I would put Leoci’s in Savannah up against any Italian restaurant in New York. I went there for the first time on Saturday and absolutely loved it. The homemade pasta is what propels them into the superior Italian stratosphere and their sauces keep them there. I ordered one of the daily specials but tasted everybody’s…

Now that the long Thanksgiving weekend has come and gone, I’m already counting down to Xmas break. The time will pass quickly as it always does when I’m happy – and happy I am because spending Thanksgiving at home reminded me of how many amazing things I have in my life: wonderful family and friends,…

I added “2012” to this blog post’s title because after the success of this year’s event, it’s sure to become an annual thing. Oyster roasts are commonplace in The Lowcountry for good reason – they’re freakin awesome. Basically, you create a pit outside and roast the oysters on a grate above an open flame (we…

It falls somewhere between the firm outside and creamy inside of burrata cheese and is a stringy gobbledy goop in a bowl, topped with olive oil and sea…

I didn’t think I would pick up a book by Jay-Z and I certainly didn’t think I would relate to a book by Jay-Z. I was wrong on both counts. When my office reviewed a case study of a Bing/Jay-Z cross promotion, I was impressed by the innovative marketing. For the month prior to the…

After a two day work week, I am currently relaxing in Savannah with the fam for Thanksgiving. Could not be happier. The last 5+ years in NYC have been great. This city has nearly everything but has been lacking in the country music department. If this weekend is any indication, the musical tide is turning.…

After ducking out the last couple months, I decided to participate in an office potluck. This month’s theme was tailgating, which leaves the field wide open (no pun intended). Since I was short on time and cash, I decided to make a timeless potluck item: pinwheel sandwiches. I rolled up tortillas with mayo, shredded cheese,…

I need to remember how many great restaurants are in Chelsea. Lindsay gets credit for finding my most recent Chelsea spot, Pounds & Ounces. Once I got past the overly heavy front doors (I recommend lifting weights before holding them open for anyone), the first thing to catch my eye was the long, curved table…
