The Redhead: Thursdays to Every Day, One Chef's Path
Went for dinner last night. Probably the best fried chicken I've ever had. Also had the peanut/bacon brittle (very addictive) and soft pretzel & sausage (amazing quality and spices!). Highly recommend though it is a small location for may be not for large groups.
It's HOT in NY!
Planning to make the following items:
* Chicken wings (broiled in toaster oven) with spices
* Cannellini beans and roasted red/yellow peppers salad
* Sauteed spinach and eringi (king oyster) salad with garlic
and a huge huge huge glass of water or seltzer :-)

Hate to rain down on the parade but yes Mei Lah Wah has been closed due to DOH. The record is not very clear on the DOH website though.

Wine Bars in New York Story: How's the Food?
I have been to Terroir few times since it opened and had few food items off the menu: lamb sausage with sage leaves, cheese plates and panna cotta with cherries. They were all delicious --- in fact, last time I was there, I overheard Andrew Knowlton of Bon Appetit complimenting Marco Canora on the sausage and the "comeback of sage."

rib eye or fillet mignon
Seriously Delicious Holiday Food Giveaway: Russ & Daughters
I may not be original, but bagel, lox and cream cheese is the best. I prefer some capers and very thin slices of red onion on that.

I just went last night with my grandparents. Fried chicken was delicious. It's now $17. Everything was pretty good. My grandfather's boyfriend loved the shrimp and grits.

I was surprised to see Lung Moon wasn't on your list. They are my last stop before taking the subway back to Brooklyn. Their cram rolls are amazing. Baked baos are out of this world as well as red bean cakes. The only thing I've ever found lacking was their coconut buns which I would usually grab from a place on the corner of Baxter and Canal.

Things to eat in NYC that you can't find in California
easy- get some good bagels (ess, etc.) or some delicious Kosar Bialies. walk over to russ and daughters and get some salty lox, whitefish salad, sturgeon, trout roe, caviar cream cheese, and dine on the bench outside russ. then drive to brooklyn and go to Difara and get a real NY pie (be sure to try both the square pies and the regular pies). enjoy

I grew up in California and now living in New Jersey I can say that a good neighborhood deli is something any Californian should be blessed with. The delis I went to back in CA are nothing compared the ones out here. Don't stress over pizza, LA pizza is solid.
Things to eat in NYC that you can't find in California
Depends on where in California they are from, Northern CA offerings (total foodies) and Southern CA offerings (much more diet orientated) are vastly different. Great deli sandwiches, bagels, and black and white cookies (and pizza) are known for being NY staples, you probably can't go wrong there.

HOw about whitefish salad? Zabar's is terrific. If you are having a more serious meal, east coast fish is the way to go -- from Citarella's.
Things to eat in NYC that you can't find in California
Clam pizza from Lombardi's. I ate three slices on Wednesday and I probably could have eaten the whole pie.

SPICY TUNA ROLL - I swear I am addicted. I have to have a spicy tuny roll from one particular sushi spo every dayt. I crave it almost as soon as I get up ever day. Sick, huh!
Sweet Ticket Giveaway, Week 3: Pichet Ong's Guilty Pleasure Sweet
My guilty pleasure is that I can't pass up a piece of cheescake. Any kind! Plain, fancy - as long as it is cheescake...new york style, any style - love it. Thanks for this opportunity!
Sweet Ticket Giveaway, Week 3: Pichet Ong's Guilty Pleasure Sweet
I am a sweet freak with very little guilt, though every now and again I get sad for no reason. The other day I ate a spoon of Duncan Hines fudge frosting right out of the container. It was all delicious and trans fatty. Does that count?

Cheesecake.........ummmmmm!
Sweet Ticket Giveaway, Week 3: Pichet Ong's Guilty Pleasure Sweet
Sour-Patch Kids, Skittles, and other candies sold at movie theaters in large quantities, primarily to fourth-graders. I avoid making eye-contact as I make the purchase and then run off to the theater.
p.s. my girlfriend is dying for these tickets... please give them to me... please
Sweet Ticket Giveaway, Week 3: Pichet Ong's Guilty Pleasure Sweet
This is kind of embarassing, but we're supposed to be honest here right? Just to be clear, these are *guilty* pleasures...
1. Butterscotch Krimpets (eat them quickly so no one notices and then lick off any icing stuck to the plastic)
2. Real whipped cream straight...a little dash of vanilla, high peaks, and then into my mouth!
3. Swedish fish (wow...I don't think I've ever told anyone how I feel about swedish fish)
Desserts I would not mind being caught with and would like in front of me this instant:
Sprungli
warm chocolate chip cookies
hot fresh Krispy Kreme glazed donuts
mint chocolate chip ice cream
