Video: Ask Paulie, The Fourth

It was much easier for me to get to Paulie's backyard Jersey pizza tastings than it is for me to get to Brooklyn, but I knew Adam's prediction would come true.

Paulie Gee's is our favorite pizza!

Would You Hire This Man?

Even the best get rejected.
I am glad Paulie didn't get the job, or he would've never opened his place in Greenpoint.
Love the Delboy pie (it's not burned) and love Paulie.

YOU'RE HIRED!

Sugar Rush: Olive Oil Cake at Maialino

This is truly the best olive oil cake in the city....it's drenched in good Ligurian olive oil and Grand Marnier. I get it every time and try and recreate it at home. They wrote down the recipe for me on paper, but not the exact amounts.......

TGI Fry-Day: Duck Fat Fries at The Harrison

I love The Harrison, everyone is so nice and the food is always spot on.
These fries are so good, and their truffle orzo is even better!

Star Tavern: A Shining Example of the Bar Pie in Orange, New Jersey

Too thin for me.
You either love it don't. They serve on paper plates, so the grease goes thru and you need a police escort to get to your car.
Too many better choices in the Garden State, but I know people that drive 40 minutes to eat it.
The old timers from "The Valley".

In The Midnight Hour: 'inoteca

This is our snack spot when visiting the LES. I have always had nice wines, great brussels sprouts salad and small plates here. Great spot. Glad they are still around.

What's Your Favorite Frozen Food?

PS...and I do agree with other commenters.
Oreida Crispers are SO good. Haven't had them since I was a kid!

What's Your Favorite Frozen Food?

Trader Joe's mandarin chicken, it tastes like that fried orange chicken from the local Chinese takeout, and also Trader's vegetable tempura pancakes w/ dipping sauce, they are the only frozen items I buy!

How is Paulie Gee's doing...Any Experiences?

Ok, this became a comment session for dhorst and dmcavanaugh, instead of answering the original question/subject.

If the pizzas at Paulie Gee's in Greenpoint are as good as his backyard oven produced, then this a great pie.

I am looking forward to making it to Brooklyn in the next few weeks, I am only disappointed that we were not invited to the grand opening.
They will work out the kinks I am sure, and the space looks fabulous!
Can't wait to try the pizza.

What is the Greatest Compliment You Have Received on Your Food

Going back for 3rd helpings.
Some people may think the eater is a glutton, I just take it as a compliment!

Not at This Address: 'Highly Objectionable to Grandmothers'

My blog is called Stacey's Snacks, and I constantly get emails from people complaining about the amount of broken pita chips in the bags from Stacy's Pita Chips.
I guess her website name is close to mine, so I understand your pain w/ people thinking that Serious Eats is the Food Network.

I like to write back to the people and tell them that our quality control department is looking into it (the broken pita chips!).

8 Pizzas That Haunt My Dreams

I have had Paulie's fantastic pies and they definitely rank up there as the best!
I have tried twice to get into Motorino for that brussels sprout pancetta pie, and there has been a line to get in (everyone cramped inside) waiting.

Adam, you MUST go to Reservoir Tavern in Boonton, NJ.
Even Paulie likes it!
Happy New Year,
Stacey

Meet & Eat: Amanda Freitag, Chef

We have eaten at The Harrison numerous times.
The food is outstanding, as is the bar and service.
Not pretentious like so many hot restaurants can be.
We keep going back, it's that good.
When visiting Tribeca, check it out.

Gift Guide: The Ten Best Cookbooks of 2009

I thought Canal House was just a studio and kitchen, not open to the public, there was an article in the local paper about the 2 chefs.

I ordered the both books, volume 1 & 2 because of this post about BEST cookbooks of 2009.
I liked the holiday one very much, but I was not impressed with the summer issue.......you can't order them on amazon, you have to go directly to their site.
I like Pioneer Woman's site, she's fun to read, but her book just has a couple of recipes from her blog, and is mostly about her ranch life.
If you are a PW fan, then this is a must have, I will be giving it as a Christmas gift.
There are so many great cookbooks out there, I have been enjoying 2 Dudes One Pan and A Platter of Figs......new to my shelves and everything I have made has had great results.
Happy Holidays!

French in a Flash: Chouquettes

These are my favorite treats while in Paris, sold in bags of 7.
Each patisserie has a different way of making them.......I didn't realize how simple they are to make!
I will try it tomorrow!
Thanks!

Dinner in East Village?

I like Motorino on E. 12th for great pizza.......
Supper on E. 2nd for really delicious pastas made fresh to order and DBGB for great burgers.
The East Village is so good.......don't forget about Katz's deli for great pastrami sandwiches, though it is kind of gross in there.

What A $47,221 Lunch Looks Like

I ate at Nello's and it was just an average meal at a ridiculous price.
I was embarassed at the prices of pastas........
All the "fabulous" people were there, news anchors and retired athletes (whoopie).....good people watching, but glad someone else was paying the bill!

Yankees vs. Phillies: The Serious Eats World Series

If that hot dog is from Shake Shack, then it's from the Mets Citi Field in Flushing, Queens, not from Yankee Stadium.
That Motorino pizza looks sooo good!
