Ice Cream That's Out of This World

damn, I was so excited to get some astronaut ice cream from this site and try and see how disgusting the chicken and beef dinners probably are =D but minimum $15 for shipping! I'll just go to the Natural History Museum in Manhattan, they've got the ice cream hookup there. Or maybe I can get people to chip in...

I ate there last week and to paraphrase my muse Homer Simpson: "Mmmm... Face Bacon" The best part is, you can practically see the terror frozen into the little piglets eye holes just as you're about to chomp down on it!

It's hard to believe all these different meats come from the same wonderful, magical animal.

Let's not get bogged down in debates about how to spell certain varieties of mushrooms. I think we can all agree that eating at Blue Hill at Stone Barns is a unique and delicious experience.

Cassaendra, it doesn't matter how you spell Portobello when referring to the mushroom as different distributors in the US and Europe may employ either spelling rather than the other.

Maybe you should have a drink.

If you want the experience, but can't pay the big bucks for dinner, try a brunch. It's as incredible, in it's own way, as the more expensive meals. Not to say that it was inexpensive, but it was well worth the money. The one annoying point was the extra charge for a basket of bread.

Oooh boy - have reservations there in about 2 weeks - can't wait!

Cassaendra- Shiitake is not misspelled. It is a Japanese word, so it is not natively written in Roman characters. Shiitake or Shitake would both be appropriate ways to translate the Japanese Kanji characters into English.

I live quite nearby Stone Barns and will be working at their farm camp this summer.
Blue Hills at Stone Barns is quite an amazing restaurant; I've eaten there once. It really has a vision unlike any other culinary institution. Yes it might seem like absurd prices and ridiculous services like too many waiters, but the food, the presentation, and the location are all wonderful!
Well, Im looking forward to spending time on their farm this summer, so I can learn some secrets of this place!

Admirable and brave, but not afraid to charge for it. Without a doubt, culinary artistry with a truly contemporary dynamic. To include snout, neck and pig's ear at these prices is surely a wonderful irony! Stick it to the rich my man, up the proletariat! The poor have been enjoying these succulent cuts for millenia, let's hope the upper class doesn't "hog" these treasures too...

I have been here for spring, summer, fall and winter. All the menus are out of this world. During the spring months you will see more produce on the menu; however November is just as wonderful. I highly recommend the farmers feast. If you plan on dining on a Saturday evening, I recommend booking two months in advance. My husband and I got married here and it truly is a spectacular / memorable restaurant.

If by most important restaurant in America you mean restaurant most reminiscent of Marie Antoinette playing shepardess with perfumed sheep, you are correct.
