A Spoonful of Sofrito: RIP Anthony Bourdain!

A Spoonful of Sofrito: A pinch of advice that will add a lot of flavor to your life.

RIP Anthony Bourdain!

Sofrito Lovers,

Anthony Bourdain's suicide has been a trending topic for days now.  I've found it very difficult to express how I feel about this tragedy.  I didn't know the man, but I deeply admired his love of food, culture, and his support of working class people in the culinary world.  Simply put: I was a fan!

Many of us foodies loved and admired him for his adventurous spirit and his willingness to go where few others would go to experience culinary culture.  He visited the Bronx and sung its praises to the world, that visit changed the Bronx culinary scene forever.

His passing will have reverberations throughout the culinary world for a long time. His passing teaches us that we must destigmatize mental illness.  His passing teaches us to care for one another, to make connections, and be supportive.  You never know when that bowl of soup you bring someone might keep them from making a life-altering mistake.

Rest in Peace and Power Anthony Bourdain.  We will miss you!

Check out his historic visit to the Bronx:

Where to Eat at John F. Kennedy Airport (JFK)?

Sofrito Lovers,

Are you an avid traveler?  Do you practically live in airports?  Well, if you do, then I offer you this amazing Eater.com article on where to eat at Kennedy Airport!

Honestly, I've never thought that airport food was all that great, until I traveled to Miami and realized that airports are becoming food courts with occasional flights.  I couldn't believe how elaborate, diverse, and delicious the selection has become at most major airports.  Long gone are the days of the semi-frozen prepackaged sandwiches; they've been replaced with incredible artisanal hamburgers and craft salads!

Check out the article below and plan out your next layover lunch!  I'm sure you'll love it!

Pump up summer travel fun with a good meal before you take off at JFK Airport — one of the local travel hubs with better dining options. Eater's guide to JFK maps out all the best options in the terminals. The most obvious choice is Shake Shack, but beyond the fast food burger favorite, dining has gotten fancier here. People who chase cult whiskey Pappy Van Winkle can even occasionally find it at the BKLYN Beer Garden in Terminal 2. Check out the best places to hit up, whether it's a sit-down affair or a quick bite.
 

 JFK’s Six Standouts

Shake Shack/Blue Smoke on the Road: Terminal 4 has branches of two of Danny Meyer’s most beloved restaurants. Two locations of Shake Shack offer all the favorites you find at the other locations, plus breakfast sandwiches and good coffee in the morning. Blue Smoke on the Road, which faces one of the Shake Shacks, serves ribs, sausages, and sandwiches, plus beer, wine, and cocktails. This is a great place to hang out and watch the game, if you’ve got some time to kill. [Terminal 4, Post-Security, Gate B23/37; B37]
