Cakespy: Mimosa Brownies
Never thought to mix these two favorites together but they look great!
Spice Hunting: Black Cardamom
Timely article! I was at Kalustyan's today to buy green cardamom and noticed the (cheaper) black cardamom. Loving all of the suggestions here on how to use it.

Celebrate Macaron Day with Free Macarons Around New York City
Got up early on Sat AM to Silver Moon (stingy!) to Georgia's Cafe (nice and welcoming) to Bouchon (tiny) to Mad Mac (late opening) up to Butterfield Market (yay Payard!) then La Maison du Chocolat (One of the best!) and finally MacarOn Cafe (2 free macs each!). Very fun and photo-filled Macaron Day. Now I'm going to see my dentist! =)
Standing Room Only: Superdawg
Loved the Superdawg and milkshake from the original drive-in when we were in Chicago last summer! The Superdawgs we got at Midway did not taste as good - and when we went, they weren't able to serve anything else from their abbreviated menu. Wishing for an original Superdawg now...
Lenten Friday Eats!
I go to a local Indian store and stock up on lentils, quinoa, curries, couscous, beans, bulgur, and spices to make dishes like: Bulgur salad with cucumbers and grape tomatoes; vegetable curry, potato gratin, spicy lentil dal, etc.
Thanks for starting this forum! Lots of great ideas here!!
New Amsterdam Market, This Sunday at the South Street Seaport
Had a great time at the market - kimchee, white tea, lots of pate, delicious scoops of pumpkin cocoa nib and chocolate rosemary, beef brisket and more! The weather was great and we took tons of photos.
Book Giveaway: Mike Colameco's Food Lover's Guide to NYC
Tehuitzingo in Hell's Kitchen for tacos (on 10th Ave between 47th and 48th). Love the Tortas and Beef Tongue taco...
The Best Mooncakes for the Mid-Autumn Festival
We went to Tai Pan in Chinatown and bought the colorful ones: snowyskin, strawberry, taro, and sesame ones. Here are our photos:

Le Fooding Hits Le New York
We got in line at 6:40pm - and into the event by 7:30pm...(also noticed that the last call line got in before us?!) We would have loved to be able to get in at 6pm, but we didn't want to pay $60 vs $30 for each of us...given the long food lines, we were glad we had each other to divide and conquer.
We loved the ribs, corn, and steak. The Bo Ssam and ice cream (bourbon vanilla) were good, though not exciting. Glad we didn't spend the money on drinks - just drank the free Pellegrino (a little flat).
Still cleaning our shoes due to the mud, but we had a great time - and it was all for a good cause!
Tons of photos (including Master Blogger Ed Levine speaking with Wylie): http://highlowfooddrink.blogspot.com/2009/09/le-fooding-damour-celebrity-chefs.html
What to Eat at the Bon Appetit Pop-Up Cafe, Open This Week Only
We spent quite some time yesterday (enough that the BA photog knew us!) - but it was worth it! Loved the meatballs and peaches special by Jose Andres...and of course, meeting Chefs Andres and Boulud!
We finally edited our photos down to a few:

Cook the Book: 'Gourmet Today'
Upon moving to NYC, we were determined to not to use our oven as storage and got the Joy of Cooking as our first official published book (wasn't sure if the collection of photo-copied, spiral bound made in grade school cookbook counted!)
In Season: Bell Peppers
We love bell peppers - and bought some purple peppers at the Union Square Greenmarket but were disappointed that they turn green when cooked!
Sugar Rush: Balsamic Fig Custard at Shake Shack
Agreed that figs would have been a nice touch - We found that each bite was different (the fig taste was more prominent but the more we ate, the more we could taste the balsamic)

Serious Heat: The Quickie Banh Mi
Can't beat the $5 Banh mi from Baoguette in NYC! The bread's soft and tasty while the pate is generous and meaty. Check it out here: http://highlowfooddrink.blogspot.com/2009/04/baoguette-our-new-favourite-banh-mi.html
We've also had their $7 Sloppy Bao which is an interesting take on the original. http://highlowfooddrink.blogspot.com/2009/09/baoguette-cafe.html
Thanks for the recipe!
UWS Shake Shack Will Sell Corn Dogs on Labor Day Monday
I had one today and it was fantastic! Wish they had these on the permanent menu! My photos at: http://highlowfooddrink.blogspot.com/2009/09/corn-dog-shake-shacks-labor-day-special.html
New York City Wine and Food Festival: Ticket Giveaway, 'Pairing Like A Pro'
A few options covering a wide range of price points: a nice juicy Argentinean Malbec, California Petite Sirah, a Washington Cabernet blend or Washington Syrah...
Dinner Tonight: Jacques Pepin's Crusty Chicken with Mushrooms and White Wine
Couldn't agree with you more Nick! I learn more from Chef Pepin than from anyone on those "flashier" shows! Thanks for the recipe!
Sugar Bust: Where's Our Sweet Corn Custard?
Just bought a pint of the sweet corn custard on Friday night from the UWS Shake Shack. It just tasted like cantaloupe to me. Check out my photo at http://highlowfooddrink.blogspot.com/2009/08/sweet-corn-custard-at-shake-shack.html
West Branch, the Neighborhood Restaurant of a Serious Eater's Dreams
We really wanted to like this place since we love Ouest. The food ranged from good (cheese gougeres) to over-rated (fish and chips for $20!) The atmosphere was nice, but for the price, we would rather spend our money elsewhere.

Gus and Gabriel Gastropub: The Greek Coffee Shop (Diner) of Our Dreams?
It's a cozy spot that we're glad to have in the neighborhood! Staff is friendly, love the beer/scotch, but the small space can get fairly noisy. Here's a link to my food shots (chi-dog, mush-cheese burger, and grape float): http://highlowfooddrink.blogspot.com/2009/07/our-dinner-at-gus-gabriel-gastropub.html

In Season: Cherries
We just went cherry picking last weekend and made this super-easy pie: http://highlowfooddrink.blogspot.com/2009/07/chocolate-almond-cherry-pie.html
L.A.-Based Kogi BBQ Korean Taco Truck in Midtown on Monday
Just had the Kimchi Quesadillas and Chocolate Peanut Butter mousse combo that was served today. Hundreds of people were there! It was worth the 45 mins wait. Photos on my blog: http://highlowfooddrink.blogspot.com/2009/06/dt-kogi-midtown-foodie-craze.html
