Sometimes there is just no reason to be extra creative and come up with your own spin on a dish. Sometimes you just have to follow a recipe exactly as it is. Sometimes you have to trust that the least amount of ingredients and cooking time is just right – no need for tweaking or [...]

Virtually everywhere they make sausages, and in a lot of places they don’t, some form of sausage in bread combination is sold by street vendors, often to the inebriated, and, in many cases, the consumer is best advised to be under the influence before taking their life in their hands with one of these mystery bag [...]

It’s a truism of my life that some of the more sickening feelings of depression are experienced immediately after the most smugly satisfying. But, I think this maxim applies almost universally when that wonderful sensation of happiness in having discovered the perfectly authentic tapas bar turns to acrid bitterness and choking rancor as a bloated family in sweatsuits and fanny-packs strolls [...]

Yeah, that’s right, it’s a green table…
With our recent post on the free boudin selection, I felt like we might be getting dangerously commercial at We Are Never Full, but that was nothing compared to last night’s dinner at The GreenTable, sponsored, as it was, by those corporate behemoths, Visa Signature.

We literally just walked in after spending our Labor Day afternoon at the annual WIADP (West Indian American Day Parade) on Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn, but to describe what we just witnessed as simply a parade would be akin to saying that scotch bonnet peppers are sometimes a little spicy, i.e. an enormous underestimation.

However, since last Thursday, my first thought is now “when can I have some more?”. [...]

We love pizza. We LOVE pizza. If we could eat one thing for the rest of our lives it would be pizza. During our seven weeks spent in Italy over the past two years, we collectively ate over sixty pizzas. This is not a lie, an exaggeration or a pipe dream. We were not force-fed, [...]

Ok, this is just a quick post to offer a quick laugh. Hey, it’s still food-related! On Tuesday of last week, we went to Barney’s (you know the high-end NYC store) to use a gift certificate we had received from our wedding last summer. Now, I’m sure you think we’re sooooo fabulous [...]
