Things we love...

There is all this hype about a little place called Porchetta here in NYC. We think the sandwich is tasty, but be sure to try the Brooklyn Flee version which is by far tastier than the storefront (it's the bread!). A lot of people have weighed in their opinions on this sandwich- some absolutely love it and some are not impressed, you can Read NY Mags review here. Well we are here to tell you that while we love the sandwich, the real gem at Porchetta is the SALT! Full of Sicilian sea-salt, fennel pollen, fennel seed, sage and other deliciousness it is like magic savory fairy dust and we can not get enough of it! If you live in NYC go get this salt. If you don't live in NYC call a friend and have them go get it for you and pop it in the mail. It is that good. At $6 it is a steal, and don't limit yourself to pork- this stuff is delicious on anything- we love to rub it on chicken before we pop it in the oven, and it is equally good on veggies like brussel sprouts!

Vans x Mademe Launch Party


Vans hired me to do some snacks for their launch party for the new colab sneakers with Mademe. The new House of Vans space in Brooklyn is ridiculous and the event was literally "totally off the wall". Performances by Nina Sky and Kelis, live photo booth projection, skateboarders going full throttle out back, confetti fluttering from the ceiling, people decked out in the most amazing outfits you've ever seen and the Calexico boys even rolled in for the pre-party press event. We supplied candy for the bodega style bar set ups and popcorn in black vellum cones and vans cups. I was thrilled to be a part of this event- The House of Vans was poppin'!
