Best sushi in nyc?

I fully second Sushi Yasuda. Sit at the sushi bar....unbelievable sushi and incredibly attentive (yet very discreet) service.

I eat sushi with my hands, and after I ate the first piece, before I could reach down to my lap to wipe off my fingers, a small folded, dampened cloth appeared next to my plate. They had folded a small napkin so the center stuck straight up and placed it on a small tray, allowing me to easily and thouroughly clean my fingertips after each piece.

Outstanding.

Proper burger cooking technique: Do you flatten the patty while it's cooking?

wanna know the trick for rediculous burgers? I have been known to on occasion take lean or extra lean beef, make patties, mold them around a small chunk of salted, herbed butter, and delicately flatten the patties.

These work great on the grill, as the excess butter moistens and cooks the meat from the inside. Much of the butter drips out into the grill, leaving a hollow space filled with herbs in the middle of the drippingly juicy buger.

(These dont work so well on the griddle....and by don't work so well I mean they become deep-fried burgers; which are in a whole different ballpark.)

More import to me, however, is the bread.

How do you take your burger bread?

Question of the Day: Boneless Buffalo Wings—Do They Fly?

well you definately miss out entirely on the best parts of the fried chicken wing when you go boneless. The crispy skin and the fresh-chicken-stock-drenced meat (from the roasted bones) make for a far superior (if messier) product. In addition, experienced wing "suckers" can get all the meat off in one bite. (Insert wing in mouth, bite far end, drag teeth while pulling wing. chew. repeat)

Honestly, I see a day where buffalo tenders are replaced by 30 second microwaveable, blue cheese and buffalo sauce filled chicken sticks.

Until then, I'll keep my bone-in variety.

Serious Eats Basics: Braising

excellent video. I'd add that the garlic oil he used (chopped garlic marinated in olive oil) is greatly improved by leaving the skins of the individual cloves on. In young garlic (that doesnt have the green sprout), it really adds a whole lot of garlic-y depth.

It was also nice to see Daniel in some long one-take shots. You dont get a lot of those (unrehearsed) on After Hours, and it was refreshing. Thank you for bringing this video to us, Meg!
