Do you dig comfort foods like loaded potato skins or loaded baked potatoes? If so, then you might be intrigued to know that the Loaded Potato Pancake is a thing that exists. I discovered this decadent fried delight when I visited Junior’s Restaurant in Times Square with my friend Jamie last week for a post-theater snack, and I was blown away by its extreme tastiness. Seriously; I am going to be talking about it for the rest of my life. Continue reading Loaded Potato Pancake at Juniors in Times Square→
My memories of watching daytime TV Game Shows mostly involve being a kid who was home sick from school, or on summer vacation, because when else was I going watch them? What that means is that these memories of The Price is Right and Let’s Make a Deal are many decades in the past as this point, and yet they are quite clear and bring on a huge wave of fond nostalgia. This is probably why John Miller’s Here in the Real World, up now at the Mary Boone Gallery’s Chelsea location, resonated with me so strongly.
Here in the Real World features Miller’sGame Show Paintings (which he started painting in 1995) and his more recent series of reality TV personalities (started 2012), in which Miller selects images of people in purportedly uncontrived poses and paints them in a realist manner. Mary Boone’s cavernous room provides a perfect space for this show, which features many large scale canvases. Before I post more photos of the paintings however, I want to show you this:
Yes, that is a potato that was hanging out on the gallery’s front lobby carpet. Everybody wanted to know why there was a potato on the floor, and was it part of the show. And the answer is: I don’t know, but it is on a red carpet, so it must be important in some way.
A Funny Forum Happened on the Way to the Thing
Paintings like the one on the far right, above, made me feel five years old instantly.
How great is this? So great.

This is like a still frame from a dream isn’t it?

Do you like chips? I sure do. One kind of chip I really enjoy is the Sweet Potato Chip, because they are so very delicious. I confess that when I see a bag or bowl of Terra Chips at a party, I hover around it and pick out all of the Sweet Potato Chips for myself. Because that is how I roll. I believe that is was at the recent Summer Fancy Food Show where I picked up a sample bag of One Potato Two Potato brand Sweet Potato Chips, and subsequently fell in love with this tasty and all natural snack.

Hey what’s up. Did you see that crazy rain storm last night here in Manhattan? It was just insane! Lisa and I safely watched the captivating Monsoon activity, including deep, swirling vortexes of water stretching up to six feet from the curb, from the cozy comfort of our storefront window table at Rickshaw Dumplings on 23rd Street, where we dined on a “Bacon Feast for 2” courtesy of Thrillist Rewards. Because, Lisa and I are all about the Bacon. Continue reading Bacon Thing of The Day: Rickshaw Dumplings Bacon Feast From Thrillist Rewards!→
