Bario’s on Staten Island has a separate vegan menu–not just a small section of vegan offerings like they had when I visited in 2018. But I ordered the same thing this time: their mozzarella sticks. Because I do what my body tells me to do. They are pricey, but they Read more…

Hadn’t been to Rockville Centre’s Three Brothers in awhile. It was time for a visit. Their mozzarella sticks are the star of the show. I am happy they are a bit narrower in girth than the earlier recipe. I think most know how I feel about too much Daiya. A Read more…

In the year 2010, more than any other, the camera was angled down, capturing flicks of food. Sure, there are people on the other side of the table. Had the camera lifted its head, it’d see. But for a gal who sorts time through food, the vibrant color of shared Read more…
