some of my favorites are already listed so I'll go with EN Brasserie for some really nice lychee champagne cocktails
that tiny plate of food is $23? seriously though, that is a really small plate.
kuma inn, yum yum! love their lhaksa and wings, yum yum
love this place!!! the caesar kale salad is excellent, as are all the pastas. the flambe whole fish for 2 is the best!
hakata ton ton's "carbonara", ippudo's pork buns, hill country ribs, maloney and porcelli giant slab of pork chop, pork belly and watermelon salad at fatty crab, slab bacon "steak" at mark joseph
whoopie pie!
I love turkey burgers! They taste different than beef burgers, but doesn't mean that they can't be good in their own right. I grate up veggies and add them in to the mix, usually some carrot, zucchini, some chopped mushrooms, season well, use dark meat ground turkey if possible (makes a big difference in my opinion). Add splash of soy, worcheshire (sp), herbs of choice, a little panko and an egg. Pan fry til golden and top with srichicha mayo or good ketchup or bbq sauce. they make excellent sliders too, topped with bbq sauce and a b&b pickle. mmmmm!
crispy crackly on an arugula salad
I love pakora so much. More more more please! Maybe a series on wonderful deep fried Indian treats? Like samosas, pakora, etc. Mmmmm
BLAT sandwich (blt with avo!)
onions. really!
hmmm, seems like i've tried pretty much every burger that would warrant fame... liked the minetta black label, love shake shack and in-n-out, corner bistro is overrated, aha. the peter luger burger. had their steaks but not their burgers. huzzah! and i've heard the foie stuffed boulud burger is gross.
caramel! it was a candy thermometer.
pork belly!
skirt steak, burgers, veg kabobs
B61 bus! don't give up, sometimes it takes a while for it to show up. It's a quick hop from the 2/3 or 4/5 train stops at borough hall. walk straight down court to atlantic avenue and the bus stop is in front of the drugstore.
agree on the Fernet Branca not being overly sweet, syrupy or heavy on the aftertaste (there is some, but it doesn't linger as much).
is eau de vie considered a digestif? bc sometimes i like that too. i eat too much.
i am a human goldfish (if it's good and in front of me, i'll keep eating).
happy happy joy joy!!! this sounds amazing. smith street is deadly on the wallet and the waistline for tasty treats with the expanded stinky bk and this place and others. mmm. how does it compare to russ and daughters? worth sticking in the neighborhood or is the schlepp still worth it (which actually from here is about as easy to get to as anywhere, i mean, like 3 stops on the F, not transfers, but still!)
i hope these aren't library books! i'm a little stymied as to how eating and reading works but then i'm a two handed reader. maybe i'm the outlier? i would say tacos + books are a "recipe" for disaster. had to be said, try the veal, tip your waittress. but seriously, anything that is messy even with full attention and two hands isn't going to work with a book. my guesses would be something like a fully enclosed sandwich in a pita, chips, etc. i would stay away from anything that requires finger wiping though, because then you're going to get it all over the book pages.
fernet branca is the best cure for a stomach ache. once after a particularly overindulgent meal, i stopped by a liquor store on the way home to pick up a bottle. i was in so much pain, i was doubled over. a few healthy swigs of fernet branca (in the store, natch!), i was right as rain within about 5 minutes. that stuff is gold. btw, i liked the article as well. ha
had a smashburger last night at the BK location and it was very good! the shop is clean, the staff is friendly, and the burger was a sloppy, salty, delight. yum!
Hi,
I was wondering what the policy is for deleting posts? I've posted a few times where it mysteriously disappears not too long afterwards. The latest example was the "where to pre-order thanksgiving pie" thread, and I suggested a bakery around the corner from me that I like very much. Just checked the thread to see other people's suggestions and *poof* my post is gone. I was wondering, it was pretty harmless so why would it be removed?
Thanks!
ok, so my neighborhood came up empty, i tried people's suggestions and nada sauerkraut. so if you know of a place that has awesome deli sauerkraut, please advise. thanks!!!
where can i buy sauerkraut in carroll gardens / cobble hill? as far as i know, we don't have any real delis, which would be my first thought. then i though trader joes maybe? but i don't think they have it according to their website. i thought maybe esposito's but not really. help! thanks!!!
Hey all. I did a search but didn't come up with what I was looking for. Can people suggest where they get really tasty produce? Like if you were going to put together a fruit basket for a special occasion, where would you buy fruit?
Thanks!!!
Banana cream pie always brings to mind those revolving fridges at diners, stockpiled with chilled desserts gussied up with from-the-can whipped cream bouffants. I love bananas—and those lit-up iceboxes—but it has never once occurred to me to order banana cream pie. It always looks jiggly and a bit sad, especially next to the buxom double-crust apple pie and the luscious chocolate silk. It was time to give the banana cream pie some help. And yes, bourbon is very much involved. More
Pão de queijo, Portuguese for cheese bread, are tiny cheese puffs made with yuca (not to be confused with yucca) flour and a slightly sour, tangy fresh cheese. They smell awesome when they're hot. More
