I saw Richard Blais! - NYC

This happened a few weeks ago, but hey, I’m still in vacation mode, leave me alone! Anyway, a few weeks ago I read on Midtown Lunch that Richard Blais from Top Chef was going to be at Garrett Popcorn making “popcornsicles.” Now, I must say Dale was my favorite. Bourdain, I love you, but you really screwed up big time when you sent Dale packing instead of angry Lisa. I mean, besides his skills in the kitchen, I found Dale hilarious to watch. I loved how he would always grab his crotch whenever he got into a screaming match with the lovely ladies on Top Chef. Hey, if I were him, I would too! After Dale left, Richard soon become my favorite. Stephanie seemed good, and I’m all for female chefs, but she was a bit boring for me. In case you wanted it, or not, that’s just my two cents about the show. MORE »

Ham Flavored Potato Chips

I just came back from Menorca, Spain, and after eating cured meats and jamón flavored potato chips everyday for a week, a normal person would probably be sick of ham, but then again I’m a little, er, different. I’ve been craving jamón for days now. Salty, fatty, nutty, I just can’t get enough of it.

Menorca was truly the land of delicious cured meats. Everywhere you went, it was pretty much guaranteed that you would find a ham suspended somewhere. Generic supermarket, check! Restaurant, check! Airport, check! Street market, check! MORE »
