Hump Day Reviews: hmph. snooze.
Another Wednesday brings us another round of terribly snooze inducing reviews. Can someone inject some speed into the veins of these guys so we can get something interesting going on? I’ll pay you.

- Platty one stars Jean-Georges favorite Matsugen. Calls it “tepid, non–Jean-Georges cooking”. I never [...]

Wednesday Reviews

Coffee collabo
The espresso collabo of the century
After what seems like years of trying to perfect my espresso and iced coffee making skills, I finally reached what is known to me as the purrfection: A Moka pot + Lavazza espresso. A moka pot makes the best cup of strong and hot espresso as the coffee is brewed [...]
