One of the Best Underrated Pizzerias in Brooklyn, NY

Food, NYC, ,

Brooklyn Pizza New York City is filled with great places to get pizza and many of them have been around for a very long time.

We have Lombardi’s, American’s first pizzeria around since 1905, although not in its original location. Totonno’s has been serving up their excellent pies in Coney Island since 1924 and John’s of Bleeker St has been around since 1929. There are many other pizzerias around NYC that seem to have been around forever. One of my favorites, I feel doesn’t  get mentioned as much as it should.

stadium food

Food at sports stadiums has vastly improved in recent years. People might even take in a game in some places more to try out the food, more so than watch the game.

Check out MLB stadiums ranked by food. And, if you love baseball and food, then this book is for you!

I’ve heard of gimmicky food items like doughnut burgers, crazy, humongous nachos and other things along those lines. I just found out about a food item that might just be the most ridiculous (stupid?) food offering ever at a sports stadium. Continue reading Most Ridiculous Stadium Food Item Ever? →

Even though I consider myself to be a picky eater I still like to try new things, especially when visiting new places.

I’ve enjoyed zebra and just about any type of gazelle served in Africa, had a hard time swallowing a fat-ass ant in Colombia, enjoyed stuffed pigeon in Egypt and then there was the time I tried cuy (guinea pig) in Peru. Find out the 6 Oddest Foods That I’ve Ever Tried.

On our most recent trip to the Middle East Gulf States, there were a few items that I came across that I would’ve liked to have tried which come from a local animal. Continue reading Have You Tried Any Camel Food Products? →

Review: Fuku Spicy Chicken Sandwich- NYC

Food, , ,

Fuku

Recently it’s seemed like chicken sandwiches have been the new hot thing hitting restaurant menus.

I’ve tried Shake Shack’s ChickenShack a couple of times and definitely find it a worthy option on their menu if you’re not in the mood for a burger or hot dog.

Just about a month before hearing about and trying the ChickenShack, there was lots being written of a hard to get spicy chicken sandwich from a place called Fuku. Continue reading Review: Fuku Spicy Chicken Sandwich- NYC →

Growing up I loved hot dogs, much more than burgers but probably not quite as much as pizza. While burgers have edged out the hot dog for me, I still do love a good, tasty dog.

And who knew there were so many varieties! Continue reading Daily Meal’s 75 Best Hot Dogs in America 2015 →
