Mio Favorito

If you haven't been here, you're missing out. Artichoke Pizza has a couple of locations, but this hole in the wall is on 14th Street between 1st and 2nd Ave. Tara and I trekked downtown to pick up an air conditioner she bought on Craigslist, and couldn't resist this temptation. Also, they were apparently filming a TV special for The Food Network. Film equipment was strewn all over the street and the little shop, and crew members shuffled pedestrians around the sidewalk. Wonder when it will be on...

And many more!

Happy Birthday, Sesi! Went to a birthday brunch at Amy Ruth's (Chicken and Waffles) in East Harlem. Delicious... and awesome star lights.

5.00... what?

Five... dollars? Pennies? High fives? The real question is... do I eat two hot dogs or share my soda? 

I can has cheeseburger?

In honor of Memorial Day weekend, had a cheeseburger and shake at the Shake Shack! Still terribly bad for you, but oh so delicious. 

A Little Taste of Italy

Though it wasn't quite the same, had a nice wine and pizza dinner date with Carrie at Vapiano. And look - 12!

Cibo!

Let's be honest - the thing I love most about Italy is the food. You're really lucky that I didn't just post 10 pictures of food while I was there, though I thought about it during every meal. There is just nothing like freshly made carbs :). This pic is from our last evening in Florence, at a restaurant we stumbled upon near the apartment. I can't say it was our best meal... it may have even been my least favorite. But my least favorite meal in Florence was still ten times better than most meals in America! Hence my giddy grin. 

When did fortune cookies stop telling fortunes?

Pic #121 - 4/30/12

Before you ask, no, I didn't eat all of the cookies that housed these "fortunes". Seriously - not a single fortune in the bunch. If you're going to give me a proverb cookie, at least add a little humor to make it worth the calories. 

Best one I ever got was "You will get a fortune (cookie)." 

What about you? I foresee that you will comment on my blog and tell me your favorite fortune cookie blurb....

46th Annual Food Bowl

I admit - other than a few breaks for air, this weekend has been about nothing but FOOD! But it's Super Bowl Sunday, and this year we thought we'd try something other than the traditional nachos and wings.

BBQ Pulled Pork, Chicken Andouille Gumbo, Peperoni Pizza Potato Skins, and ... Beer

Who Needs Syrup When You Have Fried Chicken?

Chicken and Waffles at Amy Ruth's. It's been an indulgent weekend so far...
