Les Cocottes Review: Great food at Les Cocottes and they open on Monday

Before I talk about the wonderful meal that Steph and I had at Les Cocottes, I want to talk about a new feature that consumer camera makers should add to their point-and-shoot cameras. Plainly, they should add a feature where you click a button, and it'll tell you whether or not the picture is printable to a 5x7 or 4x6 picture based on clarity/sharpness. I just wish that sometimes after you ask a fellow tourist to take your picture, that instead of picture review, the camera shows the helper a message like, "Good job!" or "It's fucking 2011, and you don't know how to do the half-shutter press and take a good picture for other people on vacation? What are you, fucking stupid?" Like one day we asked this nice looking older Italian woman to take a picture for us, and she was playing hot...

Narcissa Review: I have to stop eating brunch

Recently I've begun to religiously watch The Daily Show and Colbert Report. Some folks say they watch every night but maybe one night you're tired or there's something else on Netflix and you skip that night. But I download them and watch it on the commute, so I really do watch every single episode...

Oyster omelet in Sinagpore

One of the snacks I had in Singapore was an oyster omelet. It's an odd snack for some but it comes straight out of the book of low-carb dieters. Don't want to feel full? Oyster omelet is just the thing for you. While my preference is for the kind I grew up with in Taiwan, basically any variation of this theme is generally good when executed in Asia. I've seen this dish twice interpreted twice in a western kitchen on some brunch menu. Both times it was an omelet that Bocuse would be happy about, and then the oysters were fried separately. Folks (all four of you), we all know that's a fail. It was a delight to try the one in Maxwell Hawker Center in Singapore. You put the oyster in the omelet people, and you cook the living shit out of it. That's...

Home cooking and food truck rant

Ok, let's bring the old Danny back. To ask someone relishes in attention to check himself at the door all the while posting three times a week and talking about oneself in the third person is just asking for too much. Danny is gonna let danny be danny so danny can take his talents to the Internets. Wow. I'm having identity issues right now. Even with that, I still must show you some pictures of my lunch this past Sunday. See, I went home for a weekend to Detroit and these pictures were of the lunch I had before coming home. This time, I was actually able to spend a few days at my parents house without gaining any weight. It's quite an accomplishment. Why? Well because Halloween candy go on deep sales starting next Monday and I can never help myself to cheap kit...
