While reading 'Heat' by Bill Buford (a great book about working in a restaurant kitchen, click on the link for a review), he mentioned that Mario Batali's first restaurant in NYC was Pó (which I think is a river in Italy). So, yesterday I was with my cousin and a good friend and we were hoping to have an early dinner at Pearl Oyster Bar (which I'm sure I'll write about the next time I go there) but Pearl wasn't quite open yet and I saw Pó across the street and decided to try it. Batali has since moved on the Babbo et al. and no longer has part ownership in Pó but it seems like the food has maintained it's excellence.

I guess that since I've gotten older I've discovered that I've grown fonder of food. I don't mean a lot of food but I do mean food that tastes good to me. I think I started this blog just so I can track where, what and when I've eaten since food has become such a passionate part of my life. So, I hope you enjoy what you read and hopefully you can take some of the stops of this food journey with me.

P.S. I live in New York City so what better city to begin in...
