Cook the Book: Spaghetti alla Carbonara

the key is to have the egg out of the fridge and at room temperature, so when added to the hot pasta the egg doesn't scramble right away. in italy, they won't serve you carbonara in the summer when it's too hot to keep the eggs at room temp! and real carbonara is made with guanciale, not pancetta. but any cured pig product will do it...

except Katz's Matzoh Ball soup is disgusting. if they had said 2nd avenue's matzoh ball soup, then we could talk. but Katz's? gross... even russ and daughters has better matzoh ball soup than Katz's, and they are a smoked fish shop!

Katz's Deli: Go for the Pastrami, Not the Breakfast

Nick is right on the money here about HFCS- the environmental concerns alone are enough to make me never want to eat this item again! @ChefKyleRD, you might want to check out what Michael Pollan has to say on this topic.
and yes, Katz's is gonna be rough most times of the day when it comes to food... my how the mighty have fallen- Katz's is a mere shadow of its former glory- when i was a child Katz's was unbelievably good- now, it is very difficult to get a good pastrami sandwich there. a dog on the line, crisp, is probably gonna work... but the meats are pretty ruf, the knishes are blarghhhh, and the fries nothing special. believe it or not, the new 2nd ave deli really seems to be getting their act together in the meats dept.- i actually had an excellent fatty, juicy, melt in your mouth pastrami sandwich there last week. and sides at 2nd ave are much much better than katz's- the matzoh ball soup i would say has reached it's former glory again! enjoy!

'New York' Magazine Pizza Extravaganza

what a putz- take your overpriced yuppy pizza and go straight to california, where they will surely appreciate an utter douche like this guy. This kind of attitude coming from a guy who told me to my face that Sally's and Pepe's in New Haven were both crap and Difara was overrated... and then proceeded to charge us $22 for a tiny, watery, runny, sad excuse for a pizza. oh, and i've eaten pizza in Napoli MANY times... sleeves and a bad attitude do not a great pizzialo make... a little humility would go a LONG way for this cat... good luck on the west coast! bye!

Belcourt: A Hamburger for the Locavore and the Purist

is this burger grass fed AND finished or grass fed and grain finished? it is my understanding that a grain finish on a grass fed animal is relatively humane (only for a few weeks before slaughter, not long enough to sicken the animal and thus necessitate antibiotics) and can really bridge the gap between 100% grass fed beef and grain fed beef (which we associate with the taste of great american beef). worth checking out... but great to see a grass fed burger getting props here from the burgermeister...

New Jersey Dispatch: The New Fairway Market in Paramus

though it's a Fairway indeed, it has been, the 3 times i shopped there, absolutely crammed tight with clueless people walking in circles. selection is fantastic as in NYC fairways, though when i asked an official looking fairway employee if this fairway had the famed fairway lobster roll, he first said no, then thought about it and said "they've got everything you want at the sushi bar". so i guess that's a no on the lobster roll... a great resource for northern jersey, maybe best to shop at off hours to avoid insane crowds around the meat, cheese, and fish counters.

Things to eat in NYC that you can't find in California

easy- get some good bagels (ess, etc.) or some delicious Kosar Bialies. walk over to russ and daughters and get some salty lox, whitefish salad, sturgeon, trout roe, caviar cream cheese, and dine on the bench outside russ. then drive to brooklyn and go to Difara and get a real NY pie (be sure to try both the square pies and the regular pies). enjoy
