I've been too busy enjoying the 90 DEGREE WEATHER in April to blog lately, not to mention the profusion of flowers, blooming trees and delicious sunshine.
I had an interesting experience last week being an audience participant on a reality show featuring chefs and food. For four or five hours, I witnessed the chaos that is food tv while drinking free wine and eating bits of things that haphazardly arrived at the table. Oy, the list of things they ran out of! The melted icecream! The dry, overcooked entrees! It was a long and fun process but I don't think I would do it again simply because there is so much waiting around, but it was a good use of a cold and rainy day. Not to mention it fed my food/blog nerdiness. Luckily, living in New York it's easy to find lots of interesting and drool worthy food experiences.
Most recently I visited Island Burgers and Shakes in midtown west where I had a juicy blue cheese and onion burger cooked medium rare- which is rare in NYC, ha. Most places cook their burgers to a dry brown no matter what you order. But this one was nice and red. I also tried a malted vanilla shake which was delicious. Typical NYC prices- $9 burgers and $5 shakes, but worth it occasionally.
Now to go bask again in the sunshine
