Esquire Names The Best Bars in America

All the bars in New York are in New York City??? Gotta add the Old Pink in Buffalo to that list. That place is classic.

Hand-held foods?

hailing from buffalo i think if i saw someone eat a chicken wing with a fork i would fall off my chair. much the same confusion i witness when i see new yorkers with all their umbrellas open on snowy days.

New Year's Brunch: Mâche Salad with Pomegranate Molasses Dressing

I made a pomegranate molasses dressing for Christmas Eve dinner by cooking down POM brand pure pomegranate juice with some agave nectar. Reducing it to about half and a thick molasses. It was tasty but seems more cost effective to buy this molasses. Did you find it in New York and if so, what store carries it?

Thanks!

How to Survive a Tasting Menu in Six Easy Steps

drink the wine too!! my friend was OD'ing on water at our last dining out and was getting soooo full. i, however, was drinking a bottle of wine and enjoying every last bite of food!

It's not worth it to make _______ when I could just buy it

Completely disagree about the stock! Not utilizing a whole chicken when you buy it to make stock in my mind is a waste of food (maybe I'm just too cheap to shell out 4.99 for a little container of organic stock when I already have a chicken).

Dinner rolls. I homemade dinner rolls for Thanksgiving this year and it wasn't worth it. The turned out too dense and not even as good as store bought rolls. Actually, any bread making is a waste of time for me. I live in Brooklyn, we have excellent bakeries for these sorts of things.

Anyone watching the Batali/Paltrow show on PBS?

I happen to like it. It's shot beautifully and I love the Bittman, Batali and Paltrow trio. Claudia, however, should be thrown to the wolves. She is not entertaining and I hate when she tries to "teach" Bittman spanish. It's probably the most uncomfortable and annoying thing ever televised. The food and the wine look delicious!

Who Should Pay at a Birthday Dinner?

I don't do birthday dinners. I am a struggling student in new york and I always get stiffed on the birthday dinner thing. I just make plans to meet the group after dinner for drinks and make sure to buy a cocktail or two for my birthday friend.

Is there any such thing as summer comfort food?

potato salad, hamburgers, spare ribs, hot dogs, macaroni salad, pasta salad, summertime bbq food is the ultimate comfort food! i'll take a burger, rare, with avocado and homemade mayo over a chicken pot pie or braised anything, any old day.

Zuni Cafe's $8 Nectarine Dessert Is Just a Nectarine; Diners Left Confused

is this some sort of political statement about rising food costs? because if it is, then ok. but i would still want a least a dollop of ice cream or my 8 dollars back cause a WHOLE nectarine is not dessert, it's a midday snack.

Is Whole Foods Becoming Costco with a Side Order of Trader Joe's?

whole foods is actually pretty cheap when it comes to stuff like seafood and meat. some non perishable stuff you can probably find cheaper if you bargain shop. but all in all, people have gotten used to food costing a LOT less than it should so get used to the whole foods prices. america's "dirty little secret" is the amount of our income we spend on food.

buy what you can local and head over to whole foods for olive oil and flour.
