AHT Giveaway: Fatty Melt Dinner for Two at Rub BBQ in NYC
The ill fated peanut butter Shake Shack style burger that a rougue manger served one day at the upper west side location.

Beautiful pictures! Definitely the best bakery to open in Manhattan in years.

Sugar Rush: Raspberry Bomboloni at Levain Bakery
Wow, are these new?
The Brunch Dish: PB&J Pain Perdu at Recette
Great post. Amazing how you think anything worth doing for breakfast has already been done and then someone comes up with something new. Looking forward to trying this.
How to Make Peepshi = Peeps Sushi
This is great. Somehow Dots have to be worked into these.
'Fork in the Road,' Watching Your Matzo Prices
As of 3-27-10 Whole Foods has all their matzos, about 5 brands, on sale at 97th store - prices beat Zabar's Gristedes and shockingly even Fairway! Picked up some whole wheat for $3.50 which is about 25-30% off.
Cakespy's Guide to the 13 Best Sweets in Paris
Cakespy, this is a fantastic roundup thanks!
Sugar Rush: Ceci-Cela's Pear Tart
Wow, that thing looks A+. Gotta like the extra focus on the crust.
First Look: DT Works, The Dessert Truck Store
I can't wait to visit DT Works. Their truck offered the best value for high-end desserts in NYC thanks for the opening info!
The Best Chocolate Chip Cookie In New York City
Kudos to Carey the SE NY crew for this massive and comprehensive review. You definitely dug out some unknowns that are really great. Who knew Bouchon would do so well? I have always loved that cookie but many of my friends always said it was too heavy and had no crisp... That Roasting Plant cookie was also a find - never knew they were so good. I think this is a great top 11 - I would only have added Jacques Torres "chocolate discs with some added cookie dough" cookie to the list :)
Dos Toros Taqueria: Mission-Style Burritos, As Good as California's?
I went with 3 friends on Tuesday night. I had the chicken burrito 2 of my friends had the carnitas and one had the steak. The one's who had the chicken and pork all felt they were the best burritos we had had in NYC in a long while. The steak burrito person said it was just fine - but noted that all the other ingrediants were very good. I felt like everything tasted super-fresh - guac was mild but very good. Pico de gallo was A+ and Chicken that night was perfect. I'll be back.
Serious Eats Holiday Giveaway: Two Little Red Hens Cake
Dovetail Brunch this weekend and Telepan for New Year's Eve.
What's Your Favorite Cheesecake In New York?
I know it's a little bougie but Artisanal has a great cheesecake that has a slight lemon twang to it - also not too sweet. I grew up 2 blocks from original Daiuto's on 8th ave and I loved those cheesecakes as a kid.
What's Your Favorite Hot Chocolate In New York?
LA Burdecks is definitely in the class of these - it's just not sludge like like City Bakery or J Torres. They use 68-70% dark chocolate too. Solid.
Chocolate Chip Cookie Championship: The Brooklyn Edition
Great description of Baked cookie (Levain split) Almondine definitely my favorite out of the ones you list that I have tried(never tried Larder). Baked or JT would be my top 3 in that order.
The Dessert Files: Holiday Flavors at Doughnut Plant
Way to take one for the team by eating all 5! Too bad about the Pomegranate it sounded/looked intriguing.
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Russ & Daughters Brunch Package
Zabars nova on toasted Amy's 5 grain bread with a tart-but-mild goat cheese.
Chocolate Chip Cookie Championship: The Downtown Edition
Agree about Dessertclub cookies and you didn't even mention they go 3 for $2.00 or at least they did when I reviewed them. I missed the roasting plant cookies - thanks. The only contender I would add to your downtown review (I know you can't try them all) was Clinton St Bakery - one of the best for those who like crispy cookies + they have some salty/sweet thing going on too. Anyway, for a second opinion see my unranked listing of NYC's best chocolate chips cookies:

Housemade Sodas at Pichet Ong's Spot
Ok you convinced me. Next trip I'll get one of these sodas. I just had to get the ovaltine for round one.
The Dessert Files: A First Look at Pichet Ong's 'Spot'
This is great I am going tomorrow night and needed to know what to order! Anything heavily chocolate?
The Making of Michael White's Fusilli at Marea
Frank Bruni agrees with Serious East (and DessertBuzz: http://newyork.seriouseats.com/2009/08/smorgasboard-20090817.html)
WHAT DISHES FROM RECENT VISITS WOULD I BE SMART TO SEEK OUT?
The fusilli with tomato, octopus and bone marrow at Marea is a revelation: original and so very, very right. At a different restaurant a few years back, a dining companion noted that marrow had a “druggy” taste and effect all its own, and I thought that adjective was perfect. This fusilli dish is indeed druggy — and an example of what makes Michael White such an inventive, intuitive master of pasta.
After All These Years: V&T Pizzeria
I usually don't comment on Pizza articles since: 1) I am no expert and 2) it's not a dessert, but as a native New Yorker and someone who lived for 2 years at 115 and Morningside I can tell you I was always bummed when my roommates wanted to hit V & T - I just didn't think it was that good for the reasons you outline. Mostly the soggy crust The atmosphere was cool as hell though - dark and even a bit gloomy- perfect for chilling with friends and talking
Pizza is de
'Top Chef,' Season 6: The Premiere
Puck stole the show for sure. He overshadowed all the contestants and like Remander, I was never really a fan but now I certainly am. I'd pay good money to see Eric Ripert throw a donut across the set.
