Here is a photo I took on day one, when Dominique Ansel's cronut army was still frosting all the way to the edges. There is no time for that now.

Last post for the Voice: I took a drive up to Binghamton and Endicott to taste the original spiedies and see how they compared to Brooklyn Bird's. Here are my field notes, and please expect a longer piece soon.

Over the moon after winning a James Beard award on Friday, especially one named for Craig Claiborne. Many thanks to my team at the Voice and to the great Brian Parks.

Food doesn't haunt people, sadistic ghosts do. But I'm still thinking about some of the dishes at Pearl & Ash, Richard Kuo's new place in a former flophouse on Bowery.

Thinking about the great Ruth Prawer Jhabvala today, rewatching Bombay Talkie, making gifs.

This week, I reviewed Ayesha Nurdjaja's Italian-American and Italian-Italian food at Saul Bolton's new spot on Atlantic Avenue. I think Red Gravy is a bit too expensive for its level of service, but Nurdjaja's food can be really good. Read my review here.
