Village Tart Review: Village Tart versus supply and demand

There's a funny thing about supply and demand, which is that usually when you have a lot of supply with a constant demand, then the prices will fall. Here, for example, imagine you're running a drug cartel, would you want fifty other folks doing the same thing, or more like five others doing the same thing? In that business, I presume that you just off your competition. It doesn't really work like that here in the food world. In fact, prices don't seem to behave normally in the food world. Last week I wrote a little bit about DT Works, the new store front for the guys who ran The Dessert Truck. This past weekend I went to Village Tart. So the city gets another dessert centric place. Cupcakes, cheesecakes, and cute little tarts. This city can't seem to get enough of it. Sure I...

Cheetos and immodium

It might seem like I quit blogging. There are some that would cheer, but the reality is that my absence would leave most of you in agony. I know, I know, try to keep the tissues near. But I actually was just on vacation, if you could call it that. See, it was a vacation in every sense of the word. Even though I'm prone to hating on New York, I've come to realize that I'm not exactly Dale Jr. Driving is a bitch and so is my GPS unit that gives me wrong directions.. Before I start talking about some food experience on vacation, I just want to talk about Cheetos because west coast be having all sorts of weird cheetos we don't got in the east. There are two kinds of Cheetos that I encountered in Seattle that I either have never seen in...

Hunan Kitchen of Grand Sichuan Review: Awesome Chinese food at Hunan Kitchen of Grand Sichuan

I would love to take David Sedaris out to dinner at Hunan Kitchen of Grand Sichuan in Flushing Queens. Sure, he might be fresh off of his trip to Chengdu and Beijing, and he might not be ready for the smokey heat of Hunan food. In fact, Flushing might remind Mr. Sedaris too much of China. Here I must confess to agreeing with him on one level: Spitting out in public grosses me out. Of course I've done it here and there when it's absolutely necessary. Who's a saint? Perhaps spitting is a national exercise in commie land, it's also fairly common in NYC though. Maybe Mr. Sedaris doesn't ride the subway often, but at my stop, it regularly smells like someone spliced opened fifty pig colons. Last I checked, this was still New York City, one of the most modern cities in the United...

Fu Hang Doujiang in Taipei

On the first day in Taipei, I was listing to my family what I remember about food. They asked me if I had any place in mind and I told me about a place that Nicholas said I should visit. Basically I told my cousin, I don't know the name of this place but it's like a dou jiang (soy milk) place that has no sign on the street level but people get in long lines for it. I don't know which neighborhood it is in or what street it is on, but I know this magical place has ponies. Immediately he was like, ponies? Oh, that has to be Fu Hang. I was like damn, my family knows food the way Bo Knows. I love it. We waited til the last day to try it because I hate lines. Finding soy milk in Taiwan is...
