Poll: What's Your Favorite Kind of Pie?

A Tribute to Gino, 1945-2010?

I remember Teacher's and Marvin Gardens on the Upper West Side so vividly. There are probably restaurants in every neighborhood that fit Ron's description. Anyone else want to weigh in here?

Good news on both the Gina DePalma and Hannah Howard fronts. Gina is writing her next post as I am writing this and Hannah has also come back to the fold. Expect new posts from her in the coming weeks as well.

Prince's Hot Chicken Shack in Nashville, Tennessee

Prince's totally rocks. I didn't go near the hot wings. Those suckers are dangerous.

From Recipes

Cook the Book: Boeuf en Daube Provençal

That stew sounds serious. I do need to get a pressure cooker. Will my wife allow another large pot in the house? That is the question.

Needed: Quiet Dinner Spot for my 62-year-old visiting Dad!

A few suggestions: Craft, where the steak is great and the tables are very well spaced; Convivio, in Tudor City, amazing pasta and very good steak from Michael White and company, and Marea, where I just ate. It's mostly seafood, but they do have steak on the menu and it is truly a civilized experience. You can hear yourself think at all three restaurants. Hope this helps.

The Best Chocolate Chip Cookie In New York City

I'm focusing on the seriously delicious cookies we discovered. Carey did an amazingly comprehensive job gathering chocolate chip cookie specimens. The Roasting Plant was the real shocker, but they just kept winning taste tests. We tasted them three different times against Bouchon Bakery's one on one, and the Roasting Plant cookie (via Tomcat) more than held its own every time. But if a crisp, small chocolate chip cookie is what you're after head for the Blue Ribbon market. Conversely, if you want a dense, chewy cookie that could double as a paperweight, then Levain is the cookie for you.

Tuna Sandwich in the East Village

I used to like the tuna sandwich on challah at B&H Dairy, but I haven't had it in years.

L.A. Burdick: Manhattan Gets a Superior Chocolate Shop

Open Thread: Home for the Holidays — Your Sentimental Favorite Pizzeria

It was definitely Vinnie's. I ate many a slice there. Hundreds in fact.

Open Thread: Home for the Holidays — Your Sentimental Favorite Pizzeria

Cairo's in Inwood, Long Island. Pizza and steak on the grill were my family's standard Sunday dinner in warm weather. I have no idea how they came up with the seemingly odd combination, but I have to tell you it worked for this serious eater.

Buche de Noel

Bouchon Bakery is making two kinds of buches, a chocolate frosting with vanilla cake and poached cherries, and a caramel peanut butter buche. Yum. I think you had to pre-order them, but when I called they said they might have some in their case for walk-ups today and tomorrow.

Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 98: Pastrami Tasting +Cookie Swap=?

Yup, I'm trying to play squash 3x a week. I've been having some hamstring issues that have impacted my squash schedule, but I'm cautiously optimistic that I'll be able to play all three times next week.
