Seriously Delicious Holiday Food Giveaway: Russ & Daughters

20071129russanddaughters.jpgWe've got another New York Nostalgia package from Russ & Daughters to give away today.

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.

What's in this package of New York Nostalgia? One pound of GaspƩ 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 delivered to your door (as long as your door is in the continental U.S.) via next-day air.

To win, just answer this in the comments below: What's your favorite New York brunch food?

You have until noon ET tomorrow (Friday, December 14) 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 type in SEREATS1914RD in the "Any special instructions or comments" box when you checkout online with Russ & Daughters.

Confession to make: I have lived in Maryland the majority of my life and have NEVER had a NY Bagel. Never! What's a good Jewish girl like me to do? Suffer through drab bagels my whole life. I lOVE bagels and lox. And, bagels and whitefish salad. And, bagels and smoked sable. And, the halevah thrown in reminds me of my late Gma Irma. Yum. Pick me.

Having lived in Dallas for the last 11 years, I know bagels here only as big rolls. So, I'm starved for a good bagel. A good onion bagel, toasted, with a huge schmear of cream cheese. And some beef fry (what my mom called Hebrew National's kosher version of bacon). And baked salmon (what my dad called kippered salmon). What is a good Sunday New York brunch to me? Bagels, bialys, baked salmon, some really creamy herring, lots of cream cheese and some whitefish salad. Alas, whenever I'm in New York, I never have a brunch opportunity. Lunch is as close as it gets. That's why I'm so glad that 2nd Ave. is re-opening. If you aren't going for the "fleisheka" brunch (that would be the one with meat), give me a bowl of their matzoh ball soup (I hope the old waitress who says "I'll be the pourer, you'll be the richer" as the delivers the soup is still around), a corned beef sandwich and a square knish is just perfect. Bottom line, I don't get good deli food here in Texas. You'd be feeding a nice a Jewish boy a good Jewish appetizing meal by picking me. My mother would think you a "mensch."
