The frozen foie gras with pine nut brittle (and some other bits) at Momofuku Ko. Such a mix of flavors and textures. I loved it. My brother hated it. My friend was confused.

The eggs benedict at WD50 was super too - the hollandaise thingamabob was like a really delicious jalapeno popper. But without the 'peno. :P

Does anyone remember Villa Rosa on the North side of Chicago - in Edgebrook? That was my family's favorite place for thin crust growing up. Now that it's under new ownership, it's an utter disappointment.

I still pine for that perfect pizza. Grabbing the corner slices before my brother could!

“If they make it illegal to serve egg-white drinks, that would be Hurricane Katrina for us,” said one of several bartenders and club owners who said they had been challenged by inspectors but declined to be quoted on the record, for fear of antagonizing health officials."

I found this comment made in the NYT article about raw egg to be in extremely bad taste. The audacity of this bartender to marginalize a tragedy like Hurricane Katrina in order to argue for a cocktail ingredient?

The world will go on whether or not this Prohibition/Speakeasy cocktail boom gets to keep it's eggs.

warm everything bagel halved with a huge schmear of homemade veggie cream cheese. i glob off most of the cream cheese onto the wax paper and dip the bagel in it and the excess everything bits. on a special brunch occasion, i spring for cucumber, tomato and lox.

Le Pain Quotidien (sp?) has hot cider. There's one on West 64th btw CPW and Columbus.

And yeah, the Greenmarkets would have cider too! There's another one on Saturdays at the little triangle park by Lincoln Center - a short jaunt from the lower west side of the park.

had the pork when the truck was in dumbo. pretty good. and the guys are really nice!

I think she's making a joke with title.

looks like a butt

When I was having a bad day or was sick, my mom would make me a bowl of rice mixed with soy sauce and butter. The butter would be melting slowly into the hot rice and I would eat fast so I could catch that last little gob of cool, sweet butter.

On cold Saturday afternoons, my dad would take leftover rice and boil it with water. We would sit on stools at the kitchen island and slurp it down together with lots and lots of spicy radish kimchi and toasted seaweed. He would tell me stories about his childhood. This is his ultimate comfort food and now it's mine!

brined turkey and brussel sprouts with bacon. maybe i'll stuff the turkey with brussel sprouts and wrap the turkey in bacon. :)
