Ice cream on the sidewalk in Singapore

Over the weekend there was a long ass unauthorized biography of Marissa Mayer, current CEO of Yahoo. There was a part where the story talked about how there were two competing ideas for the future of yahoo at the time and one was based on content and another was based on technology. One line from the story was about how when a technology company stops innovating, it dies. I kind of feel like the food blogosphere has been evolving a lot the last few years and it's kinda blitzed right by me. Sometimes being old school is cool though, such as the my brazilian friends, or old school dude on Orchard Road in Singapore. He's just slinging refreshing ice cream sandwiches in the middle of the skin clinging heat....

Marea Review: Fancy seafood lunch at Marea

Marea by Central Park South is a great option if you want to try something fancy for lunch without breaking your budget. Of course Marea is an Italian restaurant so you have to be in the mood for that. As far as whether it's a deal...

Des gateaux et du Pain Review: Des Gateaux et du Pain in Paris is awesome

Another post about Paris and it's about pastries again. Try to contain your surprise, please. When I wrote about the pastries at Pierré Herme, I mentioned that we would always try to eat pastries because that's the thing to do. Steph found Des Gâteaux et du Pain in the 15th arrondissement and it was pretty awesome. We were pretty impressed with the inside of Des Gâteaux et du Pain because most of the pastries in the store looked really enticing. The store was sleek, much like the ones you might find at Pierré Herme, and if we didn't have a big lunch planned that day, I probably would had gotten one of the patisseries as well. Can you ever eat too many pastries for breakfast? In addition to their dessert pastry offerings, they also had plenty of awesome looking bread products. Seriously, the entire row of their...

Sneaking in afternoon delight of cookies

Spare moments for doing anything personal is rare these days, but I think it's the normal progression of parenthood. One of the things is that you learn to sneak intimate moments of passion, by that I mean food, into any time that you find free. For example, we couple our strolls to the park with the baby along with a quick trip to the Italian bakery around the corner. This allows us the luxury to enjoy the park with a cookie or two, as we bask in the glory that is both the lingering summer sun and a napping baby. It should come as a surprise to no one that Italian bakeries are not in the business of food fads, but rather in the delicacies of tradition. We had a few nameless buttery treats. It's like getting free directions from a stranger on the subway -...

Fresh mussels in Brittany

One thing I have to say about small towns in France is that they look cooler than small towns in the United States. A lot of the buildings look sturdy and solid. The houses in the country side seem to use a lot of stones and concrete, instead of wood. As for the buildings in the center of town, they look way prettier. I like a slice of old Americana every now and then, but there's something about those old European towns. Just look at the city hall. Seriously, do city halls in the U.S. look like that? WTF, America?! Anyway, the trip into the city on Day 2 was to get some bread at the bakery and then some mussels. Can we say, sea food for dinner? In this area of Brittany, there's a lot of sea food to be had, and lots of fishermen....

Mast Brothers Chocolate taste test

Having street cred is pretty important no matter what line of work you pursue. For example, if you want to be a heart surgeon, it's probably important to not to be seen as some dude who fucks up all the time. Or if you're a pilot, it's probably good to have credibility and be reliable. For food bloggers, I guess it's all about having a good palate. Although I'm pretty sure if you're coming here regularly, you know that I profess love for things like McDonald's breakfast. So when Steph got me some high quality chocolates called Mast Brothers Chocolates as a present, we both thought it would be fun to test out my taste buds on these $11 dollar chocolate bars. It's 72% cacao bars made with love by bearded men, versus the big bad wolf. Hershey's extra dark chocolate, which clocks in at...

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 to enhance "understanding of science and advances in cooking technology." I like it. It's a scientific look at what happens to food when it's cooked. It investigates ways to more perfectly create dishes and flavors. Even though the...

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 a few minutes before I sat down with my own plate. When I sat down on a bench, the woman a few feet away just said, "Oh I just love oysters!" She then demonstrated to her friends what...
