UPDATE 12/21/2019: Sadly, Grower’s Organic has suspended their GOBOX program. The post that follows is historical information about the GOBOX program. Over the last year I’ve been reading about “ugly” produce — fruits and veggies that are thrown out because they have funny shapes or slight imperfections. Why does this happen in the first place? […]
During my first year in Denver, I’ve had lots of amazing food I haven’t had a chance to write about yet. Now that the end of the year is here, it’s time to give props to some of those fabulous spots. Here’s my list of the top best brunch or breakfasts in Denver right now: […]

Earlier this year, when I saw that a “contemporary farm-to-table Thai cuisine” restaurant was opening up nearby, I was hopeful but cautious. You see, in NYC, you can’t throw a rock down a street without hitting the door of some amazing Thai/Chinese/Vietnamese/Malaysian/Japanese/etc. joint. However, much to my shock and horror, in my short time here […]

A pretty bold statement, I know. But that’s exactly how I felt after going on my first extended backpacking trip – a 14-day hike in the Wind River Wilderness Range in the western region of Wyoming in July of this year.

UPDATED 12/22/2018: Sadly Hi*Rise Bakery is now closed. One of the things I miss about NYC is the corner bodega with a hot grill. The Quick Stop Deli on Bedford Street used to be my spot for a dirt-cheap classic egg ‘n’ cheese on a roll on a weekend morning. (Only thing I hated was […]
