Calling all local foodbloggers and hangers-on:

Isn’t it about time you got out from behind the stove or from in front of the computer and had some spring cocktails with your fellow foodbloggers?  Well then. 

See you in a few weeks!

Spring NYC Foodbloggers Meetup
Tuesday, June 12
7:00pm
Von – 3 Bleecker St. btwn Bowery and Elizabeth St. (Meet in the back room.)

For ongoing NYC Foodblogger info, please join the NYC Foodbloggers Mailing List.

So concludes the last in my series of three collaborative brunches with the folks at London Paris New York (in Brooklyn.)

The response was so overwhelmingly positive that as soon as we all rest up, fine-tune some other areas of our lives, and do some thinktanking we promise to return with another food-art-event-series in some incarnation or other.

For those of you who are here looking for any of the brunch food recipes that I promised were so simple please email me and I will divulge all.
What I can give you now is a link to the ever-mouthwatering weblog Homesick Texan where you can find the inspiration for the Cheezy Grits I served (I just upped the jalapeno and cheese a touch.)  For the Vegan Grits just omit the cheese and substitute vegan margarine for the butter.

Thanks to everyone at London Paris New York for hosting (Jed, Zeljko and Doron especially) and the dozens of other people who helped out with these.  Love all around.

Oh, and by the way, these pics were taken by the strapping Andrew Strasser.

Photos from past Saturday’s brunch, sans any commentary.

All these pics (and more) were taken by the esteemed Andrew Strasser.  Many thanks Andrew!

Thanks to the forty-five+ Brunchers who braved the cold last Saturday to participate in my first commercial food endeavor and first multimedia collaboration with the folks at LondonParisNewYork. Hurrah! Three Cheers! Hope you had a great time - I certainly did. Please post or send me your comments and criticisms of the event. I’d love to hear feedback and ideas on what sort of thing you’d like to see in the future. i.e: more samurai centerpieces, more sitar, or more salads?

I’ll be posting food photos and recipes for the Spinach & Grapefruit Salad as well as the best darn Vegan Biscuits and Gravy soon but email me if you’re looking for the recipe for the Breakx-Mex Casserole… it’s a special favorite of mine and I’m not quite ready to go public with the recipe yet.

Thanks to the ladies and dudes at LondonParisNewYork for making the space-, land- and sound- scapes so amazing. Also, a hearty “couldn’t have done it without you” to the sisters who always impress me with their can-do attitude and ability to just plain get it done.
The Lil Sis endured a hangover and The Sistaster made the pastries:

And of course a special thanks to Z for turning 27 with progressively more style than when he turned 24, 25 and 26. Can’t wait to 28.
