Elliott Cooks Rears it’s Not-So-Ugly Head…Again


So I've been out of touch for a while, and the last image most of you have of me, is my whining like a little bitch about some assholes in Queens and a guy who proved himself to not be a friend of mine.
Well, all that is in the past. And you know what I said to an actual friend of mine when I met him for lunch the other day...? "Who the fuck wants to go to Long Island City, anyway?!?!"

So I’ve been working hard, in a kitchen I love with a crew I like and I’ve been spending my free time either asleep, cooking for friends or on a barstool.
A while back someone got on this site and sent me a message telling me to, basically, quit my bellyaching and get back to telling funny stories and doling out recipes and advice. So that’s what I’m doing. It also helps that I was able to convince myself not to go to my version of Cheers and slowly let the minutes slip into hours and the hours translate into being too lazy and too drunk to take the subway home when I decide to leave.

So what can you expect in the coming weeks, ya’know, besides my actually posting on here? Jalapeno & Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies; grill recipes for Summer; awesome Spring produce coming to a market near you; my second Durian experience and taking the sandwich to new and ridiculous heights.

So I’m back. Hope you didn’t miss me too much. But here we go…Funny stories, recipes, complaints, rants, and a new segment titled: “What’s keeping me up this week.” In short, the whole nine yards, a bag of Funions and juice box!

What’s Keeping Me Up This Week?:
I can’t really talk a lot of shit, because I haven’t been to many of the restaurants he’s reviewed; but Sam Sifton seems to be handing out Stars like bars dole out those NYC Condoms…
