Hot Chick Food Crawl?

Looks like Blake Lively from Gossip Girl is a big eater. We dudes salute the food rampage from a hottie like Blake.

From the NY Daily News

"Our sources tell us that the actress' culinary odyssey began in the key of seafood on Aug. 5 when she ate at power sushi restaurant Nobu in Tribeca and the more rustic Mary's Fish Camp in the West Village. Then, on Saturday, Aug. 7, she returned to the latter neighborhood to dine at Paris Commune, which is known for its brunch, and Blue Hill, which is revered for its fetishistic embrace of local, seasonal food.

On Aug. 10, Lively did a high-low, East-West thing that would work well as a "Gossip Girl" narrative device. She checked out the atmosphere-free Chirping Chicken, a favorite of upper West Siders who want good chicken and ribs without any pretense. That same day, she also headed crosstown to Madison Ave. art dealer hangout Sant Ambroeus, which is mostly about pretense - and good gelato.

Aug. 11, she visited only Rosa Mexicano on the upper West Side, but resumed her two-a-day eatery habit on the 12th, when she dined at the Moroccan influenced hipster hangout Café Gitane at the Jane Hotel, and the classic French Le Grainne Café on Ninth Ave. in Chelsea.

Perhaps her culinary excursions began to take a toll on the leggy Lively's waistline, because by midmonth, she began to pace herself. On Aug. 13, she ate at Laurent Tourondel's seafood-themed restaurant BLT Fish on W. 17th St. Aug. 15, she supped at Cookshop, another establishment that prides itself on its seasonal, local menu. And as best we can tell, her culinary quest ended on Aug. 18 at Café Joul, a French neighborhood bistro on First Ave. in midtown east."
