FOOD SKETCH #18: Taiwanese Te-Bao

Taiwanese Te-Bao from BaoHaus.
I like Jeremy Lin.
I like Eddie Huang.
I like Eddie Huang's Lin-spired sandwich: a Taiwanese fried pork chop with curry seasoning, pickled daikon and carrot, aioli and cilantro stuffed into a steamed bun.

FOOD SKETCH #16: Two Eggs + Hash Brown

Two eggs, sunny side up with a side of hash browns from Pancake Haus in Edmonds, Washington. We were recently back home to visit my in-laws, and had breakfast at this neighborhood spot which has been around forever. I love this kind of place. It's the sort of restaurant that has old carpeting and fake plants, where seniors and families with kids congregate, where you can get a full breakfast with free refills of coffee for under six bucks, and where you can get the best hash browns ever. It's a simple brick of shredded potatoes, McDonald's style, perfectly crisp.

FOOD SKETCH #15: Peels Graham Cracker

Whole wheat graham cracker from Peels, NYC.

FOOD SKETCH #14: Papabubble Melon Mix

A mix of melon-flavored hard candies, handmade at Papabubble, one of my favorite candy shoppes in NYC. If you can, visit the store during their candy-making hours. It's amazing to watch how they create intricate shapes and designs in their tiny candies. It would be so fun to illustrate all of their candy designs.
