DISH OF THE WEEK

Introducing DISH OF THE WEEK

Aside from showcasing my webseries and video shorts, I started this blog in order to discover the most iconic of New York food: pizza, pastrami, bagels, the list goes on and on. I wanted to eat at classic places that I had embarrassingly never been to like Lombardi’s, Carnegie Deli, and Ess-a-Bagel. And those adventures will certainly continue. As my hot dog search soon comes to a close, I’ve already begun thinking about my next conquest.

This blog also turned into a platform for my other food adventure – namely my desire to eat 100 dishes that some other publication recommended. And after three years of savoring Time Out’s annual picks, I’ve decided it was time to fly the nest.

Instead of eating my way through Time Out’s list in 2013, I’ll be following my own path. I dine out at NYC restaurants a few times each week and have already compiled my own annual Top 100 dishes.

So starting next week, I’ll be featuring a different dish (or drink) from around New York that has fascinated and satiated me that week. These are bites I believe in and recommend seeking out. I think it will keep things fresh, varied, and surprising. Each week there will be something new for me to shut up and… Eat This!

Speaking of, anybody have a guess as to what food I am eating in the photo above? Clue: It’s the same thing I was eating in this photo.
