Thai One On

20 Apr 2007, Posted by Jennifer Iannolo in Uncategorized

Mark and I finally had a chance to dine at Pam Real Thai Food (49th St betw. 9th & 10th) in NYC, and it lived up to everything we’ve been hearing. Among other rave reviews, a friend of mine told me it was the best Thai she’s had outside of Bangkok, so all we needed was an excuse and a MetroCard. We sampled Duck Tamarind, Pad Thai (had to test it out), Lemongrass Shrimp, and the ever-elusive Nuar Nam Tok. I have been searching for that damn salad everywhere in NY, and have at last found it! On their menu…

15 Apr 2007, Posted by Jennifer Iannolo in news & buzz

Well, our pal Matt Griffin continues to sweep the media. The Baker’s Edge was featured in today’s NY Times Style section in the article “Fire, the Wheel and, of Course, Mop Slippers.” Here is an excerpt (Matt appears on p.2): In Carmel, Ind., an urban planner and home baker named Matthew Griffin invented a brownie pan that ingeniously makes every brownie have at least two crispy edges. “When we launched it we thought we had a niche product,” Mr. Griffin said. “We liked corner brownies and were trying to create a new market, catering to the edge lover.” A few…

Chef Hats Off!

11 Apr 2007, Posted by Jennifer Iannolo in food

You know, the Gilded Fork test kitchen would not be what it is without the royals, Queen Lia and the Pastry Princess (a.k.a. Lia Soscia and Monica Glass). Just last night, Chef Mark and I were marveling at how much these two have contributed to our recipe section, from kitchen tips to photos to mouthwatering combinations of ingredients. So thank you, ladies, for all you do here. Our chef hats are off to you, and we are not only grateful for, but inspired by, your contributions to the Gilded Fork. Ooh, the elves are going to be so jealous.

PodCamp NYC

08 Apr 2007, Posted by Jennifer Iannolo in food

Mark and I spent the weekend at PodCamp NYC with our fellow podcasters and new media brethren (and sistren?), and we had a blast! We finally got to meet some of the people who are part of our daily lives, and hugs were given all around. The spirit of camaraderie at PodCamp was exhilarating — there were recorders and earbuds as far as the eye could see, and more than anything else, a desire to share information so we could each take our mission of new media to the next level. Best of all, it was an un-conference, so sessions…
