RED HOOK LOBSTER TRUCK: Maine Lobsta’ in NYC
Dear Food Diary:
Delighted to find out the Red Hook Lobster Pound’s Truck was in midtown today. Though we had to cross town in what feels like 90 degree weather, in the end, it was well worth it.
Gelato Taste-Off: AMORINO vs GROM
Dear Food Diary:
I grew up on gelato and this sweet treat remains as one of my all time favorites. A couple years ago, when Grom opened in the West Village, I was immediately hooked. Nothing so far has come to replace its number one spot. Amorino came to town a couple weeks ago, I stopped by opening day… let the taste-off begin:
NYC ICY: The perfect cure for this heat! (CLOSED)
Dear Food Diary:
It’s been quite hot in NYC this week. I wished I had NYC ICY right now! so I could cool my body and entertain my tastebuds with their amazing ices. It’s like your childhood italian ices with a gourmet twist.
M. WELLS: Quebec-American Diner in LIC (closed)
Dear Food Diary:
W, S and I went to Paris for the first time 2 years ago. Since then, we’ve been doing our “Paris Reunion” dinners every once in a while. Obviously, going along with the theme, it’s always french. This time around, I suggested a minor adjustment, M. Wells isn’t exactly “french” per se, but I read rave reviews. So off we went on a cold Wednesday night. Exit the 7 train, the only bright storefront, that well… looks like a diner!
SEERSUCKER: Tuesday Fried Chicken Dinners!!! (CLOSED)
Dear Food Diary:
At last year’s Le Grand Fooding 2010, Seersucker’s chef/owner Robert Newton showcased his Tennessee-Style Fried Chicken. If you’re looking for that post, well… you know what happened (I’ll try to re-write it one of these day). Anyways, back to his fried chicken. It was one of the best things I tasted all night and I went back for seconds. That finger licking goodness had me dreaming and drooling ever since.
Seersucker is a warm neighborhood joint, right off the F train in Carroll Gardens. Serving seasonal Southern dishes. Friendly and casual. Modern and traditional. Old and new.

When my hard-core fried chicken lover J was in town. I knew just the place to take him, marked our calendars with Tuesday Fried Chicken Night (the only night it’s served). I heard some nights they sell out of fried chicken around 7:30pm, we were cutting it close and there was no way I was gonna make it all the way to Brooklyn on a school night and disappoint ma’cravings. So I made P run from the train, marathon style on Smith St (got out of the wrong exit and got a little lost). Yes, we ran for fried chicken!!! Oh, the things I do for food…
