The Forker

slightly less ephemeral than the meal itself

We're back in LA. In NY we ate well on the streets. We kept Momofuku afloat and drank coffee at Abraco on 7th street in the EV, lots of Angelica's hippy kitchen, many juices at Liquiteria, a bizarre meal at the spaceship Jewel Bako baked eggs at Gemma and tater tots and a hot dog at crif dogs on St. Mark's Place. I also at some mushrooms. From a plastic bag, those kind. At home we ate things like buttery sea scallops and quinoa.



And for the child, egg curds and tiny pieces of whole grain toast. Glad we got to see all of you. Come to California we'll make you a health shake and a ham sandwich.

Two of my friends/former co-workers just opened a coffee shop and cafe over on 4th Avenue and Carroll in Brooklyn. It's called Root Hill Cafe, and I can recommend the yummy breakfast burrito and the fancy coffee made in the Clover machine. The space is also quite stylish and roomy. So check it out if you are in the area. Afterwards you could get a beer & play some pool with the nice ladies at Catty Shack.
