Averageness and breakfast sandwich at shake shack

When I was in high school and the first few years of college, the dominant instant messaging system in the U.S. was called AIM, which stood for AOL Instant Messenger. If you have no goddamn clue what AOL means, I hate you. Stop being so hip. But one of the features of AIM was that it was an extension off of regular AOL because the chat feature was actually what was most popular about it. Anyway, AIM had this thing where you could post a tiny text 'profile' or whatever you want like quotes or whatever. And I would always think I was this great emo (before emo was a word, even though now it's not anymore) shit and wrote my own un-pithy quotes about life. As a thirty-something now, the only un-pithy thing that I really want to write on my 'profile', which is...

Pierre Herme Peach Tart

One nice thing about the short time we had in Paris this past summer was that it was our first time there in the summer together, and summer means ice cream! After our delicious breakfast on the sidewalk, the most logical thing was to walk off the food and make room for more patisserie goodness. And what better to eat in the summer in Paris than a macaron ice cream sandwich from Pierre Herme? So we were in the Pierre Herme store on Rue Bonaparte, and we waited in line to order. Here I should mention that throughout our long summer vacation, I had been wearing the same 'breatheable' shirt because you know, it was pretty warm in Hong Kong, Singapore, and Taipei. And my man titties poked out from the shirts a bit. When I tried to order, the guy couldn't get my order right....

Alinea Review: Alinea tasting menu in pictures

Today you're getting a treat! A very very special treat from our eating duo (Jonathan and Grace) in Chicago. This guest post that features the pictures from Alinea's tasting menu! The man who's behind the genius at Alinea is Grant Achatz. He recently won the Beard award for Best Chef in the United States 2008. Enjoy the post! In 2003, Grace and I traveled to Evanston to dine at Trio for her birthday. We had heard the restaurant was worth the short trip from Chicago, but knew little else about the restaurant. The meal that followed could be described as transformative. I had some great meals before, but this meal would show me just how food could go. One dish in particular was unforgettable. The dish was a butter-poached lobster with rosemary. But there was no rosemary in the dish. Instead, the plate sat on a...

On Restaurants, Dining, Streetfood, and a truthy voice on food blogging

At some point in my life, instead of going to the school that was a five minute bike ride away from my house, I got bussed into an inner city school in order to learn English more easily. Little did I or my parents know, all I needed wasn't a special teacher, but just five things to learn English: Leonardo, Donatello, Rafael, Michaelangelo and Lavar Burton. One that thing I saw about the inner city school was that during recess, double dutch was a thing. It was never so in the suburbs where we lived. Made me think that sometimes, some things just are how they are. You can't fuck with it. That's one thing I think hipsters in Brooklyn love to do, because that's our on-demand economy. Disrupt some shit. Do something you don't normally do, but sometimes it doesn't always work. Such as...

France posts on Food in Mouth

If there's one French food item that I think should be easy for most Asians to really love, it's escargot. The reason is that escargot is kind of a texture dish, which you normally don't see in French cooking. Snails don't taste like much, I don't think, but they are transformed into something awesome when you add butter, garlic, and parsley in the correct proportions. Just like how a Chinese guy might order some tripe at dim sum, it's kind of the same thing. The item simply is a sauce delivery vehicle...
