A Sound Philosophy
This article about Joe Bastianich's marathon training sounds a lot like my triathlon training regimen. A man after my own heart (and stomach). Super-busy week, by the way, but managed to sneak in a meal here. Aside from being delicious, it was food-personality central, with the likes of Ruth Reichl, Alfred Portale, and Paul Grieco.

A Tasty Weekend
To sum up: truffle parmesan popcorn on the couch Friday night, Arthur Avenue Saturday morning for clams, oysters, pizza, tastes of cheese and salami, Sea-Topia on Saturday afternoon for Pat LaFrieda burgers, lobsters, fall cocktails and brownies, breakfast today of fried egg atop provolone bread with proscuitto, mozzarella and basil from Arthur Ave bounty, dinner

More Pictures, Fewer Words
You'd think I'd have a little time on my hands these days, now that I'm done with Gothamist, but alas, not so much. I ran off to Chicago for about 24 hours last week then drove up to VT and am finally catching up. Some photo highlights: Deus — the champagne of beers. Literally —

Into the Woods
I'm off to the 12th annual OJ this weekend (missed last year) for some friends and leaf-peeping.

Mea Culpa

We started with peppered pears with blue cheese and fried sage, moved on to crab cakes with a chipotle remoulade, spice rubbed skirt steak served with roasted sweet potatoes, grilled corn

The Other Side of Summer*
Am off to the beach for my final sharehouse weekend. Although I'm not sure the weather will cooperate, I know it'll be fun regardless. Plus the food should be pretty damn good, as usual! Tonight is lamb tartare and an amazing Lebanese spread, and tomorrow I'm helping a novice group cook make crab cakes, pears

A Plethora of Plums
As some of you know, I am participating in a CSA this summer, which means that every week I pick up a hearty batch of produce (and sometimes cheese and eggs) from Norwich Meadows Farm. Generally, this has been great — I've been eating fruits and veggies galore and I've been cooking more often. My
