We started our Dude Food series this spring in order to mix up the usual BGSK offerings with interviews and submissions for and by dudes. As you can image, having “big girls” in our name has been a bit of a deterrent for the male population. We like to think of this section as the man cave below the BGSK kitchen. If you have ideas, become a dude food contributor!
Food Republic is not too old but already it’s become the go-to food site for guys on the net. Its daily articles, recipes, and news…
Connecticut here we come! We’ll be doing a reading and signing (via Elm Street Books) at the New Canaan Library on Tuesday, July 26th at 7:30pm. Click here for more info, and about their Authors on Stage series!
We shared our tips and tricks with the guys over at Marcus Samuelson’s site, Food Republic. Check them out here, and make sure to tune in for FR’s editor, Richard Martin’s take on how guys and girls differ when it comes to cooking as part of this week’s dude food column!

Trust me, after nearly three years of doing this, we know how to win your heart. Whether it’s pancakes, beer and beef, or lotus blondies, we’ve found a way to appeal to the people in our lives with the creations of our kitchens.
But if you want to win my heart, here is what you do: drive up to Ipswich, Mass, buy me the largest basket of fried clams they sell, and instantaneously transport them back to Brooklyn, where they’ll arrive briny and still crunchy and perfect. Fried seafood,…

As any of my high school friends will tell you (especially Cara and Jordana), I have a freakish love of garnish. You know, the random lettuce cup in the corner of your spring roll plate that contains nothing but a slice of cucumber and a carrot shaved to look like a rose? Most people who claim membership to the clean plate club will devour these flourishes before their server has a chance to clear the…

My friend Ali was one of my only housemates senior year who didn’t violate the “do your own dishes” rule, and contribute to a perpetually full sink of dirty plates. But that’s not because she was a neat freak. Rather, she didn’t have any dishes to speak of.

When we fear we might have gained a couple pounds—whether or not it’s bikini season, some of us get a little bit less worried about what toppings we’re going to put on our pasta, and more concerned with how we’ll look in our bikini afterwards. The good news is, when it’s warm outside, we begin to crave the foods that are fresher, healthier, and better for our beach bods. If you don’t have time to round out that kind of healthy lifestyle with a trip to…
