Seriously Delicious Holiday Food Giveaway: Russ & Daughters
Today's Seriously Delicious Holiday Food Giveaway is a New York Nostalgia package from Russ & Daughters.
I've known Russ & Daughters' Mark Federman and his family ever since I came to New York 32 years ago. When I knew very few people here I used to just come to Russ & Daughters to kibitz and just feel like I belonged somewhere. It's a place I still visit for shelter from any storm. And for the company and the Russ family's incredible food. They know smoked fish like very few other people in this world.
The package includes: one pound of Gaspé Atlantic smoked salmon, a half-pound of sliced smoked sable, one pint house-cured herring fillets in cream sauce with pickled onions, one pound of natural cream cheese with chive, eight authentic New York bagels, one pound of old-fashioned rugelach, and a piece of old-fashioned marble halvah. All sent out Monday, December 15 for overnight delivery and will arrive at your door, as long as your door is in the continental U.S.
To win, just answer this in the comments below: What's your favorite New York brunch food? You have until 3 p.m. ET tomorrow (Friday, December 12) to answer. Winner will be chosen at random from among the commenters. The standard Serious Eats contest rules apply.
PS: If you just can't wait for this contest to be over and want to order now from Russ & Daughters, we have a special Serious Eats promo code you can use for a 10 percent discount. Just mention SERIOUSRUSS when ordering on the phone (no applicable to online orders). Visit russanddaughters.com for phone numbers.

i know im not writing anything new but bagels and lox has to be the best!
hoff_83 at 3:47PM on 12/11/08
A smoked salmon or caviar omlette with sour cream, maybe followed with a slice of chocolate babka - the perfect pick-me-up brunch when you've got a Sunday filled with chores and you're not looking forward to returning to the office on Monday.
BTW, one of my childhood food memories is my grandfather returning home on a weekend morning from Russ & Daughters with lox, etc. Though I hate to betray my age, it was back in the dark ages before the invention of the bagel machine, and therefore bagel production in NYC was not nearly as ubiquitous as it has become. Unless you were lucky enough to live near a bagel place that turned them out fresh, you had to either schlep or make do with hours old bagels that were delivered hours before to a bakery. Though I'm not sure if Russ & Daughters had an in-house bagel baker, they did get their bagels very, very fresh.

Just any brunch in New York would be nice...since I live in Ohio.

I heart French toast
runnereater at 3:49PM on 12/11/08
Smoked sable from Zabar's. My family first discovered it after we moved to the East Coast in 1969; we knew from smoked whitefish, we knew chopped herring, but had never even heard of smoked sable. It was like a happy mouth explosion! Nothing on earth is more tender and succulent and delicious.
Frankly, any brunch that features the smoked meat trinity (whitefish, sable, and sturgeon) is a lunch I want to be at. Add Nova Scotia lox and chopped herring, and it's NIRVANA.
klg19 at 3:50PM on 12/11/08
Oh jeez--did I really say "smoked meat trinity"?? That should be smoked FISH trinity!!
klg19 at 3:51PM on 12/11/08

Jeana at 3:52PM on 12/11/08
A large hazelnut iced coffee (hint of half and half) and a smoked salmon, chive and cream cheese crepe.
Then I'll usually get a black and white cookie (and maybe a dozen fresh bagels to bring home) before heading back to Westchester. ;)
decemberain27 at 3:54PM on 12/11/08
bagels with lox and cream cheese, obviously. with capers and thin slices of red onion (tomato and cucumber slices optional).
this is probably one of my meals of all time. period.
provey at 3:55PM on 12/11/08

once i had amazing hash browns at clinton street, but i think it was a fluke. went back and they no longer offered them? either way, it was a rare instance of hash browns in the city, and it was at one of my favorite spots.

The notion of a New York brunch is a little foreign to me, but heavens, if a bagel piled high with cream cheese and lox isn't the perfect way to brunch, anyway, I don't know what is.

CourtInSavannah at 4:21PM on 12/11/08
For me brunch is about a big breakfast - French Toast, Omlettes (feta & spinich is my favorite) Waffles - to me a bagel with lox and a schmear of cream cheese can be had on any day of the week (since they're always on hand in my jewish household)
lm3929 at 4:21PM on 12/11/08
I second H&H bagel - everything with veggie cream cheese and tomato. New York perfection.

Sigilum at 4:23PM on 12/11/08
I hate to be trite, but a bagel with lox, cream cheese, capers, tomato, and red onion has to be the best. I don't know how it tastes so much better in New York, but it does.

Okay, I live in Seattle, and when I get to NY, don't get me wrong, my Grandma lives on LI and I eat my fair share of old school Jew foods, but what I really want to get to aside from a big pile of chopped liver is dim sum in Flushing. I know. Its a contest for fish and stuff. I like those. But I love dim sum.
dagoose at 5:15PM on 12/11/08
Anything egg-y: omelette, scramble, fried, poached, you name it!
If it is with lox or smoked salmon, then scramble will be my favorite!

a great fresh baguette with jam and butter and a pot of yogurt (real yogurt though please). or a pain au chocolat. deliciousness.
korovka at 5:34PM on 12/11/08
Sesame bagel, sliced, toasted, heavy schmear (full-fat cream cheese, please... none of that *light* crap for me), generously scattered capers, shaved red onion, good quality lox.
Assembled in that order.
I hate it when my capers keep rolling off.
LoCo at 5:37PM on 12/11/08
A lot of people have been coming into town lately for a visit and we've been doing a lot of bagels and lox. My mother asked if I was sick of it. Answer: Hell NO!

Prune's eggs benedict.
plantainsandkimchi at 5:49PM on 12/11/08
Always a toasted bagel (preferably an "everything"), a thick schmear of regular cream cheese, a thick Jersey tomato slice on each half, topped with a big ole ring of sweet onion on each half. Then top those beauties off with the following: 1 half lox, the other half whitefish salad. 2 beautiful sandwiches. Yum.
apayne at 5:49PM on 12/11/08
Poppy seed bagel with cream cheese, sable, and red onion!

my mom's blintze souffle. Perfect for brunch...and then again as midnight leftovers!
LAGinNYC at 5:57PM on 12/11/08
Nova and bagels is mighty nice. Real lox-- belly lox-- is a pretty intense experience, and not one that I'll bet most posters here would enjoy. I like mine with farmer's cheese, and a slice of red onion, and some capers.
outsidecounsel at 5:59PM on 12/11/08
but, I don't live in New York!

2 eggs over medium, sausage, extra crispy hash browns and rye toast. Apple juice and coffee.
chrismc at 6:09PM on 12/11/08
At the risk of sounding like an echo, the same platter of bagel, lox, cream cheese, capers and red onions.
Of course, if I were down south, I'd have biscuits and ham, with gravy, but you did ask for NYC.
Pupster at 6:10PM on 12/11/08
Bagel and lox. of course.

easy: shrimp dumplings, steamed rice noodles, zongzi, followed by a pastry from any chinatown bakery - just not any of the ones on canal street by the clueless white people (no offense).
