With fresh figs.

Doused with truffle butter and freshly shaved parmesan.

A brunch-time bacon tasting at Clover Club on Smith Street in Brooklyn.

Sable, belly lox, kippered salmon and whitefish, served alongside still-warm sesame bagels, cream cheese, slices of red onion and tomato. Serve with strong coffee and glass of pink grapefruit juice spiked with splash or two of gin.

Bone in ribeye, medium-rare.

Still searching, but I had some damn fine ribs at Blue Smoke.

My first bite of a Porchetta sandwich at the aptly named Porchetta in the East Village. As I stated on my blog, it was a religious experience: http://vittlesvamp.typepad.com/my_weblog/2009/01/a-religious-experience-in-the-east-village.html

I love a mix of the sweet and savory. Share a bagel with a schmear, lox and sable. Then, split a slice of babka. All goes well with a strong cup of java!

I can tell you from experience that the Bread Salad is terrific. Definitely worth making, if you're going to go to the trouble of roasting the bird. Here's a posting to check out my recent VittlesVamp posting about the same said recipe - including a photo of the glorious results!
