Hungry Hippo

To my non-existent readers, this here is the first installment of my very own food blog. I've talked about this for months, so finally it has arrived. All that talk, however, results in built up expectations from my putative future readers, and I'm already going to be letting down a few of them. I'd promised that the first installment would feature the experience of dining at an All-You-Can-Eat Japanese restaurant (the buffet table being approximately the same length as a city block--possibly not as impressive when living in any other American city, but in NYC, it is positively awe-inspiring). Unfortunately, being overwhelmed by the sheer amount of food and the corporate décor, my camera never left my handbag as I methodically stuffed my face for almost two hours. So here's a shout out to Minado, the lovely AYCE restaurant, and the gut-busting chow down we all had there, sans photos.

At any rate, I intend to blab about food related escapades and document all forms of food enjoyment, from straight up gluttony to interesting/exotic food finds to (hopefully) recipes.
