Brooklyn posts on Food in Mouth
The long goodbye is always the hardest. And while school happens and time passes, we still have to find ways to pass the time, and to fill our bellies. One thing that I know for sure, no other city in America will have the variety in Thai cuisine or the number of choices for northern Thai just a bus ride away from home. Even though Chiang Mai in Red Hook is still seeking a permanent home, it seems to have already hit its stride…. [Continue reading]

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 Ample Hill’s summer ice cream sandwich. It just wasn’t cohesive, and I don’t give a fuck what any whitey tells you…. [Continue reading]

With a target graduation date of May 2016, and a self imposed deadline to make things work, I have already struck out in my first attempt to find something that’ll be sustainable in New York. Apparently tech companies really like them uber nerds. To comfort myself in my absolute average skill level, a burger felt necessary. Not just any burger though, because I prefer writing about burgers that I have totally forgotten about from two months ago. Wifey and I were down by DUMBO and Shake Shack had one of those limited edition things that’s not on the regular menu. It was basically a cheese burger with fried onions on top… [Continue reading]

The other day Steph told me about a new ice cream place that opened in Brooklyn, and how it had started as a home delivery kind of service. They’re called Milkmade and the woman behind it even went on the Rachel Ray show, so I guess it’s a thing. It’s always bad when there’s probably housewives in Omaha that knows more about Brooklyn ice cream than I do…. [Continue reading]

Apparently I’m a dumbass because I found a way to fuck up my camera and/or lens. I’m not sure what’s wrong with it right now and can’t really figure it out because I can’t find my 50mm lens since the move. Genius, I know. Will have to either find my 50 or figure out a new workflow by sharing wifey’s camera. Go figure. I also have been testing the waters on staying in NYC. Here are my findings:… [Continue reading]

One thing that’s nice about New York is that it’s possible to get restaurant-level desserts without going to a restaurant. Dominique Ansel… [more]

One of the benefits of marrying someone who is very different from me is that there are new food items to grow to love. Kouign Amann is a buttery pastry… [more]
