Newburgh, NY: Old School Chili Dogs From Pete's
With my in-laws safely dropped off at the outlets in Woodbury on Black Friday, Hambone and I had the whole afternoon stretched ahead of us like an open road. Obviously the only course of action that made sense was to punch "Hot Dogs" into the on-board, high-tech, annoyingly cheerful-but-a-great-listener navigation computer in the Serious Eats Edge on loan from Ford and see where Cassandra (as I call her) wanted to take me.We headed to Pete's Hot Dogs in Newburgh, about as old school a hot doggery as you can find in this country.Poughkeepsie, NY: Soul Dog's Got Great Toppings, Needs Better Dogs
With the in-laws in town and wanting to go shopping at the outlets last Friday, I had the perfect excuse to haul up to the Hudson Valley in the Serious Eats Edge (on loan from Ford) and check out some of the local hot dog scene. First stop, Soul Dog in Poughkeepsie.A Sandwich a Day: Ham and Red Meck at Glenora Wine Cellars in Dundee, NY
Imagine my surprise when I ordered this sandwich only to see that it was upstaged by its side of glorious, transparent spiraled potato chips! Or so I thought. When I lifted the sandwich, its heft made me realize why the pretzel roll was only a few inches in diameter. The ham and red meck sandwich from Glenora Wine Cellars prides itself in presenting good (really good!) things in small (really small!) packages.Hot Dog of the Week: Rolf's Pork Store in Albany, NY
I first heard of Rolf's—an amazing German deli, butcher, and sausage shop in Albany, New York—while reading up on the history of mini hot dogs in nearby Troy, and made sure to stop by the next time I was in the hood. Just last week dmcavanagh also mentioned that Rolf's makes a fine Ring Bologna which got me thinking—it was about time to start drawing weisswurst and cartoon pigs.Super Bowl: Who Wins for Best Food City?
Oh yes, it's that time of year again. Many of us are completely absorbed by the NFL playoffs. It's easy to find sports sites and portals to discuss the football aspects of the match-ups—but when you pit these cities against each other, which have the superior food scenes? We're serious eaters, so we need a forum to discuss the merits of each city as a food lover's destination. Here we go.New York City Council Proposes Plans for a New Food System
In late November, council speaker Christine Quinn announced FoodWorks, a 90-page plan for reforming and supporting NYC's food system. Cities nationwide could draw inspiration from this model.Hot Dog of the Week: Famous Lunch in Troy, New York
Famous Lunch is an awesome old-school counter joint right off of main street in the small city of Troy, New York, about six miles up the Hudson River from Albany. The dogs here are tiny: slightly larger than a cocktail weenie, about three-inches long and 65 cents each.The Best Beef on Weck Sandwich in Buffalo, New York?
The second most popular food in Buffalo, after the wings of course, is the beef on weck. It's comprised of three parts: the bread, the meat, and the horseradish. If any one of those components is off, the entire sandwich suffers. The kimmelweck roll, or 'weck for short, should be flecked with enough caraway seeds and salt crystals that you hardly need to season the beef since so much flavor power comes from the bread. The beef should be juicy and pinkish in the middle, with browned edges. Extra points if a guy in a white butcher's coat is carving it. And the horseradish—fresh, grated into mini shreds, and potent. We drove around the Buffalo area this week and made four beef on weck stops, looking for the best. And we found it.From the Road: Paula's Doughnuts in Buffalo, NY
If you were stopped on the corner of Englewood and Kenmore in Buffalo, New York, you might think to yourself, "I hope that cute place on the corner makes good doughnuts." As it happened, we had on the authority of a few SE'rs that Paula's Doughnuts did—and we're happy to report they were right. This no-frills, open-at-4:00am shop, where you can breakfast at a knee-high counter stool, ferries their two dozen different kinds of fresh doughnuts out of the kitchen all day long, so even if yours aren't warm, they'll still taste and feel noticeably fresh.Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
