yum...i am booking flight to NYC soon!

You know they already sell Baconaise in the stores but it isn't made with real Bacon. It tastes really good though. I am going to make your version as I have some rendered bacon fat in my refrigerator. Never thought of making it myself. I can just imagine what that lamb mayo tastes like! Yikes. Lamb is such a highly flavored fat as it is.

Roast Chicken with Garlic/Preserved Vegetable is one of my faves! Great review! You got a lot of the dishes my family and I would've ordered. I gotta try that fried chicken stuffed with sticky rice.

Congrats from London, England. Hopefully next time I'm in NY you'll have opened successfully and started serving some of your beautiful pies.

My family and I will welcome you to the hood by coming at least once a month. Looking forward to some decent competition to Motorino and Fornino and one that's within walking distance from us!

dammit! my cousin just moved and would have lived about 2 blocks from here. looks like i'll have to make a road trip net time i come out for a visit. good luck paulie gee!

Well first of all I was excited to eat at Bobby Flays place so I had high expectations but that shouldn't a affect my review. I ate at the Lake Grove restaurant. I ordered a blue burger medium rare, a dark chocolate shake and onion rings. The burger was actually raw! and the bottom half of the roll was not usable because it was saturated and I was unable to pick it up. I sent the burger back and this time I got one that was well done. They can't seem to get the cooking process right. Even that bottom half of the roll was wet. The shake was nothing more than ice cream stirred up to be soft, it was too thick to drink, and surprisingly for that price ($5.00) it was pretty small. The onion ring order was also small for the price and not so great, not crunchy or that tasty, rather bland. I have to say for the value, the whole meal was definitely not worth the price and the atmosphere was very cold and uninviting. I will definitely not be visiting this place again and I will not recommend this place to anyone either. I can honestly say that burger king is better than this place. Sorry Bobby, I think you better visit this location and straighten out your good name.

And, hey, the closest subway stop is on the G line! Perfect!!

@captpizza Thanks for the good wishes. As far as ruining things goes, I'm taking a different view of it. I've been doing what I don't even like for 30 years just to earn a living. Now it's time to do what I love. All the complications in the world can't take away the feeling I get when everything goes right and I get to watch people dig into a good looking, tasty pie. Go find the picture I think Adam took of me gazing at one of my pies as I pull it out of the oven and head inside to serve it. As long as I keep focused on getting that result, the other stuff that gets thrown in front of me will be worth putting up with. And now I get the added pleasure of putting a place together for people to come and enjoy. Through my interviews, I have already met a small army of people from North Brooklyn who I can sense have a real excitement about what we'll hopefully create for everyone to enjoy. And all the red tape in the world can never take away from all of those kick ass comments just above this one.

Thanks again,

Paulie Gee

Paulie- If you want to ruin the thing you love- try to make a living doing it! I wish you the best of luck
