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 nonstop [...]
My favorite reason for eating in is that it brings people together and allows them to share. This is a counterintuitive statement for someone whose own family dinner table has always been a bit of a black hole, but perhaps that’s exactly why cooking with friends feels so satisfying to me. Last Friday ended with [...]
Today’s post is a straight-up tutorial, entirely on video:

When I started reading food blogs in early 2007, two web sites jumped out at me right away as great resources with great voices. The first was Monster Munching OC, a deep reservoir of informed, informative and fun reviews of an expanse of land with much more amazing food than most people realize.
The second was [...]
Every so often, I relish poor decisions. This is rarely the case when said decisions involve food and never the case when they involve champagne (though it is always the case when said decisions involve relish).
In a case for rarity, last week’s snowtorious blizzard, which for me capped about a month of intermittent winter illness [...]
January 23, 2010 was National Pie Day, and I missed it. There are fewer things I will say with less pride, and today I am making amends – for myself, for my country and for the men who, however fictional, will never lose sight of the better things in life (clicking on that link, by [...]
This unscheduled post is part of the 93 Plates project.
You can read Hagan Blount’s post on this meal here.
At 8:00 p.m. on a January night, the stretch of Utica Ave. between Foster and Clarendon is a bleak row of auto repair shops, huge, rusted banners hanging over shuttered garages and the occasional fading light fixture. [...]
The world has made it through the last gasp of 2009, and those of us here at The Eaten Path who haven’t been completely swept up in the holidays have taken some time to reflect on the year in bites. Our favorite meals?

The best meal I had this year had something to do with the [...]
One of the more memorable outings I’ve made for food since moving to New York involved a short train ride to Russ and Daughters, an institution of an appetizing store on the Lower East Side that houses a dizzying array of cured, pickled, smoked and otherwise flavorized fish. Relatively new to the world of nosh, [...]
When you’re as obsessive about food as I am, it’s tempting to eat your way to clarity. Pizza crusts exist in constellations, hamburgers form concluding paragraphs, and frozen yogurt opens a window into economic impulses. Overwriting ensues.
BBQ is far from exempt when it comes to the feedback loop between thought and appetite. After reaching a [...]
