Ribbon-Cutting Entry

Hello everyone.

This is the official opening of our newborn baby blog. I have to admit to a certain level of a-flutter-ness.

The concept behind East End Eats was born from reading far too many food blogs and noticing how many of them talked about local resources and eateries. A lot of these blogs are written by awesome people who live in tiny towns and remote locations (of course remote by NYC standards is pretty much anything that isn't NYC). And yet, Long Island, which is a stone's throw away from The City, and probably has a lot more markets and restaurants than many small towns, seems to be severely lacking in people willing to cook, eat and write.

Thus this baby was dreamed up.

Our goal is explore Long Island and the surrounding areas. The markets, the restaurants, the out of the way nooks and crannies that no one hears about but should. We like food and we want to talk about it. Some of us are more experienced cooks and some of us burn water so there will be a diversity of perspectives and tastes. We want to make sure even the shyest eater tries something new and even the most novice cook is able to make any recipe we put up.

So... with baited breath, I am going to post this and hope our baby blog grows up big and strong.
