When Iceland’s President decided to make a joke about banning pineapple as a pizza topping, he never thought it would send ripples throughout the world. He obviously didn’t realize that pizza connects us all on a deep, elemental level and people are VERY sensitive about being told how to eat it. Fox 5 NY wanted to know why people feel so strongly about polarizing food combinations so they interviewed a food expert – me! Scroll to 1:37 in the video to see my brief interview.

America loves NFL football and the “idea” of going to the game is great. But let’s be honest unless you’re a die hard fan, going to the game is not that much fun without great seats, a lot of booze and an awesome tailgate. So this year NFL teams are following in the footsteps of Major League Baseball by injecting their stadium concession menus with the ooze that turned four little turtles into hulking ninjas.
Steve Overmyer, sports anchor for New York City’s WCBS & WLNY55-10 asked me to re-create some of the NFL’s craziest concoctions so we could see which are worth braving. And make sure to watch to the end to see MY act of edible bravery! In case you missed it on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter (ahem, follow me please), you can watch it here!

The players are in shape for Major League Baseball’s Opening Day but the fans are in trouble especially if you look at the new lineup of edible monstrosities being sold this season at ballparks all over the country. Instead of immediately doing aerobic exercise Steve Overmyer, sports anchor for New York City’s WCBS & WLNY55-10 asked me to re-create four of the craziest dishes in my own kitchen so we see which, if any, are worth shaving a few minutes off your life for. The answers may surprise you. In case you missed it on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter (ahem, follow me please), you can watch it here!

I’M GOING TO BE ON TV TONIGHT! WLNY Ch 55 / Ch 10 around 9:45PM with Steve Overmyer talking crazy baseball stadium food like the homemade peanut butter & pretzel-coated bacon the Mets will serve at Citi Field and a bacon cheeseburger with pepperoni pizzas as buns like the Braves will serve. There will be more crazy homemade creations on the air tonight! Hopefully the fact that this is for TV and not personal consumption will absolve me from the wrath I’m bringing upon myself from the food gods for creating such monstrosities. Probably not. Oh well.
I’ve had an up and down love affair with food blogging over the years but one thing I’ve loved forever is drawing. I recently started combining this passion with my love for food by creating posters for friend’s restaurants events. The inspiration for my art is a mixture of the Marvel comic books I read and cartoons I watched growing up as well as psychedelic rock and roll posters from the 1960s and 70s. If you’re interested in receiving a print or want to commission new art, e-mail me [email protected].
For this poster I drew the pizza playing Eddie Van Halen’s guitar (read below to see why) on the background of a 1967 Martin Sharp Jimi Hendrix poster.
You know what Manhattan and the Lower East Side needs? Creative pizza topped with things like Katz’s Pastrami, red cabbage and 1000 Island dressing on an everything bagel crust (see below). Or a pizza covered in pepperoni, sausage, pickled chiles, and melted Provel cheese (a mixture of mozzarella, provolone and cheddar native to St. Louis) that’s cut party style so it’s just… more… fun (see below). How about a fast food-style burger made with top notch beef on a perfectly squishy, seeded bun served wrapped in wax paper? Or flame-grilled chicken parmesan topped with melted fresh mozz and crispy bread crumbs all resting on tomato sauce and garlicky sauteed kale? And if you want something sweet, how about a S’mores dessert loaded with chocolate and marshmallow that gets hit with a branding iron straight from the wood fire before it reaches your table? This is what Speedy Romeo has been doing in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn for the last few years and as The Infatuation aptly declared “Speedy Romeo is the best restaurant you haven’t been to.” And like the tres Brooklyn space nestled inside a refurbished auto garage, the Manhattan space is also as comfy and cool as an old leather jacket and also cooks only with fire thanks to a bad ass grill and a wood-fired oven painted like Eddie Van Halen’s guitar. Get down to the Lower East Side, ask for one of the co-owners Todd or Chef Justin, tell them the NYC Food Guy sent you and enjoy the great music and food.

In case you missed it on @nycfoodguy Instagram,Facebook or Twitter I appeared on WLNY Channel 55/10 this past Saturday to show off some crazy homemade creations ahead of Super Bowl 50. The theme was “Old vs New” and the goal was to take stodgy old Super Bowl party dishes and flip them on their heads. Watch the video to see how deep fried bacon unites pigs in blankets with nachos, how mac and cheese provides the bun for cheeseburger sliders and why a trip to the donut shop will change everything you thought you knew about Buffalo chicken. Oh and bonus: Nutella, chocolate chip cinnamon rolls made with pizza dough. Super Bowl will never be the same. Now how the hell do I top this spread for next year’s broadcast?! Suggestions welcome.
