Vegan slop-sloppy joes.
October 1st marks the first day of the eat local challenge. It’s day one and I am already chalking this years challenge up as an epic failure for me personally. Mainly the neighborhood supermarkets are slightly scary, and definitely are not even close to being on the organic bandwagon yet. [...]

A slightly higher brow approach to Wellfleet’s bastard fish.
I can still remember getting pushed out of bed by my dad before the sun was even up. We would make it from Dennis to Wellfleet before the sun eventually pushed through on those grey Cape Cod mornings. My grandfather had an old center console boat at [...]

Over the Williamsburg bridge and through the woods…
I mean through the boroughs.
Just thought you might like to see the bounty. It’s a nice 10 mile ride round trip by bike to the awesome Union Square Greenmarket. Unbeatable selection of freshness from upstate.
I had one casualty on the ride back, I lost [...]

Factory Fresh

Tortilleria Los Hermanos…with out factory tastes.
Behind the unassuming factory doors of Bushwick’s, Tortilleria Los Hermanos, lies something special. Not only are they pumping out case after case of homemade tortillas for purchase and distribution regionally and possibly nationally, they are also utilizing these ultra fresh tortillas at their in-house taco stand.
For gringos like me [...]
