ACCOUNTING FOR EVERY BITE.

I wish I could cook the books.

ABC7 Says I’m A “Food Paparazzi” – 4.22.10 – National Broadcast

April 30, 2010 | 2 comments

So remember that kABC7 story I was so excited about just last week?

…Well, we’ve gone national.

Now if only my 2-second sound bite had some kind of link to my blog but, alas, that’d be too easy to get national coverage. But, for all you people out there watching the clip, you know that’s me! (I’m up to a total of 7-seconds of fame! Whoo!)

ABC7 Says I’m A “Food Paparazzi” – 4.22.10 – Local Broadcast

April 24, 2010 | 7 comments

For those that may not know, I WAS ON TV TODAY. Local news, yes, but on camera nonetheless!

kABC7 in Los Angeles did a little bit about the “food paparazzi” (i.e. people who take pictures of food at restaurants) as part of their 11 o’clock news and yours truly was featured in it. It’s an understatement that I was freaking out when I saw myself on screen – my hands are still shaking a little bit.

Our little on-screen moment was shot at Petrossian, a restaurant that, from my prior reviews (here and here), you should all know I love. Not only is the food amazing, but the lighting there is just so perfect – not much editing needed to get deliciously enticing photos.

Thus, in honor of my little 5-second on screen performance, a sneak peek into my most recent meal at Petrossian. (You can read the actual review here).

TED2010 with Jamie Oliver – It’s About Food.

February 12, 2010 | 0 comments

“I wish for your help to create a strong, sustainable movement to educate every child about food, inspire families to cook again and empower people everywhere to fight obesity.”

It’s amazing watching Jamie Oliver give this speech at TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) 2010. I remember being drawn to the man years ago when he was just a TV chef. To see him now, to hear his passion towards education about food and diet…

This video moved me.

Food is something that everyone battles and the winners are based on cost and convenience. Eating should be a conscious choice. I’m lucky in that I was taught about healthy eating; when I don’t eat the best things, at least I recognize I’m making a poor choice. I know some may not be so lucky.

Spread the word. Let’s educate people about food.

EVENT: Sidewalk Party at Mozza2Go – 2.6.10, 12:30PM

February 3, 2010 | 0 comments

Are you or one of your friends a member of Blackboard Eats?
Do you have a 30% off discount code for Mozza2Go?
Do you realize that code expires on Feb. 6th?

Thus, SIDEWALK PARTY! (We can’t eat in Mozza – thus the 2Go part – but we can party it up outside with our pizzas!)

Join us on Saturday, Feb. 6th outside Mozza2Go. Sitting around on the sidewalk, chatting with friends, chomping down on some damn good pizza…can you think of anything better?

IMPORTANT NOTES:
- PLEASE ORDER BY PHONE BEFORE YOU SHOW UP. That way, you’re not waiting around for an hour for food.
- If you would like to attend but don’t have a code, please comment below - I’ll do my best to find you a code to share.
- Try to carpool. Knowing that area, parking will be a pain.
- It’s scheduled to rain on Saturday – Remember to bring an umbrella! (I’ll be there, rain or shine!)

See you all there!

(Btw, if you have a Blackboard Eats code you’re not using and would like to donate it to our party, please comment!)

UPDATE: So I received a message from someone from Blackboard Eats encouraging us to go to Mozza2Go but to eat elsewhere out of respect for Mozza’s neighbors (which I understand). Thus, does anyone have any suggestions on where to take this delicious food to eat?
