Best Challah in the city?

I know it's too late for Rosh Hashanah, but perhaps for Yom Kippur -- check out Bruce's on 57th St. and 1st Ave. Best challah I've had in the city without a doubt.

Ideas for Using Pickled Daikon (Radish)?

That's a great idea, thanks. I actually picked up some soba on the same visit to the Japanese market when I got the daikon).

Doughnut Plant's Creme Brulee Doughnuts

I have not seen the Throwdown episode, although I have heard that it wasn't the owner's (Mark Israel) best moment. I will say that I had the opportunity recently to meet Mark at Doughnut Plant and try some doughnuts and I left with a great impression of Mark. This man is truly passionate about his doughnuts! Plus, his story of how he started out is pretty neat - check out the history section on doughnutplan.com

Of course, my impression of him is helped by the fact that he's making what I consider to be the best doughnuts around.

thinking of starting a "supper club", advice needed.

Check out this great article that appeared in the NY Times this past August. I recently went to the Undergrounds Unite dinner here in NYC. It was 5 different supper clubs that came together to put on a big dinner. It was a fantastic event and showed how much interest there is in the supper clubs. As someone who goes to the supper clubs (as opposed to hosts), I can say that I am happy to bring wine/drinks and also contribute $$ (I don't expect that the chef foots the bill).

I would, however, be wary of potential health code/regulatory issues.

Rohoboth Beach, Delaware

Nicola's Pizza. Make sure to get a nic-a-boli. You'll likely have wait, but I assure you it's well worth it. Great family history there and the food is amazing.

Hummus in the freezer?

I freeze hummus. It's not 100% right on (in terms of taste and consistency) after defrosting, but pretty close. I've made it ahead of time for a party, freezed it and defrosted for the party. Seemed to go over quite well!

Best Challah in the city?

thanks for shilling here on our board, but I think I'll opt for no delivery charge by visiting an actual store in my lovely city that is brimming with challah.

Best Challah in the city?

You can also order delicious challahs online at http://challahnmore.com.
They will deliver anywhere in the united states. It is baked and shipped from Monsey so you'll get it in NYC the next day.

thanks! My aunt ended up bringing a challah from Brooklyn, but it wasn't anything special. I'll try Bruce's for Yom Kippur.

Dinner Tonight: Alice Waters's Carrot Soup

Rosemary would be a great addition, though, I think adding a SMALL amount of curry powder and a PINCH of cinnamon (I'm talking very little here folks), it would add such great flavor.

Dinner Tonight: Alice Waters's Carrot Soup

I'm eating a bowl of this now - made with veg broth instead of chicken. Yum!

Easy and delicious. I often end up with leftover carrots, and this is a great use for a big batch of them considering all the ingredients are already in the house.

@Yamee: I realize my mistake. I agree that rosemary would be tasty!

Dinner Tonight: Alice Waters's Carrot Soup

I think @Emmi24g is asking how it would be with rosemary. And I, for one, think it would be lovely with rosemary.

Dinner Tonight: Alice Waters's Carrot Soup

I also prefer non-blended soups and I have been having a soup filled summer. I make one or two a week for lunches. I was running out of ideas and I think this one is perfect. Thanks

Dinner Tonight: Alice Waters's Carrot Soup

I'm with Nick on this one...I prefer non-blended soups. And Emmi24g, I'm not sure why you're doubting that it will be good, considering the above description: sweet, soothing, with good textures: sounds delicious to me.

Not to knock composite lamb on spit, which has it's time and place in the pantheon of delicious street foods, but in Greece, that rotating log of lamb is made from real slices of shaved, juicy, tasty meat. No ground stuff there. Best gyro in my life.
