About Me

broâ€¢mogâ€¢raâ€¢phy (brÅ mog'rÉ™ fÄ“), n. 1. a book or writing dealing with food. 2. Archaic. a story; tale; narrative or description of food

foodâ€¢ie (foo dÄ“), n. 1. an aficionado of food and drink

I am a foodie. My passion for food falls somewhere between that of a gourmet and a glutton. Ambience, exotic ingredients or famous chefs - do not excite me. Super sizing, giant platters or all-you-can-eat buffets - do not thrill me. Only taste matters. The quicksilver connection from the tongue to the soul is what I seek. Whether it be Chinatown, Midtown, Jackson Heights, Park Slope, Greenwich Village, Little Britain or my own kitchen, I am always on the look out for great food! Fortunately, New York City offers almost endless opportunities for me to explore my passion. I welcome you to explore with me.
