It’s been awhile. Two years to be exact but San Diego Comic-Con is officially in person again. Despite the high rate of COVID infections, Paul and I will be appearing again after the long hiatus. We’ll be older, not necessarily wiser and with a new graphic novel, 88 Hours, about our experience of losing Doctor... Continue Reading →
I’ve been pretty lucky as a food blogger. Since launching My Burning Kitchen in 2005 as a place online to document my journeys and thoughts, one of the best things was meeting Anthony Bourdain. It resonates even more now that he's gone. I won’t go on about how he changed the way we talked about... Continue Reading →
What can I say about this year’s Comic-Con? Aside from it being the 15th year in a row at Paul’s Cool Jerk table and us being in the best of health, it was business as usual. While we didn’t offer any new books this year, we did offer limited edition enamel pins each with customized... Continue Reading →
The biggest event of the San Diego summer is here again. I failed to do a round up last year, I felt it my duty to get back on the horse and compile a list of places to eat. While comic-con is the convention event of the year, consider this a list that can apply... Continue Reading →
You learn so much from watching television. (Actual conversation too!)
David Lynch’s Twin Peaks reboot on Showtime launches tonight and Paul is beside himself with a strict lockdown to avoid any spoilers.

Even tougher when tax season rolls around and I have to gather up all my receipts, input them into a spreadsheet and submit them, along other expenses to our tax guy. Good news for us this year: we finished early and only have to pay $2,000 instead of last... Continue Reading →
San Diego Comic-Con 2016 is finally over and quite honestly, we're not sad to see it go. If you were one of hundreds of people who stopped by the table to say 'hi' and buy a book or shirt, you likely got a story about Paul's current medical condition. He has a kidney stone but it's...

By now I would have posted my top choices of where to eat downtown during this year's comic-con. But you know what? I've been hella busy over at Zagat. More importantly, Paul and I pumped out a new comic book that we finished TWO WEEKS ago and we just received the order today. How's that... Continue Reading →
Last fall, I received an invitation to visit The Taste. If you're not familiar with the reality TV show, it's where contestants of all walks of life compete on a cooking-reality show for a monetary prize. And it's based on one fateful bite. Produced by culinary superstars Nigella Lawson and Anthony Bourdain, it's currently in its... Continue Reading →
