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!

Empellon Cocina, New York City

There has been so much already said about Alex Stupak’s Empellon Cocina. Where do I begin? I’m not sure there is much more I can add, really.

I liked Empellon Taqueria. A lot.

I LOVED Empellon Cocina!

Yes, it may be Mexican, but this is food that defies classification. Of any sorts.

So go and enjoy everything that’s put in front of you. Not a single dish will disappoint!

A selection of seven salsas. DO NOT MISS their smoked cashew salsa…

An outstanding guacamole with pistachios…

Steak tartare and quail egg sopes…

Watermelon, beet and smoked ricotta cheese salad…

Fluke ceviche with avocado and verbena…

Roasted scallops with Surryano ham and chilaquiles…

Lobster and melted Tetilla cheese with tortillas…

Spaetzle with green chorizo gravy and a poached duck egg…

Sweetbreads with sweet corn and beans…

Lamb barbacoa sausage with chickpeas and grilled cucumber…

Pork belly pibil with pickled onion and an achiote mustard…
