This blog is dedicated to all the gorditos, chubbies, huskies, bears, afrentados and foodies that love to eat delicious food and can't wait to hear where they should go next to get their grub on! I'm going to give you the 411 on all the places I love to frequent and all the places I seek out, like the culinary explorer that I am. I'm going to be real and tell what I feel and think. Bring on the comments and most importantly bring on the FOOD!
Enjoy my first mukbang of the year! Watch me enjoy my favorite American Chinese foo dish, Singapore Mei Fun, and hear me talk about my holidays and AMAZING BIRTHDAY!
The freezing cold New York City weather stimulates cravings for anything hearty, delicious, and satisfying. You can't get more satisfying than an Argentinian Carbonada. What's a carbonada? Keep reading, because it's going to be life-changing.
A carbonada is a type of beef stew that mixes interesting ingredients (dried fruits or cheeses) with typical beef stew ingredients (carrots, potatoes, and onions) to create a uniquely delicious dish. Listen, I know that ingredients like cheese, dried fruit, and tablespoons of sugar in a beef stew might turn you off, but you must fight those purist sensibilities and give this stew a try.
When I (a skeptic and beef stew expert) first heard of the carbonada, I thought it would taste gross, but one spoonful changed this Doubting Thomas into a total fanboy. I beg you to give it a try-it's a new year, c'mon.
Argentina is world-renowned for its beef and red meat culture, so they know their beef stews-give it a try! Now watch the YouTube video below (Kevin All Over) and make this incredible dish. This recipe in particular features cheese as a main ingredient and is served in a hollowed-out pumpkin. What could be more fun?
Happy New Year! ¡Feliz Año Nuevo! I hope these words find you in good health, mirth, and merriment. I'm excited about a new year of blogging and sharing my foodie experiences! I'm starting the year off on a delicious foot by attending the Chinatown and Little Italy Food Fest.
If you aren't familiar with the Chinatown and Little Italy Food Fest then listen up because this festival is one of New York City's hidden treasures. It's pretty simple: You get on a bus and are taken to wonderful spots in both neighborhoods to sample mouth-watering meals. You can have homemade cannolis, savory dim sum, fresh pasta, and piping hot crispy duck all in one afternoon.
This bus tour takes you to out-of-the-way hidden culinary gems that will definitely inspire you to explore these streets on your own. Last time I attended, I fell in love with Little Italy (I never understood the hype before) and started visiting more often. This fest is a game-changing and eye-opening foodie experience.
Take a look at the information below and buy your tickets now! I will see you on the bus! I'll have some pre-fest snacks on me for you.
