UrbanSpoon: The Foodie’s Dream App
One of the toughest parts of moving somewhere new is learning the good places to stuff your face.
Back in September, I moved to York, Pa. for a new job opportunity. And while I was introduced to a few places by some friendly faces, I hadn’t really even begun to scratch the surface of what is [...]
Truly Serendipitous
This is the final installment of the Amateur Foodie Travels… for now at least. I figured I would save this one for last, not because it was a hole-in-the-wall find… quite the opposite in fact. In all the time I’ve spent in NYC, it wasn’t until my most recent trip that I finally ate at [...]
The Convert
Yes, this IS the place from the Will Smith movie Hitch! Rice to Riches, located at 37 Spring Street, between Mott and Mulberry streets in lower Manhattan, is a landmark which specializes in Rice Pudding.
Every time I’m in NYC, someone always suggests that we go to Rice to Riches, to which I reply with a big, [...]
Colicchio & Sons
I’ve said it a million times now, but just in case you missed it: I love Top Chef on Bravo. It is one of my favorite shows, and during my vacation last month, I visited the restaurants of two former contestants.

The Charm City – Baltimore Eats
Prior to March, I had not been ‘charmed’ by the Charm City, for no other reason than I had never had the chance to visit before. I must say, I was quickly won over. Baltimore is pretty chill in its own rights, and offers up some great eats. I was only there for 3 days and [...]
Now That’s “Good Stuff” Eatery
During my vacation last month, I spent the first 4 days in Baltimore visiting a good friend from college. Unfortunately, she was not on vacation during my stay and left me to my own devices to keep myself entertained. Since Baltimore is a mere 45 minute train ride from Washington, DC, and I had only [...]
“You know it’s good food when you’re too busy to talk” – VOLT Restaurant
I love the show Top Chef, and here is why: Top Chef puts a spot light on the culinary arts and chefs in ways that no other show does. It also brings attention to these talented culinary artists who would probably not receive a ton of recognition otherwise. The past season of Top Chef: Las [...]
