Alex “Motzie” Motz helped teach me a bit about what it means to be a part of a universal motorcycle brotherhood. As the month of March drew to a close, Motzie was riding his motorcycle near his home in Mississauga, Ontario (that’s near Toronto, Canada) and a driver took him down while he...

East Cambridge is my home, and is where the main events involving the Boston Marathon Bomber manhunt took place, aside from Watertown to our west. If you watched the news coverage on Friday, you’ve seen my neighborhood. Through the closed walls and windows, I can still hear the mosquito-like...

As this challenging week closes out, people still want to know how we’re managing here in the Hub. My guess is that we’re doing as well as we can be, given the circumstances. Obviously, it would help if the background drone of media helicopters quieted, the sirens were fewer, and local...
Take Stock

Springtime can bring surprises. New Englanders really appreciate the first few days of sixty-degree temperatures, particularly after a long, hard winter. You can imagine that it’s incredibly frustrating to be sick at home with a nasty cold or flu on the first, warm sunny days of...

Again, here’s more unrehearsed, unscripted footage that’s certainly not the standard Food Biker™ show format. It’s rough around the edges, but that’s what practice is for. Right? As opposed to the first episode or the show trailer, continuing to polish and edit...
Episode 1 – Bad Biscuits
posted by foodbiker
Last Wednesday, the first Food Biker trailer launched and I haven’t been booed off the face of the planet. (I’ll take that to be a good sign.) It’s time to screw my courage to the sticking place and launch the first Food Biker video. It’s likely not the handsomest effort, particularly given that it’s comprised of unrehearsed and unscripted test footage. (Heck, it’s not even the regular Food Biker show format, where I’ll be motorcycling around America and learning from other chefs.) In this case, I briefly discuss homemade southern-style biscuits, and a few key things you need to remember to make...
The Food Biker Trailer
posted by foodbiker
It’s time. You’ve waited long enough. Since I founded Food Biker back in 2009, the actual Food Biker TV show continues to remain my ultimate, long-term goal. However, one of the key steps to achieving this goal is to actually get the cameras rolling. Realistically, one can hardly expect that any initial footage will be worthy of being broadcast on a television network. One has to shoot, shoot, and shoot. The more practice, obviously the better the end result. But when is it good enough to show it to the public? I’ll be first to admit that what will soon follow is anything but pretty or perfect. However, it’s time to...
Downhill From Here

Winter in New England is not friendly to the two-wheeler in me, but it’s plenty friendly to the two-planker in me! I’ve always felt that downhill skiing is like motorcycling in the snow. Skiing downhill, you’re challenging yourself physically, while the scenery and the wind...

Bewildered and bedeviled by baking, broiling, biking, barbecuing, beverages, or braising? Have no fear! Food Biker is on the case. This week: What to make for a upcoming date night at home. Dear Food Biker, I’m having food angst! I’ve recently started dating a chef and...

The first day of winter, and the holiday season has arrived once again in the Land of the Bean and the Cod, where the Lodges speak only to Cabots, and the Cabots speak only to God. Granted the Cabots nor Lodges would enjoy the weather that blew in today, but I’m sure they’d talk...
