Cheesy Jalapeño Scalloped Potatoes
The recipe was inspired by the scalloped potatoes I had in NYC. Took my friend to Ocean Prime in Manhattan near the Rockefeller Center. Pretty posh place. I pulled out my fancy shoes that I can barely walk in for the occasion. We had so much fun (and so much booze) that I ended the…
Spicy Penne alla Vodka Recipe
In 2021, I became a traveling foodie. I disguised it as a “photographer”, but whatever. It is what it is. Everywhere I travel, I research the best restaurants in the area before the hotels. Because, you know…priorities. I had a shoot in Chicago earlier this month. My model/friend recommended that we try Tavern on the…

It’s only right that I share my version of this southern classic with you. It’s important to grab firm tomatoes. That guarantees freshness and prevents the…
Sweet Chili Chicken Crispers
My family loves this one, particular restaurant. Me, not so much. But, the chicken tender thingy’s aren’t so bad. I appreciate that the chicken is thin and tendon less. The honey chipotle sauce is great, too. But, I’ve always wondered what they would taste like with sweet chili sauce. So, I had to find out.…
