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.

It's gotta be the Silver Palate's cornbread-sausage stuffing w/apples.

Gotta pay tribute and do the Silver Palate's stuffing.
Do You Have a Favorite Greek Yogurt?
Fage 2% plain is just unbeatable. A perfect food. TJ's is similar and a little better priced, though the containers are also a little smaller (not a huge difference, granted). I get a chalky flavor in Chobani and Oikos (and a chalky texture in the Chobani as well).
Straining Stonyfield's normal plain yogurt and adding a bit of honey does the trick too!
'The Next Food Network Star' Week 3
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.
Market Scene: Grand Army Plaza, Brooklyn
That new spinach is fantastic. Just a word of caution: one of the farmstands (I forget which) is selling big ol' bags full of spinach that are labeled as "washed." Watch out! It was rinsed maybe once and it was still really sandy. I thought I'd be able to take it home and wilt away, but I had to spend an extra 45 minutes or so cutting it down, bathing it and drying it off.
But it was great spinach. It came attached to the heads/stalks, which would have made an awesome broth if I hadn't lost the time to cleaning.
Illy Espresso Machine Giveaway from 'Edible Brooklyn'
Gorilla coffee. Neighborhood classic.
Would You Eat Stinging Nettle?
Nettles=great! I was afraid of trying them for the first time by cooking them myself. If anyone else feels the same way, and happens to live in LA, Mozza uses them in one of their pizzas and it's REAL good.
What to do with Leftover Hard-Boiled Eggs
People also use 'em in all kinds of wacked-out cookie recipes...
Centro Vinoteca - worth it?
Website's still got it on there, last secondi item! Yeah, her demo of that on TV looked unbelievable.
The Worst Seafood Display Ever? Or the Most Brilliant? You Decide
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.
Honeycrisp Season?
Honeycrisps are addictive without a doubt, but I must say... they can get a little samey. The texture is always perfect, but they lack nuance. Larger rant at everyapple.tumblr.com
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Two Peter Luger Steaks
Ribeye, but curious about trying the flap!
'Top Chef' Season 5, Episode 2: It's a Dog Eat Dog World
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.
Dobos torte
Vicky- if you find yourself craving more Dobos, I'd also try Nita European Bakery in Sunnyside, Queens. My parents are Transylvanian/Romanian, and I was pretty much raised on their desserts. To me, their Dobos is the only Dobos. :)
One pizza in NYC to rule them all
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.
Favorite Fage mix-in?
any fruit-nut combination! my 3 favorite nuts for Fage experimenting are hazelnuts, almonds and pistachios. blueberries work all 3, peaches are great, mango is great. everything is great. :)
Amy's Bread Cafe: A Go-To Sandwich Spot. What's Yours?
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.
Amy's Bread Cafe: A Go-To Sandwich Spot. What's Yours?
Hopefully they're still carrying the Lime Cornmeal cookies at Amy's; they're tangy and a little abrasive in that good cornmealy way, and totally addictive.
How Much Should a Hamantaschen Weigh?
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.
