Omiyage from Japan. Thanks Pinc and Perke! Each individually wrapped disc of ebi senbei (shrimp crackers) smacks you in the face with real shrimp aroma when opened. Also gives me the breath of a sea mongrel, according to T.

Transitioned from an afternoon pot of Gorilla coffee to an evening pint of Brooklyn Intensified Coffee Stout, made with Stumptown beans. No problems going to sleep later on.

"A slice of pizza from Colony Grill in Stamford, CT. It's a hole in the wall dive, but my absolute favorite that I always go back to, even 3 years after moving to Boston.

Toppings of choice? Hot oil and pepperoni. The 'roni comes from DeYulio's Sausage Company, right across the street."

Girl Interrupted Eating/East Midlands, UK

We have never featured borscht on this blog and I decided today was the day. A quick Flickr search turned up "Borscht with bread."

Pupusas from a Red Hook vendor at Brooklyn Flea in DUMBO. I asked for all the peppers and sauces because the colors were so great.

Lots of work, too much coffee. This is what happens at 3 pm in the life of a freelancer.

Gayathri/NYC









the paper dosa had an estimated diameter of 3 feet unrolled & is accompanied by potato masala, mint coconut chutney, & a vaguely spicy sambar. hunt for dosa was inspired by my dear friend of 11 years michael who had come to visit, & triumph occurred at one of my south indian strongholds, madras mahal at 28th & lexington (one of the first indian restaurants in the united states of america). more modestly-sized dosas were a staple of my saturday mornings as a south indian young person so it's hardwired for me as a soul food that is crisp with rice & protein. despite it's telescopic nature there is nothing to see within or beyond the eyehole of the dosa :(.
