Three Letters of Clinton Hill Serves Arrested Development Tasting Menu

Way back when, in the year 2003, a little show came on television called Arrested Development. Underwatched and underappreciated, although critically-acclaimed, the show lasted an impressive three seasons before Fox pulled the plug, leaving legions of college students sitting slack-jawed and teary-eyed in their underwear, whispering “….why??” at a blank television set. (This was before internet TV, if you can remember such a primitive time in human existence.)

For years following, rumors swirled about an Arrested Development movie; rumors that would be confirmed and then denied and then confirmed again only to be dashed away months later when everyone forgot about it. Then, in 2012, Netflix, internet TV/movie savior and platform of the people, confirmed what many had only dreamed of: the resuscitation of the franchise with all-new episodes, featuring our favorite actors bringing the  beloved Bluth family back from the dead.

The Curse of The Great Googamooga

After a rough inaugural run in 2012, Googamooga returned to Prospect Park this year with what they claimed was a “new and improved recipe” for a fun-filled weekend of food and music, purportedly smoothing out last year’s issues of long lines, food shortages, and a generally pissed off group of VIP ticket holders. What happened this year was unfortunately more of a disaster, despite Superfly’s admirable attempts at improvement, because of circumstances out of their control: primarily, the weather.

What went down on Saturday: Crummy weather resulted in diminished attendance which resulted in diminished sales for vendors. And if you did show up (and weren’t VIP), you were probably peeved at the lack of seating/eating areas with cover from the drizzling rain (there were none, if you don’t count the woods). Nothing kills the euphoria of a hot crispy chicken wing like eating it in cold rain, so even people who did brave the elements weren’t exactly having the best time of their lives, and vendors hurt from lost sales.

“Brooklynography: Matt & Allison Robicelli” Plays at the New York Food Film Fest

This past Saturday Brooklynography history was made: one of our videos was screened in front of a sold-out theater as part of the New York Food Film Festival! I was immensely proud and honored to be part of the event and to see something I created play on the big screen, and owe a mountain of thanks to all the people who made it possible like…. Matt & Allison Robicelli (of course!), NYFFF festival director George Motz, NYFFF executive producer Seth Unger, my friends and crew – shooter Zack Akers & sound recordist  Kenny Lewis – and my colleagues/friends/post-production angels at Crew Cuts – title designer Ian Glaum and mixer Nick Montgomery.

After my film screened I went up to say a few words and got a little nervous and forgot to say most of the stuff I wanted to say, so there it all is. Of course no one who attended the festival will be reading this anyway, because I completely failed to mention that Brooklynography is a website. D’oh.

Sandwiches… Sandwiches are a lot like cupcakes. They’re something you can hold in your hand, and take everything that you want on the subway.
