ChubbyChineseGirl Pumpkin for Halloween
Just in time for Halloween, I did my first ever pumpkin carving night with my gals C & J.
Scharffen Berger Chocolate: Elevate a classic dessert (recipes included)
Dear Food Diary:
As a true chocoholic, I was more than delighted to receive the invite from Scharffen Berger Chocolate makers a couple weeks ago. An evening with Elizabeth Falkner (Top Chef) and Johnny Luzzini (Former Executive Pastry Chef at Jean Georges and Daniel), showcasing their take on a classic dessert with a hands-on workshop and of course, tasting (my favorite part).
RECIPE: Brunch I return for again and again (closed)
Dear Food Diary:
With such an array of brunch options in this city it’s hard to commit to one place. I wouldn’t call Recipe my usual, but when I tallied the receipts from last fall till now, this Upper West Side joint won the most visited. Some of my less adventurous days, I just want what I crave, without any surprises and Recipe delivers just that. Plus, their logo is super cute and I dig that.
Chubby & Wollensky?!
For those who think, we can’t teach an old dog new tricks, Smith & Wollensky just came out with a pretty cool new marketing/advertising idea.
I walked by the other and was like… what?! So apparently for the month of October, you could “pledge allegiance to them” with your reservation of the day, if it gets chosen, your name could be up there! front awning and signs. Pretty neat right? Maybe I’ll get Chubby up there!
