I've created Eataku as an online home for people passionately obsessed with food.

People like me.

I travel a lot. I eat a lot. I cook a lot.

As the Talent Scout for Marvel Comics, my job takes me around the world. While I do thrive on the thrill of constant travel, being on the road and away from home for extended periods of time does take its toll. So when not meeting artists or reviewing portfolios, I keep my batteries charged by exploring the culinary culture and cuisine of whatever city or country I find myself in.

Photos of food. Videos of vineyards. Reviews of restaurants. Recipes for refreshments. This site is now my way of sharing my international epicurean adventures with you.

Enjoy!

Hakata Tonton, NYC

We ended up back at Hakata Tonton down on Grove Street in the West Village with friends last night, and, as always, they fell in love with the place! Here’s why…

Kanpachi tartare…

Seared foie gras…

Tonton house special pork gyoza…

Grilled pork cheeks…

Spicy fried chicken…

Salmon carpacchio with salmon roe in ponzu…

Pork trotter dumplings in soup…

The best okonomiyaki in New York City…

An extra shot of the okonomiyaki for you just because I rave about it so much…

With a “motsu nabe”, or pork hot pot, to close it all out. Put it all over flame…

Let it boil down…

Stir it up and it’s ready to eat…

Then later, when all the fat and collagen has boiled off into a perfect porky broth… you add noodles!
