Wow!
A great big THANK YOU to Foodista for including me in the article! Thanks also to Kim Severson at the New York Times, and the awesome Axel Koester for all the lovely photos he took of me in my kitchen! That’s me (above, right) about to cook a tray of bacon-wrapped breadsticks in the [...]

Au Revoir LudoBites

Tomorrow (Sat. 8/22) is the final dinner service for Chef Ludo Lefebvre’s LudoBites, so I wanted to share some of the tasty food photos from recent visits. Six mind-blowing dinners in all (so far), with some of the most delicious plates of art I’ve ever devoured!
The official LudoBites website states: “LudoBites is a guerilla style [...]

Thank you Foodista!

Use Twitter For Inexpensive Marketing

This morning on Twitter, @ZagatBuzz posted a link to an article on the Boston Globe titled, “Restaurants using Twitter for cheap, effective marketing”. Of course I instantly retweeted (if you’re unfamiliar with Twitter, that just means I resent it to my followers), and also decided to add the link here on MyLastBite.
Over the past few months [...]

After downloading Tweetdeck (for free) and realizing I could actually organize my Twitter subscriptions (aka friends), I decided to search out and “add” as many tweople (twitter people) as I could in one [...]

Meeting Dom DeLuise

The ultimate foodie, Dom DeLuise, passed away yesterday at age 75.
It was thirty years ago, when I met the kind and generous comic during a school trip to 20th Century Fox Studio. Dom came out to greet us kids, and then he invited us onto the “Fatso” set (directed by Anne Bancroft) for an impromptu [...]

My Friend Afaf

My friend Afaf loves to cook, and only recently started to share her authentic, Syrian recipes online. It’s a real treat for those of us who are looking for unusual and exciting (yet still comforting) dishes to cook at home. 
Yesterday, her food and recipe post was rated #2 on Foodbuzz (out of 2,639 posts that day), [...]

The 900 Degree Oven

My favorite Indian restaurant is currently featured on the cover of “Studio City Lifestyle” magazine. I wish I could find an online version of it, so I could share the entire article with everyone, but here’s a paragraph from the cover story printed on page four.
Gangadin Indian Cuisine is owned by Manmeet Singh Sahni and [...]
