This week, Gilt launched a new food website, Gilt Taste. I had the pleasure of attending the launch party in Chelsea and the even greater pleasure of finally getting to meet Ruth Reichl, whom I’ve admired for years. I have read all her books, was a huge Gourmet fan and I’m sure Gilt Taste has […]

Culinography: What Happens When (NYC)
It seems that pop-ups are popping up all over New York City recently. What’s going on? Or should I say What Happens When? That’s the name of a new pop-up resto that has a nine-month lease on a space in SoHo, and a new menu and theme every month. I visited in April for Movement […]

Culinography: James Beard Awards 2011: Craig Deihl
In honor of the James Beard Awards being held tonight, I thought I’d post about Craig Deihl of Cypress Restaurant in Charleston, who is nominated for Best Chef (Southeast). I was certainly impressed by him when I had the great pleasure of attending and shooting his Angus Beef sponsored dinner at the JBF Pop-Up last […]

Culinography: Momofuku Cake In My Purse
I know this piece of cake doesn’t look so hot, but to be fair, it’s been through a lot. Last weekend I was at a house party in Williamsburg. It was still Passover, so I was having wine instead of beer, cheese with no crackers and trying not to look at the cookies. I’d been […]

Culinography: Pick Your Own Asparagus!
It’s asparagus season, people! Did anyone know this is what asparagus looks like when it’s growing? I took these shots today while visiting Terhune Orchards near Princeton, NJ. We ate this asparagus tonight for dinner and it was seriously delicious. Photography by Erin Gleeson.

Culinography: Happy Passover!
Tonight is the first night of Passover, and the first of two seders this week. Enjoy that gefilte fish! (If you’re lucky, yours will be made of salmon like the one above). Photo by Erin Gleeson.

Culinography: Dim Sum Charlie’s
I was recently in my hometown of Santa Rosa (Sonoma County, CA) and a bit of a buzz has started about a gathering of food trucks on Monday afternoons in one parking lot in town. Serving fare from their adorable airstream trailer, Dim Sum Charlie’s had the longest line by far- which of course we […]

Culinography: The Most Phallic Dish I’ve Ever Eaten
Right?!? They were, however, some tasty lamb balls. Paired with a crunchy kale chip, this dish was served at the Beard House during a Middle Eastern meal. Photo by Erin Gleeson.

Culinography: Lunch at Google
I had the pleasure of lunching at Google in NYC (above Chelsea Market) last week as the guest of a friend who works there. Google’s executive chef emails out the huge menu daily! It definitely had the feeling of a big cafeteria, but it was friendly and fresh, with Google slick. Lots of healthy vegetarian […]
