Recipes, Restaurant Reviews, and Travel
Man Fuel: I've been trying to get my friend (let's call him "Double Down") to do a guest blog on my site for a few months now. He tells me about a lot of the food he makes and it all sounds great. He's like me in that he's a guy with self-taught cooking skills... Continue Reading →
I've watched a lot of Hell's Kitchen on TV. That means I've watched a lot of Chef Gordon Ramsay yelling and cussing out many wannabe chefs due to their culinary failures. It also means that I've seen Beef Wellington served and prepared an absurd number of times in one setting. Aside from the fact that... Continue Reading →

A while ago, a friend told me that he made himself some spicy tofu lettuce wraps. I never really got the full recipe from him, but he did tell me generally what he used to make them. I made some slight ingredient modifications and created my own recipe during Lent one year. Now, I'm not... Continue Reading →
A couple of months ago, I attended a wedding in Brooklyn, New York. Coincidentally, this was the same weekend that hurricane Sandy hit the east coast, but we managed to leave NY before it got really bad.

After looking around at many of the great cocktail and mixology sites online, I started to get a little self-conscious about posting my own drink recipes. When I decided to make this drink, I didn't want to just re-hash seasonal Apple Cider cocktails. Instead, I wanted to try something original. I have no idea if... Continue Reading →
