikea is visiting the cafeteria because that place is CHEAP. Honestly, I think it's even cheaper than Chinatown. It's really cheap as shit. What you see in the picture above? That cost $1.29 pre tax. Seriously! Where else are you going to get a deal like that? Who else sells Princess Cakes? What the hell is a Princess Cake? Let's find out! Now before...
