Food Porn Friday- Tasting Brooklyn 2011


I was really excited to get an invite to the First Annual (well, I hope it will be annual) Tasting Brooklyn event that occurred this past Tuesday, April 5. It was sponsored by Brooklyn Exposed, a Brooklyn lifestyle website, to celebrate the culmination of its first year. I've started to write for the site recently, and I've got a link to my most recent article on my Facebook wall.

What was most fun about Tasting Brooklyn was that it highlighted such a range of restaurants and food vendors that sometimes don't make it to the major food blogs or news outlets on a regular basis.

Here's a sampling of what I saw and ate (actually I shouldn't have eaten much of anything since I was only two days out from my juice cleanse. More on that another time).

Tasting Brooklyn was packed when I arrived at Dumbo Loft.


Braised Beef Cheek ravioli from Fornino in Park Slope


Fornino also brought a cocktail called The Park Slope


Duck & Okra Gumbo from Tchoup Shop. They sell their Cajun Creole inspired food at the bar dba in Williamsburg during the summer months.




The Breucklen cupcake from Robicellis - Dutch inspired Apple cake, Cinnamon Caramel Buttercream topped with Stroopwafel. Robiccellis was voted one of the best cupcakes in NYC by Serious Eats NY.


I also got to see some old friends like Jessica Pichardo (on the right), the owner of Linger Cafe. I wrote about Linger last year. She brought her light and lovely kale salad.

It was a really great event and turnout for Brooklyn Exposed, and I wish the site all the best in its second year.

Happy Weekend!
