It must be Ham in Coca Cola!

I may have to Ham In Coca Cola. I love how it's just described as "in coca cola" and not "braised in coca cola." Makes it sound somewhat like a modern artwork.

Gotta pay tribute and do the Silver Palate's stuffing.

Considering how ridiculously successful the show is (last year's finale scored far higher ratings than Top Chef's, amazingly), I guess it's somewhat relevant even if it's bad television?

Unfortunately, cancellation's not happening; it's the network's most successful show ever. They're already beginning work on the next season.

Gorilla coffee. Neighborhood classic.

People also use 'em in all kinds of wacked-out cookie recipes...

Hey! This is Jeff from Elephant Larry, the fellow who took the picture.

Just to mention to the 3 or 4 commenters that took issue with the post - I don't really think it was life-alteringly horrifying, I just thought it was worth snapping a picture. I co-write a blog for a comedy group. I think overemphasizing my disgust probably for makes better reading than "hey, this is a picture that I think is somewhat weird." :)

I'll say this: those two fish are probably not getting sold.

Thanks for the link, Adam! You rock. And Bosch rocks.

Gruyere!

Thank you, mgnnn! That was a straight-up carpaccio - not New American at all. The only slight twist was the spherified olive juice, which if anything would be considered New Spanish since it's a Ferran Adria trick. I'm surprised that Tom even pointed out the olives, since he seemed exhausted with "molecular" stuff after last season.

I thought the judges favored Stefan's dish in the tasting segment, and he didn't even end up in the top few... Weird, since his dish probably resembled New American the most. I know they may not want to show him sweeping everything, but he may have deserved it, like it or not.

I'm not involved enough to stake a claim about the pure New Yorkness of DiFara, but it is the best pizza I've ever had in my life, and I know many others who say the same.

Thanks, SHF, glad to hear it! I usually don't crave cookies much in the summer (especially w/Ronnybrook ice cream being readily available in the market), but that Lime Cornmeal is one summery cookie.

The mini poppy hamantaschen at Moishe's Bake Shop (the one on 2nd ave bet. 6th and 7th) are really great. Very traditional approach, but done well.
