[EATVENTS] July 29: Seamless Picnic Day
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Seamless for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine.
Dear Food Diary:
The thought of a picnic brings a big smile. It promises sunshine on my face and grass between my toes. Plus good food of course!
What’s better than a picnic? How about a Luke’s Lobster picnic delivered by Seamless! Yup, call up an amigo on July 29th from 12pm- 2:30pm and get in on Seamless Picnic Day
LUPULO: George Mendes’ new Portuguese spot
Dear Food Diary,
Starting a new look for restaurants reviews this week. Integrating Instagram (my new obsession) and honestly a quicker way for me catch up on all my posts without losing on the foodporn aspect of it all for you guys.
First review in this style is Lupulo in Midtown West. Been a big fan of George Mendes. For his new spot, think coastal, fun vibes. Great food and beers.
BUN-KER Vietnamese: Good Pho-king Vietnamese Food
Dear Food Diary:
Sometimes ignorance really is bliss. In some instances, it can lead to a really good pho-king Vietnamese meal. Case in point, our adventure to Bun-ker Vietnamese.
StalkerHubby and I were in Bushwick one evening and from the map, it was an easy 15-20 minute walk. Not knowing how isolated and empty the cross from Bushwick to Ridgewood would be at night, we ventured on foot. In the dark, amongst warehouses, the only 2 pedestrians in sigh. Our head told us to go back, but thankfully our tummies, as always, won the argument.

Dear Food Diary:
I’m sure we all have our own guacamole recipe, but this Sweet Pea version by Jean-Georges really caught my attention! Just in time for today, this spring twist will surely brighten your fiesta.
[EATVENTS] MAY 2: Ramp Fest 2015
Dear Food Diary:
The wild onion aka ramp season is here again and I couldn’t be more excited. I’ve already grilled a few batches at home and can’t wait to have in all sorts of creative ways at the Ramp Fest 2015 coming up May 2nd in Hudson Valley.
We had such a fun time last year. Check out some of the highlights and get your tickets!
