So this is following up on the subject, of, well . . . nothing in particular, but I had to share a new guilty pleasure food that I discovered tonight at a fab restaurant in my neighborhood that I’ve walked by a million times in the past few months (it’s a little non-descript looking). It’s called Zemi, and it’s right here in my Chelsea hood. Here’s a little write-up by Time Out NY: http://www.timeout.com/newyork/restaurants/chelsea/21071/zemi

I finally went tonight with a group of friends and discovered a food that I’m afraid will be my diet nemesis for 2009: crab rangoon. Now, I’ve had crab rangoon before, but these little temptations are in a class of their own: like tiny molten crab dip dumplings, with a salty and tangy soy dipping sauce. Completely delightful. I feel the same way about them as the first time I ever tried Artichoke Basille’s crab pizza slice: more than a little obsessed. Speaking of Artichoke Basille’s, if you’re in NYC, run, don’t walk to get a slice. The line is totally worth the payoff.
