No leftovers..



..not this time. I went to Taco Chulo the other day and was introduced to something incredible. The Santa Cruza burrito. It was in the Chulos y Pimps section and to say the least there was nothing left for the extra plate to pass around. Spinach, avocado, black beans, peppers and more. If you are in Williamsburg Brooklyn anytime soon, you're just gonna have to get your own.

Bagels



I'm not sure about you but sometimes I wake up very early. I don't know why, maybe its the stomach roaring, or maybe its the sun peaking into the bedroom alittle too soon. Either way, there is really so much you can do when its the weekend and no one is awake and you don't want to be too noisy. Sure you can go for a run, read a book, or better yet, you can make bagels! Yup, nothing better than your friends waking up to bagels and better still when their fresh made in your own kitchen. I know, you can just buy them for a $1 but what's the fun in that?

Time to go fishin'

On the eastern tip of Long Island there's a fish so good a friend once called it a sea cherry. Yes, tis the season for Black Sea Bass (pictured here is actually Branzino which is alittle more silver and slender than its fatter Atlantic cousin). It may be one of the easiest, most tasty dishes you can make and rarely will there be anything left over. Ready? Other than frying, this is how you should cook it. Clean your fish, stuff with lemons and herbs, place in a baking dish, salt and pepper both sides, decorate with olives, garlic and grape tomatoes, bake. Now you try..

Start


Eat


Finish


..and don't forget to eat the cheeks.
