I’ve written here about my formative obsession with American breakfast cereal, and though I’ve since grown into more mature tastes, there’s still one time of the year when I drop everything for the sake of my inner child. It helps that when Halloween invades the promotional aisles of supermarkets throughout the nation, General Mills tips [...]
In mid-August, my great friend and epic eating comrade Boykji visited New York for a whirlwind tour of the city’s eats. The five days I spent sharing meals with Boyk reminded me of how lucky I am to live in New York, where one can literally spend hours on end walking, eating and repeating without [...]

Four glasses of wine into a perfectly warm Oahu evening, as I finished off my cousin’s barbecued flank steak and extra spicy caesar salad, his girlfriend regaled us with the paragon attributes of Kona peaberry coffee, a speech she learned from one of her employers.

I am somehow amazed at how eager others are to broadcast where they’re eating. The dead horse lying at the junction of food, place and internet has been beaten to glue in the past few years, but there’s something about the virtual, real-time mapping of New York City that continues to irk me. Big words [...]
Homer Simpson may have once fallen under the spell of the good morning burger, but only because he wasn’t aware of the good morning pancake. When Vicky wrote in from Taipei about the staples of Taiwanese breakfast, I was struck with curiosity. Every other account I stumbled upon stoked that curiosity into veritable starvation until [...]
I take pride in my ability to operate beyond the habit of “point-and-eat” food blogging. The day Pies n Thighs returned to Williamsburg – opening its doors one block from my front door and mere hours after the Week of Eating In had ended – was no occasion for pride. It was an occasion for [...]

I spent this morning slushing down Bedford for a medical appointment. While trudging back up from the heart [...]
