'hello, this is the department of redundancy department. we think you have tossed out our cereal. could you please replace it as soon as possible before our children go crazy? thank you.'

you would think i found this in the garbage in some foreign country - nope - on 23rd and 8th avenue in new york city. just thought it was funny. must be one of those brands kellogg's decided not to develop.

hottie-crush :: dale levitski

so i'm obsessed. i'm obsessed with the reality television programs on bravo - but more specifically - i'm obsessed with this season of top chef. when i first heard that this concept was coming to life (2 seasons ago) - i have to admit - i didn't think it would work. it's amazing. the people they've pulled together to compete keep you coming back every week to see what's cooking.

my obsession with a contestant has been a common theme around my other friends. we are all obsessed with the cutie with the mohawk - dale levitski. this guy is from chicago - he's gay - and he's nothing short of awkwardly cute. i hope he makes it through to the very end. i do know he's one of the reason i come back for more every week. so - i am choosing to feature him as the first hottie-crush. we'll see who else makes the list from here on out. good luck dale!

i didn't hate it - didn't love it either. i decided to go the healthy route and got a turkey burger. i just felt it had little flavor really. it was paired with goat cheese and bacon (i mean how can you go wrong with both of those) but on the whole - nothing sang to me. i'll go back for sure - it wasn't bad - just wasn't over the top either.

oh where to begin really? all around - this place is consistently a great spot for the not-so-healthy but definitely filling and satisfying heaping hunk of comfort food. well - comfort food for me - grits, collard greens, fried chicken - i mean - what can be bad about that?

southern soul food and caribbean food at it's best. i particularly am fond of the fried green tomatoes as an appetizer. the stuffed porkchop is to die for but it's enough food for 12 armies. the staff is always nice. the drinks are always fantastic. and the cornbread - oh my god the cornbread.

it's a jem - it's amazing - a slice of 'goodness' right in chelsea.
