Ayada My Soul for the Rest of Eternity… Please!
Ayada has in its recipes what’s made wise men wise, foodies addicted to flavor, and probably what will cause my first ulcer. This place is so incredible it is literally mind-blowing. The shrimp papaya salad ($7.00) ordered spicier than Thai spicy will change your opinion on what can be experienced
Athom: Where Dignity Matters
Athom opened in the Bushwick / Bed-Stuy neighborhood about three years ago. It was the first spot in that neighborhood to have things like paninis, fresh baked croissants, good espresso and ingredients like roasted red peppers, caramelized onions, brie, etc. I must tell you, as a resident of that neighborhood
The 90s Are Back! We Have Color Changing Shirts!
As 2024 winds down, we’re reflecting on another incredible year of sharing the stories, art, culture, and nightlife that make the Bay Area so unique.

Anyone reading this already knows that eggs are a broke-ass’s best friend. Two of those yolky wonders will run you about $.30, keep you full for hours, and are one of the few foods that are almost perfect just the way they are (Just like you! Awwww). Heck, even renowned

I recently realized candied bacon is pretty much the cleavage of the food world. It’s incredibly easy to do and even just a little goes a long way (rimshot!). But seriously folks, I am actually a little embarrassed to call this a recipe because it’s such a simple way to
No Joke, the Golden Mall is the Shit!
It’s in situations like this I wonder what the point of writing is. I mean, that gap between understanding and the words that I’m writing is so vass! I will attempt to be as detailed and as clear as possible, but I know that I will never be able express
Roti Roll – Cheap, Delicious, and Fun Indian Food
If you’ve ever  passed by Roti Roll, you’ve definitely noticed the electric blue and green awning, and have hopefully stopped in to try their “Bombay Frankies.” If you haven’t, it’s totally worth the trip to 110th & Amsterdam Avenue. Roti refers to the type of bread used to wrap up
My KFC is Kennedy Fried Chicken
When I think of KFC I don’t think about Colonel Sanders, I think about Kennedy Fried Chicken. The first Kennedy’s was founded in the 1970s in the Flatbush section of Brooklyn. Since it’s inception it has grown with many restaurants popping up around the city. Kennedy has become somewhat of
