Anyone living in New York City probably has a love/hate relationship with the absolutely orgasmic pizza from Artichoke Basille’s Pizza & Brewery. Love because, let’s face it, it’s probably the most delicious thing to have after a night of partying and is always worth the line that may even stretch to Nowhere (you know what …
Las Vegas is the Ultimate Glutton’s Paradise, Obviously
August 11, 2011 – After 3 days and 3 nights in Vegas this past weekend, it’s pretty safe to say that my body hates me. I’ve also lost my voice and instead of it sounding sexy I sound like a man. But holy crap, was it fun. Needless to say, Sin City has plenty for …
I Survived Warrior Dash and had a Damn Good Time Doing So
Let me tell you, Warrior Dash was not easy. Even the journey to Windham Mountain in upstate NY was riddled with difficulty, like our car breaking down 15 minutes from the race site (luckily we were saved by a friendly fellow Warrior Dash participant – thank you “Utica”). In the end, we made it to …
Filipino Food is Taking Over Manhattan, and It’s About Damn Time
As someone who grew up on my parents’ Filipino cooking, coming to Manhattan as a freshman at NYU and finding that I had limited choices for fulfilling my Filipino food craving was kind of disheartening. Cendrillon closed in my first year in the city, leaving places like Elvie’s Turo Turo and Pistahan, but those eventually closed a year or so …
How to Train for Warrior Dash (sort of)
First off, apologies for the huge delay in posts. From all the packing, moving out of my St. Marks apartment (sadface), unpacking, and getting my life (aka stuff) back in order, I’ve just been too busy/lazy to update this. But now I’m temporarily back in my house in the dirty Jerz until I move back …
The Glutton’s Guide to NYC Restaurant Week
After 4 years of living in the city and active participation in both the winter and summer restaurant weeks despite being a college student (read: poor), I’ve now managed to eat at enough places to come up with this guide. Now there’s certainly way more than 25 restaurants that have RW (I’ll be abbreviating restaurant …
Foodparc & Beerparc: A diverse, tech-savvy food court meets cool, but confusing beer garden
On Sunday, I checked out the recently opened Foodparc and its attached beer garden Beerparc, located on 6th Ave. between 29th and 30th St. The 20,000(!) square foot indoor/outdoor space hosts multiple eateries featuring everything from pasta served on flatbreads at Fornetti (which looked amazing) and burgers and other grilled fare at 3B’s to French …
Today I had juice for lunch (and breakfast and dinner…)
So I just started a 3 day combination juice/raw cleanse. Considering all the junk and alcohol I consume, I’ve always wanted to do a cleanse to detox my system (and maybe even shred a few pounds). Of course, the idea of a diet consisting of solely juice is kind of scary, especially for someone who …
Review: Refined French Prix Fixe for NYC Restaurant Week at JoJo
In case you’re out of the loop, it’s Restaurant Week in NYC, where for a very reasonable $24.07 or $35 you get a 3-course pre-fixe lunch or dinner, respectively, at some of the city’s best restaurants. Now anyone who knows me knows that I am a huge fan of it, dining at a minimum of …
Welcome to No Gut Glutton (plus a Disclaimer)
Welcome friends and strangers to my finally conceived food blog. As someone who has always been a foodie, trying new places, recommending restaurants to friends, and spamming Facebook with my own food porn in the form of mobile uploads (sorry for that, btw), I’ve been saying for the past 2 years that I’ve always wanted …
