UPDATE: Social Eatz Has Closed For Business as of March 2013
I’m a big fan of Top Chef since I got hip to the show in its second season. I am especially enjoying this season’s “All Stars” competition, featuring favorite Cheftestants from past seasons, and am excited for the finale beginning tonight, and then wrapping up in next Wednesday’s episode (Richard Blais for the win)!

One of my New Year’s Resolutions for 2011 is to enjoy the company of good friends while dining in fine restaurants as often as possible. No one can accuse me of not sticking to my resolutions, because last night I had an amazing meal at chef Jonathan Waxman’s Barbuto Restaurant on Washington Street near the Meatpacking District. My dining companions were my longtime friend Ivy, her charming husband Rick and their adorable daughter Violet, who is the best kid you could ever hope to have, let me tell you.

“I Am A Dreamy French Sex God, and Also a Great Chef”
Since there are arguably no real Rock Stars anymore, I like to say that the new Rock Stars are Artists, Comedians and Celebrity Chefs.

Ike and I sat outdoors on the covered patio, because it was still kind of warmish out (though they have heat lamps for when it gets colder, which will be any second now) and sipped a couple of thirst quenching, half-priced alcoholic beverages, because it was still Happy Hour.

Trailer Park Lounge Cheeseburger and Tots!
When it comes to tasty foods, the Cheeseburger (or, even better, the Bacon Cheeseburger) is high on the list of our favorites here at The Worley Gig. Last night, I was making the scene at Heavy Metal Happy Hour over at Arrow Bar on Avenue A and had the pleasure to make the acquaintance of Dave (aka The Rev) who, among other daily pursuits that rock, is on the quest to find the most delicious Burger – not just here in NYC but perhaps in the entire world.
