After a brief stint in corporate administration, and intentions of dropping the corporate world for arts management, I nixed it all to surround myself with food, drink, and vibrant personalities as a barista at the best artisan coffee shop in New York. I’m in graduate school for library studies, focusing on digital archiving. I also write for Serious Eats: New York on occasion and stuff myself silly. Now I’m aware a world with sugar is what my Italian bone structure and Sicilian skin will have to deal with for as long as my little heart keeps beating. Hello, I’m Allison, and I live for and with food. If you don’t believe me, ask any of my ex-boyfriends. They all got fat when I started dating them.




Hi Allison…
I wanted to thank you for your review… and follow-up comment on the “Pulled Pork Wafel” last Friday!
Just when you thought that you’ve seen it all in BBQ…Look for other tasty things coming from Smokin’ Joe!! Will keep you posted.
Regards, SmokinJoe
