Daily Crave Veggie Chips
The Daily Crave Veggie Chips were purchased for $3 on sale at my local grocery store. The black and white newspaper theme of the package cleverly makes the chip color pop on the front. A new brand of veggie chip though and the price point is what made me pull the trigger though. Similar to […]
Bikaji Aloo Bhujia
One of my regular bhujia suppliers, Foods of India, was out of Haldiram’s Aloo Bhuija. I was able to battle back from sadness because luckily they carry Bikaji’s Aloo Bhujia as well. The bag size was 14.12 oz (400g) for $3.99. The ingredients are potato, gram flour, lentil flour, tapioca starch, salt, mango powder, chili, […]
Hellman’s Mayo, please get a new editor
I’m a fan of Hellman’s Mayonnaise but the newest commercial has a serious faux pas. Take a look here and see if you can catch it. You see a nice montage of all the ingredients in a BLT: Toast pops out, bacon sizzles on the pan, tomato and romaine lettuce are sliced, the male lead […]
Update 2: Big Apple BBQ or Don’t Judge Me, I’m Enjoying BBQ
I stopped by at the Big Apple BBQ for Day 2. Please don’t judge me. For Day 2 I wanted to check out Big Bob Gibson’s championship BBQ. The wait was 20 minutes but it moved quickly. He served pulled pork with an amazing smoky, tangy red sauce. It was setup so that you get […]
Teddy Bear Coffee Cup Lid
Not much to add. I got a kick out of this silly coffee cup lid. Coffee never ceases to amaze. It pairs with any sweet. Case in point, I had this coffee to cut the sweetness of a simple hot fudge sundae on the Asbury Park boardwalk. Good times.
Updated: Big Apple BBQ in Madison Square Park NYC
I just got back from the Big Apple BBQ. It was a great time. As mentioned in the last post, plates are $8. All of the stands give you a decent portion of meat and a small side such as coleslaw, baked beans or pork rinds. Some of the lines were long but go by […]
Big Apple BBQ in Madison Square Park NYC
The 10th Annual Big Apple BBQ is happening in Madision Square Park, NYC on Saturday June 9th- Sunday, June 10th, 2012. It runs from 11am-6pm. I’ve never been. After hearing that it’s only $8 a plate I’m going to check it out. I haven’t had much barbeque since moving from Tennessee so I’m quite excited. You […]
New York Public Library Exhibit: Lunch Hour NYC
The New York Public Library has an interesting exhibit on the evolution of lunch in New York over time. It features visuals on everything from cafeteria lunches, the famous automats and of course food carts. Drawing on materials from throughout the Library, the exhibition explores the ways in which New York City—work-obsessed, time-obsessed, and in love […]
The Power of the Kale Lobby
In the last few years kale has been everywhere. Every TV Doctor, every magazine, every online publisher are beating us over the head about how nutritious this leafy green is. One quick sampling from WebMD shows just how good it is: One cup of kale contains 36 calories, 5 grams of fiber, and 15% of […]
Ode to Bodega Fruit Cups
In New York it’s fruit cup season. Well to be honest, they’re sold year round, but you only really notice the awesomeness during the warmer months. We’ve just gotten our first warm patch so I’ve taken note. Fruit cups are available at most every Mom and Pop Bodega. They are usually sold in a couple […]
