David Burke & Leblon Cachaca: Beverage Series Dinner + the chef himself

Dear Food Diary:
Wednesday night, one of my favorite chefs David Burke (Fishtail and Townhouse) hosted an amazing eat, drink and be merry event at his Bloomingdale’s location. This was the 3rd of his Beverage Series Dinner, where his yummy food is paired with different adult beverages. Leblon Cachaca (pronounced ka-sha-sa, a Brazilian spirit distilled from sugar cane juice, unlike the rum which is made from molasses) was the partner for the evening.

Bon Appetit SUPPER CLUB cafe: Part Two

Dear Food Diary:
Went back to the chaos with my friend Cindy, she’s the one who told me about this pop-up cafe weeks ago. Thank goodness she had a “mental health day” and arrived early. While I waited outside for 20 mins (even though I arrived 11:50), she was inside battling the lines and crowd to get our food.
NOW TO THE FOOD PART TWO:

Bon Appetit SUPPER CLUB cafe: yummy chaos in the city

Dear Food Diary:
Couldn’t wait to get there today, this work week’s lunch could possibly be one of the most exciting ones of the year. I rushed there by 2 trains, ran out of the 57th street station like a mad woman, I must of been “tailgating” the young guy in front of me, he looked back with an annoyed glance a couple times, but hey! I was on a mission, and I can’t stand people who walk slow. Anyways, thankfully I entered the much anticipated cafe at 12:30 sharp without any problem, there were lines by the different stations, but no lines at the door, 10 minutes later, my friend was stuck outside, waiting in a line that went around for 20+ minutes.
