while I often classify myself as a vegetarian because its simply easier to do so, I enjoy eating meat when I do. I have given in to temptation with my mom's bbq pulled pork many times. She always makes it specially for me, because she loves meat, loves to tell me she loves meat, and loves cooking meat knowing the family 'vegetarian' will eat it.
Not exactly in NYC, but I love Blue Hill Stone Barns. Fabulous, if you can get a table.
oh my gosh. I love those things. I had them in Southern Brazil, where they roast them with the shells on, and then you crack them open when warm. They are popular in, I believe Sao Jose des Campos, where venders will pick the fallen ones below the trees, and then roast them to sell.
I am a vegetarian for a lot of reasons, so I no longer eat meat at all. For the first year or two, especially at Thanksgiving and Christmas, I would miss it, but now I don't "crave" any sort of animal protein.
Okay, maybe ONE THING still gets to me --- the smell of pancetta sauteeing in a pan, but even then, the smell has to be enough, because as much as I'd love a taste, I won't take one. Really. I swear. Honest and truly.
A NY Strip steak, lovingly cooked to medium rare or less, is a thing of beauty.
That, and anything you shove in front of me when I've been drinking. I get the booze munchies. Usually it's hot wings that get past my veggie filter in this state.
Strange that my meat concessions should be some of the bloodiest/boniest options, instead of something barely meat-seeming like a burger or chicken nuggets.
(Vegetarian for objections to the meat industry. So actually that farm-raised, ethically treated, happy cow that becomes my steak at a fancy steak place is fine with me.)
We have eaten at Babbo several times, some better than others. The last time we were there (with friends who own a restaurant), the waitstaff was pretentious/snobby, we were rushed through dinner and our guests were not impressed with the restaurant at all. We, as a group, vowed never to go back (and haven't).
Per Se was wonderful. I would love to get into Momofuku Ko, but I think it would be impossible.
tough list, man
masa and per se are exorbitantly priced - worth it, but still...
ko is an impossible reservation
and babo and grammercy - well good choices as at least they are attainable...
but c'mon...
@Asado: I think they may have been boiled, but I honestly don't remember. :\ Maybe they were boiled and then...further cooked.
Mm, I'd love to try pesto made from pinones!
I came across them a couple of years ago and I'm hooked. They work extremely well in pesto or a variety of sauces that call for nuts. Tasty in salads too. Were those in the photo boiled then pan roasted? Can't wait until they hit the shelves in a couple of months to try something new. Definitely agree that they are hunger killers though.
Someone passed this on to me a while back. In Portuguese, but simple enough for Google translate.
@allistew: Ooh, I hadn't seen them roasted in their shells! That sounds really good. If I ever go to Brazil I'll have to get some of that...
