I’m not going to waste your time with drivel – there’s not a lot of news to start the year. I’ll leave it up to you as to whether you want to click ‘More’ or get back to that Harlequin romance boxed-set you bought yourself for the Holidays. [Read more…] about SLOW START TO 2016 IN LIC
One word for the upcoming year: Roadkill. Hugue Dufour whispered it to me recently, and in typical M. Wells fashion he plans to up the ante by adding a ‘carpaccio’ appetizer and a tartar special.
Hey c’mon, this chic cuisine is environmentally friendly – waste not want not. It’s even pulling in some long time vegetarians of the PETA strain, who have never been fully enraptured with the versatility of tofu.
This is not the first cutting edge culinary trend to emanate from the backwoods, where ‘noodling’ ((oh I bet noodling wasn’t what you thought it would be before clicking thru. Maybe you were thinking something resembling the noun of the word, or your perverse mind went in another direction)) is a way of life for many in selected ‘red’ states. And I remember putting syrup on everything throughout high school after reading ‘To Kill A Mockingbird’ (that’s what you get ma for making me read literature in lieu of comic books).
Fear not vegans, by this time next year I’m predicting the next food craze to also have a literary, but non-carnivore bent: an updated version of Wonka Gum – with an entire three-course dinner available in one stick. If so, dates will never be the same, and sommeliers will become extinct. Just hope they get the dessert portion tweaked.

A new article written in a soccer publication, makes a well-thought-out case that Sunnyside Yards could be the optimal location to build a stadium for the NYCFC. That would be the NYC Football Club for the bulk of us not familiar with the acronym, but don’t let this new professional soccer team’s relative obscurity make you relegate the stadium idea as a lark.
That is because [Read more…] about SOCCER STADIUM TO ANCHOR SUNNYSIDE YARDS PROJECT?
