GOTHAM FOODIE

Hello there, fellow foodies! My name is Erica, I was born and raised in Germany, and moved to New York City in July of 1987. I have worked most of my time here in the Big Apple as a bartender, but my true love is food. I cook just about every day, I search for good food everywhere, and pretty much always find it. I don’t consider myself a food critic, I don’t have the culinary background for that kind of expertise. I do however know good food, good chefs and good restaurants. I report back about my culinary adventures, and I choose to leave out my unsatisfactory visits. We have enough negativity in our daily lives, I don’t want to add to that.
All the recipes in my FROM MY KITCHEN and DOTW blogs are cooked and prepared by me. All pictures are taken by me. I don’t always eat everything you see in my pictures, but you bet your buns, I do try everything.
Last but not least, you should know that I am a huge Top Chef fan. I have never missed an episode of the Bravo TV show. I have at this point visited over 90 restaurants run by Top Chef contestants, and I’m continuously impressed by their skill, drive and passion. So, I will continue to seek them out, and I hope you join me in my journey!
