First Look: Fort Reno, a New Barbecue Spot in Park Slope

Stopped by for a take-out dinner tonight. Friendly staff with either pulled pork or brisket and a few sides on the menu. They didn't have any small containers for their excellent house made hot sauce so they comped me an entire bottle. Nice!

AHT Giveaway: Fatty Melt Meal for Two at Rub BBQ (Plus a Look Behind the Scenes)

The most extreme burger I ever ate was one I made at home. It was an oyster-stuffed blue cheese bacon burger. I shucked 2 oysters and marinaded them in Worcestershire sauce. I then sandwiched them between 2 thinner patties, sealed the edges and grilled them.

I like it served by itself, sliced thinly with crusty bread and a glass of wine.

Know of a bakery that has delicious Cinnamon rolls/buns?

Although not Manhattan, the Iris Cafe in Brooklyn Heights makes the best that I've tasted (other than homemade) in a long time:

Poll: How Would You Deal With Restaurant Error?

We went to Thomas Beisl with another couple for dinner. My wife found shards of glass in the sauce of her chicken paprikash . We pointed this out to our server. She whisked it away and replaced it asap with a fresh plate.

They comped us the whole meal for the 4 of us including drinks.

We did leave a very nice tip.

We go to BAM, right across the street, a lot, and we've never been back. But with the choice of restaurants nearby it's not a problem. We especially like Bacchus on Atlantic Avenue. Real bistro fare at reasonable prices.

Sugar Rush: Chocolate Bread Pudding at Tate's Bake Shop

Or make your own. Restaurant Girl posted this recipe from Gramercy Tavern. I like the brioche from Amy's:

This recipe is dangerous. It's quite easy to make and reheats very nicely in the microwave.

Soft-Serve Ice Cream Stands in Upstate New York

If you get a chance make sure to visit Anderson's in Buffalo. My favorite is pistachio and they have other soft serve flavors as well.

Stay away from their beef on weck, stick to Schwabl's or Charlie the Butcher and don't forget Ted's.

@Chichi - Thanks for the update. But it doesn't solve the problem about what to do for lunch. Bacon-cheddar burger on the grill or Cobb Salad with tandoori chicken breast or left over "fried chicken" from Congee Village.

I think I'm going with the burger.

I have a question about the total amount of butter in this recipe. How much goes in when you say "incorporate all the ingredients" and how much goes in when you say "Pound out cold butter"? 40 grams doesn't seem like enough.
