North Italian South of Houston at San Carlo Osteria Piemonte

By: Finance Foodie

Last Sunday, inspired by the unexpected sliver of warm(er) weather, the Mister and I decided take a stroll around the SoHo neighborhood of Manhattan. A planned hour walk turned into three so we happened to be in the area during dinnertime. We stumbled up upon San Carlo Osteria Piemonte, a cozy and newish resto specializing in Northern Italian cuisine, specifically from the Piedmont region (hence the name, obviously) and decided to dine there. I had worked up an appetite walking around all day, so I was excited for some rich and delicious Italian feasting.

A Tasty Test: Lucky Spoon Gluten Free Muffins

By: Irene Yang

In short, Lucky Spoon Gluten Free Muffins are fantastic. They're a new player in the gluten-free baked goods market, and I can say that they're one of the best tasking gluten-free offerings I’ve ever had. Most gluten free goodies I've had are dry and crumbly, but Lucky Spoon has captured the perfect moist texture I've come to expect from normal baked goods. Beyond being gluten free, they're also preservative and trans-fat free, so you know you're getting something good.

I recently held a taste test with some other Tech Foodies (not many Finance Foodies in my neck of the woods - we are in Silicon Valley after all!). Below are our thoughts.
