2007: The Year in Food Trends

As with all rules, there are exceptions. If you haven't tried the Amish Cheddar Shortcake at Ssäm Bar, you're missing out. Christina Tosi is a mad genius. Ham Cream!

Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Bacon of the Month Club

Bacon needs to be just thick enough to be cooked crispy on the outside, yet moist and tender on the inside.

Crap: It's Healthier Than You Think

This article was featured on Slate's Daily Podcast. At 33, I know I'm supposed to be "mature" and all, but hearing Dale Willman's serious, NPR voice say "how much shit can we safely eat" makes me giggle.

We're Giving Away a Truly Great Steak This Weekend

Kathryn and I are fond of Keens Steakhouse, and usually order the Aged Prime Porterhouse for Two. Afterwards, I like to stop and sample their vast selection of single malts--or, on special occasions, enjoy an after-dinner scotch flight.

Top Chef on NBC...just once?!?!?

Could it be an Emmy qualification technicality of some sort? Are there any categories that are exclusive to network primetime?

I top my pancakes & waffles with_______

Fried chicken. Well, waffles, at least.

Best NYC Bloody Marys

According to CitySearch, it's Devin Tavern, and I agree wholeheartedly. Not overly garnished, and features tomato juice made fresh in-house. Superb.

The waffles are also excellent; the included strawberry butter eats like ice cream. I usually crave a savory dish with my bloody, but here I always make an exception.

Buttermilk Pancakes from Scratch

From this month's Cook's Illustrated: "A warm oven can be used to keep pancakes hot, but this method sometimes results in a dried-out breakfast. Rebecca Cohen of New York, NY uses the following trick for keeping pancakes hot and moist as they come out of the skillet. 1) Bring 2 cups water to a simmer in a large saucepan. Place a large heatproof plate on top of the saucepan. 2) As the pancakes are cooked, place them on the warm plate until serving time."

Top 5 NYC Hot Chocolates

No Vosges? Their Aztec Elixir is fantastic, for those who like the spicy. Best in the city, imo.

How much do you tip the person who delivers your food?

I suppose it would be helpful if I mentioned that these rules of thumb are specific to New York City, where deliveries are made by foot or bicycle.

While not ice cream, Chris Cosentino's bay leaf panna cotta is awesome. I would love to see more savory desserts on menus. Sure there may be some overzealous chefs overreaching their experiments, I don't see why chefs can't experiment with, and we can't experience, new flavors. Chefs, never stop exploring and showing us new techniques and flavors.

Crispy enough so that the fat is crunchy but not so much that the meat is dried out
