Midtown Lunch is a blog dedicated to finding a delicious lunch near your office. It started out covering midtown Manhattan, but has now expanded to [...]
Cool Stuff I Found on the Internet: Recipe Saving, Drinkable Everything, Pretty Pictures, and Menu Psychology
Posted in Links on Dec 23rd, 2009
Happy Wednesday everybody. I’m taking this lazy (for me) vacation week to launch a new series I’ve been thinking about for a while. I’m calling it “Cool Stuff I Found on the Internet,” because I am a creative naming genius.
Every once in a while I find a site or article deserving of an entire post’s [...]
Midtown Junta
Posted in Food Junta, Links, Restaurant Reviews on Oct 2nd, 2009
New Yorkers on the blog may already know about Midtown Lunch, but for those of you who don’t, it’s about finding good affordable food in Midtown Manhattan, which can often seem a culinary wasteland.

Posted in Links on Sep 15th, 2009
Here’s a really interesting op-ed from Michael Pollan, from this past Sunday’s NY Times.

I just returned from a two week vacation, and my backlog of posts is all used up. So, to keep you mongrels busy, here’s a terrific food-themed humor piece from the New Yorker:

A Biscuit Update
Posted in Links on Jun 18th, 2008
The New York Times Dining section reported today that the White Lily flour company, which makes the supposedly premiere biscuit flour (lighter, fluffier) is moving its flour mills from Knoxville to the Midwest, causing shock and despair throughout the Southern baking community. (I hardly exaggerate here.) I wrote about my attempts to make biscuits a [...]
