Where Food is Family: The Red Hook Food Vendors Deep ...
Where Food is Family: The Red Hook Food Vendors Deep in Brooklyn, there is a special place where people gather with friends and family to enjoy the authentic flavors of Latin cuisine, where food tastes like home, and where recipes have been passed down for generations. This place is called The Red Hook Ball Fields, where a collection of Mexican, Central and South American street food vendors that have been lining the soccer park for decades, sharing a piece of their heritage with all that come to dine there on weekends.It's a casual affair filled with many moments of indecision, as the variety of food is overwhelming and the smells from the food trucks tempt you in multiple directions. Some of the best Latin cuisine in all of NYC can be found here. And I spent a day at the ballfields to find out what makes the Red Hook Food Vendors so special.Happy eating!

FOOD CURATED: The Brooklyn Grange: NYC's Newest & Biggest Rooftop ...
FOOD CURATED: The Brooklyn Grange: NYC's Newest & Biggest Rooftop Farm It's summer harvest season up on NYC's newest and biggest rooftop farm! If you haven't been, and I know most of you haven't, you need to see The Brooklyn Grange. I visited a few days ago to see what Farmer Ben Flanner was growing for the summer, and I was quite impressed with the progress he's made in such a short amount of time. His 40000 square foot farm (just under an acre) was lush with greens, cabbage, tomato plants, corn crops, carrots, swiss chard, various herbs and root vegetables. I seriously didn't think the farm would look as finished or as polished as it did when I set foot, especially since they only began planting in late May. But, it did. The plants looked happy and tasted great, further proving the case for more NYC rooftop farms. Watch the video and see for yourself. Plants like rooftops...or it seems that way to me!

FOOD CURATED: West Coast vs. East Coast Oysters: A Native ...
FOOD CURATED: West Coast vs. East Coast Oysters: A Native NYer Weighs In "It's all about the water quality..."Meet Nellie Wu, the oyster specialist and General Manager of W&T Seafood, a family-owned and operated seafood distribution company based in Brooklyn, New York. Nellie's company has been the link to connecting great NYC chefs and restaurants to West Coast shellfish farms, namely Taylor Shellfish Farms, for the past 25 years - supplying premiere oyster hubs like The Grand Central Oyster Bar with famed West Coast oysters like Totten Inlet Virginicas, Pacifics, Kumamotos, Fanny Bay Oysters, Kusshis, Olympias and European Flats. Nellie's passionate about West Coast oysters not only from a sustainability standpoint, but also from a taste standpoint. She firmly believes they are some of the best tasting oysters you can get in North America. And with the local food movement inspiring more NYers to eat locally, she just wants people to understand the need for supporting regionally grown food as well, especially ones with a good mission behind it. So, I hope you enjoy this piece on West Coast oysters with Nellie Wu, the first of many pieces on seafood and shellfish farming I'll be sharing this summer.

FOOD CURATED: An Eating Club for the Brave: The Gastronauts ...
FOOD CURATED: An Eating Club for the Brave: The Gastronauts Meet The Gastronauts, New York City's adventurous eating club founded by Curtiss Calleo and Ben Pauker, two very good friends with an appetite for the weird and bizarre cultural foods of the five boroughs.They started their eating club four years ago simply because their girlfriends didn't want to join them anymore on their food adventures. So, for fun, they decided to open up their dinners to other like-minded eaters, friends, strangers, anyone who was "game" for eating what most Americans won't. And what they discovered was that there were more people out there like them than they thought. Now, with over 50 club "meetings" under their belt from Staten Island to the far corners of the Bronx, they can only say that they still have so much more bizarre food to go.So enjoy this little story about The Gastronauts. I hope you find, like I did, that their mission goes so much further than finding weird stuff for you to eat, it's about enjoying the flavor of cultures, meeting new friends, and honoring animals from nose to tail.For more information on joining or to see past menus and photos, you can visit Ben & Curtiss online at: www.gastronauts.net eating!

FOOD CURATED: The Art of Cold Smoked Salmon Meet Simon ...
FOOD CURATED: The Art of Cold Smoked Salmon Meet Simon Marrian, the president and owner of Samaki Smoked Fish in Port Jervis, NY. Hes a self-taught fish smoker who began selling cold-smoked fish to upscale safari lodges as a young man in Africa.I sought him out in Port Jervis because I know he understands theres an art to smoking salmon. And I know this because I eat his product, a lot. To me, his smoked salmon tastes like no other salmon out there on the market, and what I learned is that it has a lot to do with their hands-on process. Unlike other smoked fish houses that use preservatives and fish coloring in their product, Simons philosophy is that you dont need much to achieve a good thing, just a little brown sugar and salt for curing, oak smoke, a homemade brick kiln and a really, really fresh piece of fish.So enjoy this peek into a very special family-run fine smoked fish operation, and see for yourself where good food comes from.
