Food News!

Happy Cinco de Mayo and Book Giveaway!!!



The Red Hook Mercado coming back May 15th! For over 30 years delicious, traditional Central American food has been cooked and sold at the Red Hook Ballfields, including dishes made by New York Vendy First Prize Award Winner Fernando Martinez of Country Boys and Summer Stage headliner Rafael Soler of Soler Dominican. There will also be new vendors joining the regulars this year, including Erin Norris of the forthcoming and much awaited for sausage parlor Grindhaus. Norris will be serving Spicy Bitches, a kind of corn dog produced for Norris by Brooklyn’s own Meat Hook. FattyCakes NY will also be there! Owner Jennifer Taylor has created a Brooklyn cookie company that will custom bake cookies in any flavor combo you want. She's also got some crazy combos of her own for sale, including the Movie Theater Cookie, a chocolate chip cookie with buttered popcorn and gummy fish ‒ can wait to check it out!

Cinco de Mayo without a Sunset Park entry? No puede ser!

That's okay, I'm sure you'll get around to savoring more good stuff from the nabe soon. Summer is the time to do it!

I'd love the book, but I'm still working through Coe's _Chop Suey_- half way done. Thanks again for that!

I love this blog. Its gotten me to some great places in other neighborhoods in Brooklyn. Thanks. Also, I'm making another go at keeping a vegan diet and a cookbook would help.
