...with a diet coke?
For all you cheapskates: just a few blocks down from Pulino's, you can buy an incredibly addictive vegetable and goat cheese pressed panini at Fiat Cafe for $6.50.
There's nothing less sexy than a person, regardless of gender, who doesn't care what they drink or eat. It suggests a real lack of sensuality. This is such a great article series! Keep it coming, please. xx
I take my coffee with a splash of whole milk, which can be either a tablespoon or half a cup, depending on which barista is working that morning...
I've yet to eat Israeli food, but I can see this book playing a major role in my summer goal: to cook--and eat--fresh vegetables every single day. Exploring another culture's treatments of veggies would be a bonus!
as a health nut with a screaming sweet tooth, this is all i've ever wanted! the fact that this looks super beautiful and expensive is even better. i know what i'll be making next time a love interest stops over...
This turned out so well! Healthy and delicious and chocolate. Perfect. I love it when I have all the ingredients for a recipe in my pantry already. The preparations were a breeze, too.
What he/she said. FOUR STICKS OF BUTTER.
What a successful week! I think your idea of only trying the finalists is a good one--stick to it!
I had to laugh when I saw this article. Taim is the indisputable champion--didn't every New Yorker know this already?
Move over, watermelon with feta cheese and mint...THIS is my new go-to summer salad.
Does anybody know when strawberries are going to be in season?
Finally, a 'where to take the parents' article! I feel compelled to report that my Midwestern parents LOVE LOVE LOVE Milk Bar, Diner, Egg, and especially DBGB. All of these places are just interesting enough to be worthy of a story for the folks back home, and not too pricey (even at DBGB, believe it or not!).
O. M. G. My mouth is watering.
Mmmmmmmm says my mouth.
NOOOOOOOOOOO says my heart and arteries.
Congratulations Ed! We're all so proud of you!!!!!
nigella lawson...for the men. anthony bourdain...for the ladies.
the pork belly (they call it 'pork betty') is really delicious, but the sushi bombs and the tofu salad (trust me on this one) are their best dishes by far!
Both were in the wrong. If a restaurant offers dessert, bringing your own isn't polite and you should be charged--no matter who you are. That being said, any extra fees for corkage or plating or bringing in outside food need to be announced before they appear on the check.
Boo to the both of yas.
Where are the fruits and vegetables, Ed?! That episode of Good Eats where Alton Brown talks about increasing his nutrition to energy ratio is a good way to think about it. That hot chocolate you drank (even if it was two sips) has really no nutritional value--and the bacon is practically all fat. A veggie omelette with a side of whole wheat toast and/or a fruit cup would have been much more nutritionally sound, and way lower in calories.
Be careful with those dried fruits, too. They can be surprisingly calorie heavy if you don't measure 'em out. I hope you aren't eating those dried pineapple rings--so delicious but loaded with added sugar! XO.
joe's crab shack. only because of the disgusting t-shirts that all of the girls at my high school would wear. i mean, how gross is that, to let your 15-year-old daughter wear a top proclaiming that she "got crabs from joe"??
This recipe has a serious case of the cutes. Sorry birthday cake...you've been replaced.
Why. Why why why.
Wayward Daughter hasn't written a post yet.
It's elegant and fairly easy. Also: extravagantly spiced, just barely sweet enough, and filled with fruit flavor (the non-Froot Loop kind). It's the kind of dessert you'd serve to guests after a hearty dinner, and they'd never know it was low-calorie, with pretty decent doses of protein and fiber. More
Staring at my towering stacks of cookbooks, I realized that unlike compilers of other top-ten lists, I had the distinct advantage of testing multiple recipes from each and every book we've featured. And for me, when it comes down to judging a cookbook, it's the success (or failure) of the recipes that counts for the most points. More
You're positively nuts to not include Nolita's Tacombi. Their fish taco is head and shoulders above Pinche Taqueria's version, and only a few blocks away...
