Zach Brooks, founder of one of the most successful food blogs in the world, left New York on Saturday, January 30. Since Zach will no doubt make fun of me for every remotely poetic word in this post, I’ll keep this shoutout on point.
Zach is a man who cuts through bullshit without getting his hands [...]
Can you name this dining counter?
If so, you’ve had the privilege of tasting one of America’s finest burgers. If not, you’ll get your answer below the fold.
This is the last of the point-and-eat posts from my holiday in California. I’ve saved what are probably my three favorite meals of the two weeks I spent on [...]
One food group I’ve sorely neglected as a New York resident is sushi. I came into the sushi game extremely late in life; even so, after having great and affordable sushi in California, it’s tough to man up and shell out for comparable sushi here in the city. Most options seem mediocre for the price [...]
On August 10, 2009, I called the best Thai Restaurant in North America to ask if it would be open on December 23, 2009. Then I booked a cross-country flight with a four hour layover in Las Vegas, with full intent of making good on this phone call. On December 23, 2009, I experienced what [...]
I’ve never made friends by campaigning on the good eats platform; most of my friendships were wrought by geographical circumstance and a love for all things geeky. James is no different: We originally began correspondence as I blogged from Moscow and eventually found friendship in science-fiction television, but I’ll never forget the first time we [...]
I am sick of sushi.
So is my body, or so I can assume. My girlfriend Mele returned from a routine check-up at the doctor with the stern warning, “Stay off the mercury for awhile,” and neither of us was surprised. As part-time pescatarians in the summer, we’d been craving lighter, cooler dinners. Sushi is a [...]
Comrades,
I’m in a bit of a transition period right now, wrapping up work at one job, training for new responsibilities at another and suffering from a mysteriously potent and lingering amount of residual stress that has stopped me from tending to my writing duties. I hope to be back up to speed with a weekly [...]
Some of my relatives from Chicago were in LA recently, and we conducted our usual what-kind-of-person-are-you-now-that-you’re-a-year-older discussions. My uncle, admirably a fan of food, decided that the 405 freeway would be a whole lot more interesting if we discussed our favorite dishes, so we took turns naming aloud our favorite Italian food, Chinese food, etc.
If [...]
While searching Yelp! for vintage clothing stores in the area, I spotted a link to Tokyo 7-7 Coffee Shop in the right column. When I noticed the address, I couldn’t believe it. I’d been living within walking distance of downtown Culver City for over a year and I never saw nor heard of the [...]
Comrades,
I’m glad to announce that starting this Friday The Eaten Path will begin its expansion into a group blog.
My good friend Zach will take up a post writing for this site every other Friday as our San Diego/LA correspondent while I work on finding writers from other cities in America and abroad to join our [...]
