Food in Mouth

Ippudo Review: Ippudo makes your taste buds happy

Ippudo NY just opened up and New York went ramen crazy. Eater, Ed Levine, and Grub St all chimed in with positivity. Early word from Kathy was also positive, as she told us, "The broth was gorgeous, full and fatty just so, rich to the tongue." Of course I had to brave the wait and taste this for myself. No wait is too long for the good for the blog! With Minca, Ramen Setagaya, Rai Rai Ken, and Momofuku Noodle Bar all in the East village, I think it is safe to say that this neighborhood has become the ramen hot spot for the entire country.

Food vending revolution

Full disclosure - this rant is really really long, and it's me writing just to hear myself talk. Feel free to skip unless you really like to think about how to make food vending better in New York.

Ribs that need a better rub

If you live in New York City, and you do not fit into the brownstone yuppy clique, you find yourself without a backyard. What does this mean exactly? Well, for one, if you buy a dog, he or she has no backyard to run around. But ee gads Brain, what does that have to do with taking over the world or even a food blog? Oh little Pinky, it also means we do not have room to put a BBQ grill. I see all these recipes for BBQ since it is the summer time, and summer time = BBQ, but all I got is an oven. And lucky for me, there is no air conditioner in my kitchen. Doubly lucky for me, the kitchen is next to the living room. Soooo, any time I want to make ribs in the oven, the living room becomes...
