Is the Landmark Tavern in NYC gone?

Its still open and across the street from Daisy May's BBQ which might be a better food option.

Cook the Book: The Splendid Table's How to Eat Supper

Thomas Keller - even though you consulted on Ratatouille, which made fun of frozen food, why have you decided to start selling Thomas Keller frozen food?

Baking with Dorie: Daniel Boulud's Coffee-Cardamom Pots de Crème

I just made these and they're cooling as we speak. I think for next time I'll start caramelizing the sugar before adding the coffee beans and cardamon. You can hardly see if you have the correct amber color and the pan gets a bit hot so it felt like the coffee was getting burnt.
Skimming the foam off makes the presentation nicer however you lose about 1/2cup in the process. The plastic wrap melted in my oven within the first few minutes so I removed it and didn't use anything else. Maybe because I forgot to poke holes in it? Then again, people at home don't have industrial strength plastic wrap. Looks great and I'm sure it'll taste great!

The Cartoon Kitchen: Filbert Brownies

Used ground almonds instead of the hazelnuts. Would recommend toasting the ground nuts before incorporating into the mix, also added a pinch of salt.
Brownies were good though the center puffed up a lot right out of the oven.
