This book is dedicated to anyone who has looked at a photo of a DEVOUR-worthy dish and thought, Damn, thats aggressive. Eatingthe act of it, the joy taken from it, the feeling of anticipating something delicious youre going to chow down on, the feeling of blissful, sleepy satiety after youve finished that last scrumptious morselis one of the most universally loved, talked about and cherished activities we, as humans, engage in. Eatingthe act of it, the joy taken from it, the feeling of anticipating something delicious youre going to chow down on, the feeling of blissful, sleepy satiety after youve finished that last scrumptious morselis one of the most universally loved, talked about and cherished activities we, as humans, engage in.

Its a celebration of being alive, of the wonder of flavorsthe way they combine, the way those magic proprioceptors in our lips, nose and tongue send messages of complexity, pleasure and tingly jabs of spicy pain to our brain, evoking memories past, miles traveled and the passion of creating and consuming the magic in the edible world around us. Simply put, eating delicious food is just freaking awesome. AND YOU KNOW IT. Clearly searching for and consuming mouthwatering culinary creations is something Im rather familiar withheck, I built my career around it! And Greg and Rebecca, without question or pause, exemplify that same gustatory adventurousness, and tear into life (and psychotic cotton candy burritos) with the zeal we wish we all could, and share their journeys, their jaw-dropping, drool-inducing, seemingly endless stream of death-row dinners and cheat-day meals, with the rest of us, so that we might explore fork-first for ourselves and follow in their fabulous, foodie footsteps. Though I knew Team Remmey from their adventures as @DEVOURPOWER on social media, we first met at a food event we were cohosting at the New York City Wine & Food Festival. As the old expression goes, Trust not a chef who does not lick their own fingers.

Well, neither should you trust a food curator who does not glow when sharing their culinary finds, nor dive in with toothsome glee to the succulent Chopped Cheese sandwich they brought to the affair in the first place. They have done what many wish they could do: jumped off the wheel, left the rat race, left their jobs and proceeded tosimply puteat the tastiest, yummiest, dankest shit on planet Earth. And (not unlike yours truly) found a way to magically make a living out of it! In this tome, the @DEVOURPOWER team is giving you the keys to the NYC comfort food culinary kingdom. Giving you the benefit of their insights collected over hundreds of hours of research, travel, copious note-taking and careful observation. And whats more, theyre wresting the keys from the restaurants that held them and putting you in the drivers seat, giving you the one-two punch of being both food porn creator AND consumer. The knowledge goes into your head, the food goes onto your plate, the pics go on your timeline, the food goes into your mouth and you go into a state of bliss, gratitude and joy that you are alive, you are hungry and you have the tools, the talent, the guidebook and yes, the Power to Devour.

Enjoy the journey. Eat passionately. Chew carefully.

Have you ever had a burger that was just absolutely loaded? How about one with macaroni and cheese on top? Or a pile of juicy roasted shrimp? Combine that all together and you get the Shrimp Big Mac n Cheese Burger from Flip N Toss in the West Village ( from Dyckman Dogs. Hungry yet? Welcome to Devour NYC! We are Greg Remmey and Rebecca West-Remmey of @DEVOURPOWER. Were a NYC-based couple who loves to eat aggressively and experience new cultures, cuisines and destinations. We started our journey back in 2012, soon after we began dating.

Fast-forward to today and we are beyond thrilled to be able to share all of our over-the-top food experiences for a living. Weve spent the past seven and a half years of our lives striving to find the most outrageous, DEVOUR-worthy dishes in New York City. Theres no limit to the creativity of the chefs here in NYC, and weve put them to the ultimate test: creating at-home versions of their craziest recipes, all of which are over-the-top showstoppers. From insane burgers that are sandwiched between macaroni-and-cheese buns to wings that are so spicy theyll knock your socks off, weve tried it alland were delivering it straight into your home kitchen. This isnt your average cookbook; these recipes will challenge your taste buds and impress your guests. In our never-ending search for our favorite dishes, we discovered that many classics were being uniquely flipped and re-created as over-the-top, one-of-a-kind inventions, and we needed to share them with the world.

Thats when @DEVOURPOWER truly set off on our mouthwatering quest. Not everyone who follows us and loves the crazy dishes that we DEVOUR can get to the restaurants we feature, however, because of where they live. We like to think this cookbook will bridge the gap and deliver our favorite foods right into your home. To get to this point, we visited the kitchens of our favorite hot spots throughout the boroughs of New York City and asked the chefs to share the recipes for their best, most iconic dishes. Weve gathered them together in this book to bring you more than 50 recipes for incredible, delicious food. We then broke those recipes down step by step to better help you re-create these dishes at home.

Get ready to transform boring pancakes into loaded breakfast burritos and roll up mango-habanero wings in crispy bacon. In the pages that follow, there will be ladles and ladles of melty cheese and an unfathomable number of calories, but we promise that it all will be worth it! We began this cookbook journey because we wanted to share the incredible food that we get to experience every day with all of our amazing, dedicated followers, regardless of their zip codes. We reached out to some of the most talented, passionate chefs in the Big Apple, and the delicious results are now in your hands.
