East Village Eats

Food & Drink recommendations straight from the East Village, New York City

Turkey Leg Ball

With Immaculate Infatuation‘s Turkey Leg Ball jumping off tonight at 7:30, I’d be doing myself a disservice if I didn’t recap last year’s awesome event that they hosted with Cooking Channel.  Back in 2010 I really wasn’t clued up that much on food event etiquette & made a few rookie mistakes (not to be repeated this year).  The event […]

Bacon Caramel Toffee

I recently received a box of Vosges’ Bacon Caramel Toffee as a gift from a foodie friend.  Basically I think that any flavor can be enhanced by bacon & desserts/chocolate/toffee is no exception!  The toffee & chocolate are both delicious, but it’s the addition of Nueske‘s Applewood Smoked Bacon that puts these tasty little treats […]
