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!
Openings: Paulie Gee's, Greenpoint, Brooklyn
It's about time!!!!!!
A Brooklyn pizza legend is born!
We can't wait for the opening......it will be worth the trip into Brooklyn for the very BEST pizza. Watch out Chris Bianco!

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!

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!
Beyond the Ice Cream: The Bent Spoon in Princeton, New Jersey
This place is the BEST!
Their flavors change daily and they let you try anything and everything.
My favorite is the cadamom ginger, & blood orange it's scary good.
The Bent Spoon is truly an artisanal gelato/ice cream store, and worth a ride to Central Jersey. I stop in everytime I am in Princeton, even in the winter.
Should Bagel Shops Charge For Toasting?
One bagel store in NJ charges extra to slice the bagel, so why wouldn't they charge to toast the bagel?
Soon they will charge extra to put it in a bag.
Black and Orange: Black Bread with Manchego, Marmalade, and Hazelnuts
Thank you for this nice idea.
I will be making this for one of my appetizers for Thanksgiving!
I love manchego w/ fig preserves, but love the hazelnuts and orange combo!

Chowhounder Has 'Best Pizza Ever!' at Co. Company
Adam,
We ate here last week (it's on my blog Stacey Snacks), and we were not impressed.
It was good, don't get me wrong, but nothing worth going back for.
We had the cauliflower pie and the sausage and fennel.
2 beers and shared a salad. $75 bucks. Pricey and I have had better.
Not worth waiting in line for.
But we will try it again, since you say it was great!
Great meeting you last night at Nomad!

Meet Your Farmers: Jen Small and Mike Yezzi, Flying Pigs Farm in New York
I bought their bacon at the Union Square Farmers Market, and though pricey, it was excellent!
In Season: Pears
Any apple dessert and roasted butternut squash!
Taste Test: Cheap But Good Olive Oils
I used to buy Frantoia, but the way I use olive oil, it was becoming cost prohibitive, and the taste is too strong for olive oil cakes (that use 1 cup of oil!).
I switched to Colavita, which always seems to be on sale in my supermarket in NJ.
It happens to be very good for everday use.
If it's good enough for Lidia, it's good enough for me.
Sullivan Street Bakery: New York's Best Bakery Keeps Rising
This is my favorite bread of all time.
It is true peasant bread, I love the pane pugliese.
We are lucky enough in NJ to be able to buy it at Whole Foods and some other local specialty markets......but there's nothing like buying it fresh from the bakery in the city.....especially the pizza bianco, when it's fresh out of the oven.
Do You Have a Favorite Cheapish Olive Oil?
I have cut back on my expensive olive oil purchases this year, and have been buying Colavita extra virgin olive oil at the super market.
It happens to be excellent for everyday cooking and salad dressings.....I do miss my Frantoia from Sicily, though.
In Memory of The Silver Palate's Sheila Lukins
She was not a smoker Dave, she died of brain cancer.
The Silver Palate cookbook was my first cookbook and I learned to cook from that book in the 90's. The gourmet takeout store on Columbus Ave. on the upper west side was also a fun place to go back then.
Chicken Marbella is my go to dish for the holidays.
She will be missed.
Yes Dave, 66 is way too young.
My Pizza Oven: Mark Wilkie, Windsor Terrace, Brooklyn
Beautiful oven!
I was lucky enough to sample the pizza at Paulie Gee's from his outdoor oven and there was nothing better!
Time Consuming Recipes
Anything from Suzanne Goin's Sunday Suppers at Lucques is a whole day ordeal.
I guess that's why they call it "Sunday Suppers" because you have to cook all day on a Sunday!
The results are always fantastic and worth the effort.

Cornucopia Salad at Georgia On My Thighs
I am nauseous! is this for real?
Video: "Which Way to Paulie Gee's?"
I am one of the lucky ducks who have been to a Paulie Pizza Tasting, and I can say, it's all it's cracked up to be, and more.
The best pizza we have ever eaten!
What makes you feel better?
scrambled eggs with a dash of salt.
How many times a day do you eat?
as many times as possible!
Lunch and Dinner at Locanda Verde: Just Like Breakfast, Worth a Trip
We went for dinner as a walk in on Wed. night, and really enjoyed the place.
Casual, friendly service, happening bar, and great food.
I loved A Voce, Carmellini's first restaurant. This is more like a trattoria, the crostini w/ fava bean puree was the bomb and the pasta dishes were also excellent.
Thanks for the recommendation!

Snapshots from the South of France: Pan Bagnat
This is my favorite sandwich of all time.
Gets better each day.
Here is my version.
Cookout Etiquette
I think it's the age of the host....college age people don't have much dough, so they ask people to bring the main dish, liquor and desserts.
What's left?
Not in my world.
You are invited to my party, just bring yourself.
Food, booze and entertainment provided by yours truly.
How tacky to be asked to bring your own seats?
just bring your ass!
'The Most Revolting Dish Ever Devised'? Or Have You Seen Worse?
This all sounds like "Goop Melange" from the Odd Couple.....Oscar's favorite dish!
Fill salad bowl w/ sardines and pickles
Top w/ whipped cream
Garnish w/ crushed potato chips...........
Athletes supposedly trained on this!

French in a Flash: Chouquettes
@droostring, mmmm... blue cheese.... lovely!
French in a Flash: Chouquettes
I absolutely love well made choquettes. I look forward to trying out this recipe soon!
French in a Flash: Chouquettes
Julia uses 3 TBS of butter to the 1 cup of water and 1 cup flour. 4 large eggs. she also says beat in the eggs while the pastry is still in the warm - not hot - pan. saves using - and washing - a bowl.
I like the gougere with a mix of crumbled/grated blue and gruyere cheeses with finely chopped chives in modest amounts in the dough. modest amounts so they still puff well.
or, to the dough, add a bit of sugar with the salt and fill them with chocolate mousse.
In Memory of The Silver Palate's Sheila Lukins
In case of hurricane, grab the cookbook.Chicken Marbella, Brie wrapped in Phyllo and Chocolate Hazelnut cake. All have become my friends all time favorites.Rest in Peace Sheila. You paved the way for all the others.

Wtf?! Are all Nello's dishes laced with gold??? I can't believe people are stupid enough to pay those ridiculously high prices...
What A $47,221 Lunch Looks Like
This wasn't a meal; it was a money laundering operation.

@Peensez: I guarantee you that Nello's didn't use $2-a-box pasta for the pasta specials.
I, too, am amused by all the outrage. A lot of people made a lot of money off this guy: isn't that a good thing?
French in a Flash: Chouquettes
Oops, Sorry. I meant Bon Appetit magazine. haha.
It was in their Hosting a party on a budget issue
French in a Flash: Chouquettes
@moonlyt, Gourmet magazine had a great recipe for blue cheese gougeres. Last time I made it, everyone loved them!
French in a Flash: Chouquettes
I have made choux a few times over the years. One piece of advise when adding the eggs is don't think you messed up when it doesn't look right around the 2nd egg time just keep stirring. First time I made the dough I thought i messed something up and started over then the second time i just kept stirring and it turned out. SO JUST KEEP STIRRING!

@Nathan Teager: Haha, this made me smile. You're right. Give us your poor, your tired...and the occasional hungry millionaire.
What A $47,221 Lunch Looks Like
Why is everyone mad. He added about $50,000 to the US's economy. Remember that he is from Russia and deals in rubles. Now his rubles have become dollars. Go USA!
What A $47,221 Lunch Looks Like
I find the outrage and disgust...odd. Why is it our business to judge what he does with his own money? @queenbleu, why should you detest the rich? He spent a lot on lunch - so what? At least he was more generous than he had to be with his server. Why all the anger? We have no way of knowing how he uses his money on a regular basis - nor is it our business. He might be just as lavish in his giving to charity for all we know.
Lighten up, people.
What A $47,221 Lunch Looks Like
@DCLSweetspot: Well, by that logic, why do we do a percentage for different dishes as well? It takes the same effort to bring out a plate that costs $20 as a plate that costs $8. We still do a percentage in those cases. Perhaps we should just give tips of a set fee rather than a variable percentage.
@sheba0915: a little strange that they didn't drink any vodka though.
