Serious Eats - seriouseats.com

I think this sounds like a great idea! My project is to spend more time in the kitchen. I LOVE eating, but am not as well versed in the cooking aspect. Good luck with your project!

Thanks so much. I have definitely been making much use of the help ticket system. I just don't want people over there to hate me :) because I keep sending tickets. Thanks again, I will check out that link and email you directly if I have any questions!

Hi, Thanks so much for your responses. Luckily I was able to get my blogger account back and am now discussing with the people at typepad about how to more efficiently move over to typepad. Do you suggest typepad ovet blogger? I am new the the blogging world. My current url is www.thepiggypost.com. I look forward to hearing frm you. Thanks again for your help!

I would try Supper (2nd and A), Caracas (7th btwn 1st and A), Max (B btwn 3rd and 4th), Veselka, Criff Dogs (yum!).... there are soo many!

For food on the go, I usually go to Nicky's (Bahn Mi on 2nd St/Ave A), Snack Dragon (3rd St/Ave B), Solo Pizza (Ave B btwn B and C), Piada (Clinton/Houston), Cafe Rhaka (Ave B/3rd St and one on St. Marks), Caracas on 7th btwn 1st and A has a to go part I think. Sorry, those are a little further Southeast but still very good. Ohh, also, Puebla and Downtown Bakery (two different mexican place with the same menu about a block a part) on 1st Ave around 4th.

I love ham and cheese, but unfortunately, it's not kosher (the whole meat and dairy thing, on top of ham being pig). I saw a recipe on SE last year for a pretzel crusted chicken. I made it and it was delicious! I would try that. Good luck!

I would go with Puebla or Downtown Bakery (basically the same place). I also really like Piada in the LES, although that may not be "of the radar". Nicky's is awesome for Bahn Mi.

@ fieryfudge - great! email me at avideater@gmail.com to discuss.

So far there haven't been a lot of responses via email and I'd like to get the email group going so please email if you're interested.

Nope, not just 7. At that point only 7 had responded. Feel free to send me an email at avideater@gmail.com and tell me a little about your food taste. The group is still developing and it would be neat to have people with different backgrounds. Look forward to hearing from you.

Additionally, I think the idea would be to get an small email group (I started one on gmail) outside of seriouseasts to keep this a more exclusive/small/private group. Thoughts?

Email me at avideater@gmail.com and we can discuss limitations, size of the group, etc. Since we are still only 7 members we should be able to shape this however we want.

@ FeliciaLovesFood, alainakunin, simon, Lorenzo -

If you're interested, should we set up an email for our small group. One of us, I can volunteer, can provide their email address, you can email me and I will set up an email group of the 2, 3, 4 + of us who are interested and we can go from there, rather than on this public post. Let me know what you think and I'll send my email in my next post to this chain.

@ simon, @ Lorenzo - I agree

HOWEVER

This sounds like the Seattle Bourdain episode and the group I was so jealous of. Let me know how you'd like to implement this.
