It’s the holiday season, so here’s an obligatory pumpkin recipe! Don’t skimp on the fry time for the chickpeas- you want them as crispy as possible. Quinoa salad with rocket, roasted pumpkin, and apples ingredients: Quinoa A Pumpkin, peeled, seeded, and sliced (I used a kombucha) Chickpeas, cooked (canned are ok) Apples, cubed Arugula Balsamic [...]

Dear Bay Area, You must have known by now that Pancake Moustache is in San Francisco, CA. Gotta say, amazing food out here- great produce, tacos, and coffee. Compared to the east coast, there must be 2x the number of asian people, and subsequently, some of the best Chinese, Thai, Japanese, Vietnamese, and Korean fare in the country. You do all of that so well, but Bay Area, why is your pizza so lackluster? Take a look at some of these pictures from Manchester, CT. Please make something comparable, and I will owe you a coke. Sincerely, Pancake Moustache

Just spent a week on the east coast while visiting my mom for her birthday (Happy Birthday Mom!). She lives a few miles from small bakery that specializes in cupcakes. Now, you can shit on the whole cupcake fad if you'd like. You've probably got a point. Does the world really need a mint-mojito dessert that's been primed to look like a cat? Probably not. But as a full-grown male with complete heterosexual tendencies, I've got to admit, I love them.

Pulled Lamb Sandwiches with Roasted Garlic Tzatziki

Lamb = ballsy food. If you cooked a few shanks in turpentine they'd probably still come out tasting like Bambi. Here lamb stands up to a handful of garlic cloves, strong grain mustard, and some bitter radicchio. You could eat this as a stew, or serve the shanks whole with some root vegetables, rice, spaetzle, or something. But in this case, the meat is preemptively tossed in a sandwich with a creamy sauce.

Berry Cobbler with Nacho Streusel and Lime Ice Cream

It's stoner fare- crushed up corn chips with some sweet, colored slop. Give it a chance, though. Streusel topping is a good catch all if you don't go too crazy. Get the right level of sweetness/saltiness, a good amount of texture, and some interesting flavors, and pretty much anything will fly.

They've been doing construction on the apartment next door for over a month now. It's my day off. It's raining, and it's freezing- better get some ice cream. Apparently the same people who run the Birthright Israel trips also run day excursions in and around the bay area. You don't need to be Jewish to attend, so much as you need to appear Jewish. With a name like mine, if the Nazis ever rise to power again, I'm sure to be first in line to take a shower. So I have no qualms about tagging along for free ice cream. Thanks again guys! On to the ice cream...
