   I am a friend of Laura Farina’s. I love what you do. Have you been to Blue Smoke?

   Miss MacDonald,

   Great to hear from you. Thanks for the kinds words. I’ve been to Blue Smoke once and enjoyed myself. I had Memphis Baby Backs and Kansas City Spare Ribs, I liked the Memphis better. The pulled pork wasn’t amazing, neither was the burger. If you get french fries, I recommend you ask for them cooked well done. The sweet potato fries were not what I expected, instead of being thin and crispy they were more or less quartered sweet potatoes. Not what I expected and very filling. The maple sauce that came with the sweet potato fries, while great in concept, was poor in delivery. The mac and cheese was very creamy and rich but wasn’t amazing and neither was the creamed spinach. The one thing I didn’t get to try but wanted to were the chipotle wings. As you can imagine I was definitely full after my meal but wasn’t wowed.

   Have you been to Blue Smoke or any other BBQ places in NYC? Any favorites? Are you from the island?

   It’s great to see such a non commercialized site that makes criticisms based on experience and not the $$$. Thanks dude. You should extend to Chi-town the food there is much better. LOL.

   Hey, food guy, talked to you in San Diego. I’m the one with the cream cheese bacon hebrew national dogs on Garnet Ave, Pacific Beach. I saw the ‘crif’ dog on your site but that had cheddar cheese on it. Phily Cream Cheese with bacon and a couple of jalapenos is the only way to go.

   Hope you enjoyed your stay in sunny San Diego.

   Kelly,

   Well I’m sorry to hear that, it was certainly not my intention. Welcome to my site I guess, ha. Let’s just say I’m a bit of a burger lover. What are your feelings?

   Thanks for stopping by and checking it out. Shoot me an email if you’re down to grab a bite or just wanted some recommendations.

    Linda,

    Thanks for the kind words. I’ll add you to my mailing list. It’s all about the tiny places that have big food. Do you have any spots that you’d like me to review?

    Hi NYCFoodGuy,

    I’m impressed with your site. You have some good picks here. I do think you use the term “healthy” a bit too loosely but otherwise I like what you’re doing.

    I’ve actually have had dinner with you before and have witnessed your extensive food photo shoots. Where’s the food from El Parador?

    Tricia,

    Thanks for the kind words and yes, I do use the word “healthy”, loosely. If something omits bacon, then it’s healthy. That’s a nice definition.

    El Parador is definitely on the way.
