Food
So how did you celebrate St. Patrick's Day? I spent the day with few friends eating pies of course. It was also a prelude to my birthday week celebration (yes...birthday week). Which ever pie you get at Four & Twenty Blackbirds make sure to get a dollop of fresh whipped cream and which ever pie you get....it will definitely be delicious. Though I do have my favorites and they are usually the chess pies. Always creamy, always good.

Couple months ago I attended the Dim Sum Y'all dinner at City Grit, run by Sarah Simmons. Then I went back to take some behind the scenes photos and I (smartly) picked the nights that Chef Drew Robinson from Jim 'N Nicks BBQ was guest chefting. And oh my was it awesome to take photos and to be in the kitchen surrounded by pork belly, homemade ham(!), sausages and pimento cheese (if you've been a regular at the Big Apple BBQ Block Party, you'll know about this dish), and bbq pork shoulder.
Chef Josh Gentry, of the soon-to-be-open Little Donkey in Birmingham, Al did his dinner the night before and was there to help out Chef Robinson, was constantly blasting music and kept everyone pumped out during dinner service.
Anyone wanna take a road trip to Alabama?
Last Friday I got invited to friends and family night at Allswell, Chef Nate Smith's new restaurant in Williamsburg (124 Bedford Ave at N. 10th St).
The whole night was fantastic. I was mostly in the kitchen while Nate, Alexis and Sara were pumping out dish after dish. I"m thrill to go back and eat some more because the food that night...oh the food that night was so delicious. Also they have the awesomest wallpapers.
Check out all the photos in the slideshow.
Beef stroganoff dinner at Ian and Mariko's on Fujicolor Pro 800z. I would like to try more different films but the Pro 800z seems like my go-to film or actually I went a bit crazy and bought way too much the first time around. I should try using some Kodak. Another great thing about having friends that live near close to you. Impromptu delicious dinner with homemade pastas and beers!
What film do you shoot with?
