Celebrating the 4th at Smokey Joe’s

Thursday, July 3rd, 2008

In the spirit of July 4th, my co-workers and I decided to celebrate the holiday with what else, barbecue! We’ve been going to Smokey Joe’s in Stamford for years.  It’s the perfect place to blow your diet.

The food’s served up cafeteria-style.  

What’s BBQ without the sides? 

My plate of BBQ heaven: Baby-back ribs, collard greens, mashed sweet potatoes and extra sauce.

Why are the women on one side, and the men on the other?  Here’s the happy group with bellies full of smoked meat.  

Food coma time.  

Have a happy and safe July 4th!

Meeting an Eating Legend

Sunday, April 27th, 2008

Here’s a recent pic at Coney Island with competitive eating legend Eric “Badlands” Booker (the big guy pointing).  We were shooting a piece on hot dogs for History.com and Badlands was nice enough to meet up with us at Nathan’s for an interview and mock hot dog eating contest.  The dude can pound them down; I watched him devour 11 dogs in 3 minutes.  We took this pic after the contest and he looked no worse for the wear. He’s also one of the nicest guys you’ll meet.
