Char No. 4 in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn for Bacon, Bourbon, Barbecue
When you walk into Char No. 4, there are two things you notice, both of which start with B: bacon and bourbon. The smell of the smoky, thick-cut bacon is the kind that'll probably stick to your hair until at least tomorrow morning, in a campfire kind of way. And the bottles, which includes a special bourbon collection, are lined up neatly on a pretty backlit bar.Hot Dog of the Week: Bark
To some hardcore hot doggers the very concept of a $7 eco-friendly gourmet hot dog is offensive. But unlike other "high-end" hot dog purveyors, Bark in Brooklyn has done their homework, and kill it with the food. Absolutely stunning, perfectly prepared, lard-basted Hartmanns wieners are served on lightly toasted top split buns (which have a crunchy outside but a soft middle). They almost look too good to eat.Urban Farming: Mars, Antarctica Provide Inspiration for Brooklyn Rooftop Gardens
Jennifer Nelkin believes that the future of high-end, boutique-quality farming is not in California, sunny Florida, or even the fertile soils of the Hudson Valley. It's right under our noses. Or more accurately, right above our noses. As co-founder of Gotham Greens, New York's first commercial rooftop hydroponics operation, Jenn's got a lot riding on that future. "I really hope that rooftop gardening is a successful venture, because we've borrowed $1.4 million to try and find out."How to Make Fresh Pasta
Fresh pasta is made from a few simple ingredients, using a straightforward method. But getting it just right requires some coaching, a lot of practice, and a few good tips. This primer from expert pasta-making chef Anna Klinger of Al Di La in Brooklyn can help get you started or put you back on track, and inspire you to make this recipe for casunsiei (beet and ricotta ravioli).Hot Dog of the Week: Torta De Salchicha
Not technically a hot dog—more like a delicious cross between Mexican torta sandwich and hot dog. [Photographs and original artwork: Hawk Krall] Past Weeks' Dogs Tuscan Tony Zweigle's Cincinnati Cheese ConeyTexas TommyPhilly Dirty Water DogChicago Dog I might be pushing the definition of "hot dog" with this one, but this monster of a sandwich was just too good to ignore. On a recent trip to Brooklyn I stopped at the Puebla Mini Mart (aka "Don Pepe's") in Sunset Park for a bite before an all-day hot dog excursion. The colorful bodega with a full-service grill and tables in the back had a wild menu with more varieties of tortas than you ever thought possible. But I did a double-take when...Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 84: Do You Ever Scare Yourself Into Eating Less?
"Many thanks, serious eaters, for all the shout-outs of support and encouragement." I scared myself into not eating last week, and not just because of what I ate on the road in Chicago. Erin pointed out that my real downfall was the double meal I ate last Tuesday night. It started with oxtail, shepherd's pie, jerk chicken, leg of lamb, and goat at The Islands with Erin and Carey. Then it was (and this was the killer) two pork roasts and two fried chicken recipes from Donald Link's and David Chang's books that Cook the Book's Caroline Russock made at her house for a cookbook competition we are participating in. So when you think about it, my two-pound weight gain...Brooklyn Water Bagels in Delray Beach, Florida
"Was it true? Had Florida really brought the water down from Brooklyn to make the bagels?" When my mom and I moved down to South Florida from Manhattan, we brought everything with us but the kitchen sink—and food. That, we figured, they’d have down there. Once we arrived, we dumped all our boxes in the garage, sat down, famished, and contemplated dinner. It was about an hour before we realized we’d left the only decent bagels, pizza, and Chinese take-out on the East Coast back in New York. Clearly, we hadn’t thought this thing through. “It’s the water,” my father told me. “You can't get a New York bagel outside of New York because you can’t get New York water...Mixed Review: Fantastic World Foods All Natural Falafel Mix
Ask anyone from Rhode Island about the most delicious falafel they've ever eaten, and they will surely get a dreamy, faraway look in their eyes and recall the best stuffed pita they've ever had—the one at East Side Pockets on Thayer Street in Providence. When I was in high school I went late in the afternoons, in between classes and play rehearsals. My order never changed: a falafel pocket with all the trimmings—hot sauce, hummus, lettuce, tomato, hot peppers, onions, pickles, tabouleh, tahini, and cucumber yogurt sauce. I've lived in New York City for six years now, and I've sampled falafel far and wide. While there are certainly some terrific options (my favorite is Bedouin Tent on Atlantic Avenue...Serious Cheese: Grilled Cheese, Georgian Style
Photograph from Goulven Champenois on Flickr The combination of crusty dough and melted cheese has spawned some of the greatest foods in the world. Pizza and grilled cheese come first to mind for many Americans, but the United States can hardly claim ownership. Indeed, thousands of miles across the world, in a land wedged between the Black Sea to the west and the Caspian Sea to the east, the bread-and-cheese meme has perhaps reached its apex in the form of the Georgian food khachapuri—literally, "cheese bread."...Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
