Hello to all of our faithful readers. During my inaugural post, I would like to welcome you to what may become the greatest blog in the history of my friends and our shared obsession for food. I look forward to having to constrain myself from devouring whatever is in front of me when I am all too hungry and instead, whipping out a camera and patiently try to take the most cinematographic photo I can of my meal. Our readers deserve nothing less than the best exposures, angles, lighting, and so on.
As a disclaimer though, I no longer carry a camera around with me at all times, so the camera phone on my cell phone with have to do. I think we'll manage (if the food looks salivating enough that is). So here we go.
EMPANADAAAASSSS
My production coordinator at work has this favorite local madre n' padre place where he likes us to order lunch from. He recommends their empanadas, filled with chorizo, potatoes, cheese, and Mexican spices. These are fried however, and I think I prefer baked empanadas, but still quite good. Also, the beans at Tere's Mexican Grill really appeal to me, and I am not normally a fan of them.
DAN-TAH BUT AWESOMER
This weekend at a fundraiser presentation in the Bay Area, one of our supporters brought a plethora of Asian dessert-type treats. While they were all very good, the creme brulee-like Dan Ta took the cake (har har!). You'll see the dark brown spots on top, which were the carmelized sugar. Combine that with the usual good taste of an egg tart and well, you have a winner. This photo was taken after I ate four of them, as well as the other 20 people. So, I'm not kidding when I say we had A LOT of snacks. And this was only 1 of probably 7 large platters.
I think the odds of Ming gaining 12 pounds in one hour if he were to attend this presentation were...well, no, no odds. He would have easily gained 12 pounds. No doubt about it.
AN EPIC BATTLE BREWS?!?!
Lastly, this photo is not of real food obviously, but I think it works for our blog, especially if it entices Karen to post. It is a giant Chipotle burrito blimp, and it would fly around the arena during intermission periods of Dallas Stars hockey games. It would hover above the fans and sporadically drop Chipotle coupons. It was pretty exciting.
I guess you could say that if our little Foodasaur guy (we need a name for him) was say, Godzilla (they're both green and hungry!), then this Chipotle blimp would be Mothra (they fly!). Except Mothra would be nice and poop out little coupons for everyone...and our little Godzilla would try to eat the Mothra, and then be really sad that Mothra is just full of air, and not marinated shredded beef, black beans, rice, and salsa and other Mexican spices.
Mexican spices Justin. Mexican spices.
Now move to LA.
