Wine Reviews: Thierry & Guy Fat Bastard Rose (2009)
We’re starting to get hot weather which means it’s time to switch from the red wines of winter and fall to whites wines of summer and spring. I went to the local wine store with the intention of getting a wine from their fridge. To the right of dozens of bottles of chardonnay, sauvignon blancs […]
Update: Voskos Greek Yogurt: Honey
I was a little harsh on Voskos last time and a mixed review the time before. Then again, it was the Voskos Greek Exotic Fig flavor. What was I thinking? As a token of forgiveness I tried their honey flavor today. It was fantastic. The sweetness is there but doesn’t beat you over the head […]
Delponte’s Bakery in Bradley Beach, New Jersey – Gluten Free Cookies and All of the Good Things
Delponte’s is THE bakery of Bradley Beach. Seriously. It’s the only one (not counting a Cupcake place). Thankfully though, it’s a really good one. You walk inside and it’s wall to wall baked goods. Over the course of a couple of weeks I tried many items. (Tasty baked goods are a vice of mine). My […]
Oaxaca Taqueria: Brooklyn and Manhattan Mexican Food
I love a good taco so I jumped at the chance to use a Groupon at the local New York mini chain called Oaxaca Taqueria. They have locations in Cobble Hill, Park Slope, West Village and the East Village. It’s a bit of a walk from South Park Slope to their 4th avenue location (between […]

Experts on TV told us not to eat late at night because we tend to eat junk foods. Here in the U.S, we didn’t listen. If it makes you feel better though, apparently no one else listened either. Check out this story via NPR’s the Salt via Massive Health (who put out apps to help […]

I recently discovered the super smart Google Recipes tool while searching for a recipe. Wired has some further information on it as well here. If you’ve ever wondered how to choose a recipe out of the often dizzying number of search results, this tool is for you. Normally a user searches for terms like “chicken […]
Glutino Dream Cookies: Chocolate Vanilla Creme Review
The latest snack I tried from Glutino is the Chocolate Vanilla Creme cookies. (10.6 ounces, 300g). These cookies are the GF equivalent of the Oreo cookie. The serving size is two cookies and there are around 20 in the package which is decent compared with other GF products. They have a neat lattice sort of […]
RoodonFood and the Most Interesting Man in the World Recommend: Curry Express
Here in New York, locals refer to the Murray Hill neighborhood of Manhattan as Curry Hill because of the large number of Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi restaurants concentrated around Lexington between 25th and 29th street, just north of Gramercy Park. The most famous is probably Curry in a Hurry because it has been around since […]
Firestone Walker Union Jack IPA Beer
I picked up this bottle of Firestone Walker Union Jack IPA at one of Park Slope’s best stores for selection, Bierkraft. The brand based out of Paso Robles, CA is new to me. Incidently, this fine beer allowed me to get through an hour of the disappointing movie Rum Diary (Johnny Depp is usually in […]

An evil clown played by one, Dominic Deville will stalk your child for 7 days attempting to scare him all week. Apparently it’s thrilling for kids. Those that aren’t horrified in the best possible […]
