Double Yolk Eggs: Work of the Devil or Great Value?
I got my first “double yolk” today. It came from the usual half dozen eggs from Wood Homestead Farms at the local Greenmarket at Grand Army Plaza. Nothing stuck out about the individual egg except the shell was slightly larger than the others. It was a little worrisome I’ll admit. Was there something wrong with […]

The long awaited Greenwood Heights/Park Slope Beer Garden located at 555 7th Avenue @19th (next to Greenwood Cemetary) will finally be opening tomorrow, June 28th. Stay Tuned for updates.
El Milagro Totopos (Tortilla Chips)
El Milagro Totopos took a few days to grow on me. The bag was $3 on sale for 16oz so it was a pretty good price as compared with the similarly packaged Xochitl chips. I didn’t want to like these chips because they’re very cocky. For example, on the package they refer to themselves as […]
Fish Eye Merlot 2004 Review
The Fish Eye 2004 Merlot is quickly becoming a house wine. It’s a very flavorful, medium bodied wine. Tannins are noticeable and provide a slight chewiness but nothing like you might find in a garnacha. There is a nice balance of sweet to tart. Notes of cherry come through as well. This was a very […]
Asian Gourmet Rice Crackers (Barbeque Flavor)
So I went out and took a risk because Roodonfood takes risks for you. I purchased the Asian Gourmet Barbeque flavor rice crackers. Barbeque flavor can be cloyingly sweet so I was hesitant to open the package. Once again, you get around 50 crackers for $1.79 at Eagle Provisions. The crackers are low fat, oven […]
Jubilat Provisions in Brooklyn: Go for the smoked meats, stay for the puffed corn
My favorite place for kielbasy in the area is called Jubilat Provisions located on 608 5th Avenue @ 17th St in Brooklyn. If you keep your eyes peeled in addition to the selection of smoked meats, cold cuts, mustards, and pickles you’ll occasionally spot some interesting snack items. My interest in trying new foods has […]
7th Avenue Street Festival: the Aftermath
We stepped out on Sunday with the intention of a pleasant walk outside. We happily stumbled on the 7th Avenue Street festival while in route to Prospect Park. There are three things I love about street festivals: live music along the way, sangria sold by vendors and the random things stands have for sale. For […]
Sweet Treasures Bakery in South Park Slope
Sweet Treasures Bakery is a welcome addition to South Park Slope. They’re located on 5th avenue between 16th and Prospect Avenue. I was sad when the predecessor, 3 Star closed . The cynic in me was expecting some high end crappy eatery. I was elated to see another, equally unpretentious bakery in its place. These […]
Papio Cabernet Sauvignon Calfornia 2008
Day 1 We were in the mood to try a new wine in our price range. Papio was nestled between a couple of old favorites (Rex Goliath and Flip Flop) in the local wine shop so that seemed like a good sign. Interestingly my girlfriend and I had two different impressions at first. I found […]
Voskos Greek Yogurt Blueberry + Granola
Image Source I’ve started to see these Voskos Greek Yogurts with Granola more frequently of late. Once again I purchased because they were on sale for $1. The granola is in a separate compartment which can be conveniently flipped over directly into the yogurt side. The amount of granola is a little stingy but still […]
