I've begun writing staged plays and have started a novel but this blog will help me fine-tune my everyday musings and curiosity of the mundane...which turns out to be the norm in some cases. Not to digress, but as people cross my paths to achieving the ultimate nirvana, I can't help but wonder what ELSE is out there that I will NEVER see, hear, touch, feel, taste or LOVE?
Being in dirty Jersey for most of the day was pretty awesome! Got to meet the fabulous Camille Ford (you can too)http://vyou.com/camille# and found out that she has the same crew as Adam on the Travel Channel. As a self-proclaimed foodie, I am gratefully blessed to be surrounded by food experts who have been exposed to America's greatest palatable joints. I can't wait to do a FOOD-WAR with both Camille and Adam. I should totes abs add it on my bucket list!
As for the Harley Davidson shoot, a bit different from the other 4 shoots I've been on. NO Milwaukee Thunders on site today but being OUTSIDE of the dealership made the shoot more efficient and QUICK! I was impressed at how much we got done by 330pm. HIGH 5 to the cast and crew of the Spring/Summer 2011 catalog!
So, I consider myself a foodie and I am lucky to have Adam Richman as one of my guides to the best spots in NY and other cities in the US to satisfy my mouth watering cravings. If you don't already, follow him on Twitter @AdamRichman or subscribe to the Travel Channel's YOUTUBE channel: Travel Channel's Man Vs. Food
Adam and I used to ruminate about theatre and acting when I tended bar in the Slope at the new pub on the block called Cherry Tree Bar. This was 4 years ago. Since then, our conversation at the Barnes and Noble in Union square has turned into a nation-wide obsession with food and travel. LOVE IT! Adam is an inspiration and more importantly, a good friend.
I recently had a Dirty 30 FilthyPino brunch and cooked up a Filipino Food Feast. My mom is a great cook so I learned to cook by helping her out in the kitchen and watching her make magic under fire. The menu consisted of pansit, lumpia shanghai, chicken adobo, sapin sapin, bibingka, halo-halo, longanisa, tocino and rice. I know. I went a little overboard but it was delish and it really made me miss home and my mom's cooking.
Anyhoo, if you love food and have recommendations in your city, please feel free to leave me a comment and I will record myself at that establishment and post it on here. I have traveled the world and have an iron stomach so bring on the weird, textured, hard to pronounce, saucy, gooey, buttery goodness and challenge me to eat it. *WARNING* Must be a legit place of business (preferably with an 'A' rating, ok. I'll settle for a 'B' rating as well) GRaciaS everyone!
