Food in Mouth

L2O Review: L20

Oooooh boy, I hope you're ready. Jonathan is back with a guest post. Him and his wife hit up L2O and captured the deliciousness for everyone. Really, I thought I was ready for this and it still blew me away. It was like the 07-08 Atlanta Hawks in the second round of the playoffs against the Celtics. You could see it coming, I mean, L2O, this has to be good. But man...

Mamoun's Falafel Review: Shawarma sandwich at Mamouns Falafel

A long time ago, when I was still trying to overcome my social retardation (I've since given up), I found myself at this bar. Someone asked me how I got into food blogging, like what influenced me. Was it my mom? My grandmother? Besides the fact that I really didn't know how to return the small talk, there wasn't an answer. See, some of you might have noticed that I don't post as regularly anymore, and that's because neither writing nor the exploration of food tickles my fancy.

Trois Pommes Patisserie is a pleasant bakery in the heart of Park Slope. Normally, when the fundamentals of the economy are strong, I probably would be okay with a $3 donut. But since the DOW is near 10 year lows, I feel weird about $3 dollar donuts even if I could afford to eat one every now and then. The truth is I don't frequent bakeries and when the nice lady said it was $3, my heart sang a tune because it wasn't as expensive as Bouchon's jelly-filled donut. See that? That's pretty crazy when you can think, "This $3 dollar donut is 25% off from the more expensive donut!" The problem I have versus most other food bloggers is that I can't compare $4 dollar donuts with Dunkin Donuts and recommend the 400% premium. It just makes no sense. And even at a 300%...
