New section on my blog: Food in the News. I’ll post links to articles/podcasts about food that I find interesting! Yay!
Deep Fry and Don’t Forget the Stick is a NYT article that talks about the craze of deep-fried anything (alligator, grapes) and how people like to eat food off of a stick. I feel like [...]

I wasn’t too impressed with Kati Roll and an editor from work told me to check out Roomali. Roomali’s wraps were so much better.
I got a paneer tikka roll, and an aloo/chunna pakora (potato/chickpea fritter) roll. What really makes Roomali stand out is its chutney. It is authentic, wet, fresh coriander chutney with a subtle [...]

Scholastic had its banquet dinner for the Art and Writing Awards at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Columbus Circle. This was the vegetarian entree:
My question/complaint/gripe is this: why must all “vegetarian entrees” at fancy restaurants resort to tofu? Ok, I’m exaggerating, obviously. Not all fancy restaurant fry a piece of tofu, swirl something green on [...]

I finally went to Jackson Heights. Good thing, too, because I’m moving from Queens so soon. Jackson Heights itself was just okay. I guess it wasn’t the little Bombay I had created in my mind. Anyway, we went to Roti Boti. There are two, across the street from each other. We went into one, looked [...]

Tulcingo Del Valle is a small deli converted to a restaurant with awesome mole sauce. We were seated after about 10 minutes and we ordered beer. Sandy got a Sol (which tastes just like Corona- is it the same thing?) and I got a Tecate, because in the restaurant window, a large red neon light [...]

It really hasn’t been that much. But a couple pictures:
This was our sorry pie. The filling didn’t thicken like it was supposed to. It was still ok.
These were the pizzas we made for Mother’s Day. We used crusts from Trader Joes (time constraints), but we made our own sauce. The pies were a hit with [...]

Ok, I think I ordered the wrong thing. I read rave reviews of Pio Maya on Yelp and then I googled it and read even more rave reviews: the thing is, I couldn’t believe that I was finally reading about a cheap Mexican place that people kept praising for its excellent, fresh food. And, it [...]
