What's Your Favorite Ice Cream Flavor
I second the votes for coffee and dulce con leche from HD... in fact, both of them in the same bowl is an excellent mochaccino like treat.

I drive through Princeton every day on the way to work... clearly I need to change my route, 'cause I've been missing this place.

Serious Heat: Sriracha Hot Wings
This thread has all the clues I need to possibly break the secret of the local tavern's sirachi wings where I used to live. THANK YOU!!! I've been in withdrawal.

Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Zingerman's Praise the Lard Gift Box
Mr. C (aka dad) used to make pork roll and egg sandwiches on Saturday morning when I was little.... I go have one at the cafe near my apartment when I'm feeling homesick.
Yes... I'm a Jersey girl and proud of it. :-)

solo, I like a filet... If I have a friend to help, porterhouse.
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Two Peter Luger Steaks
I'm generally a filet girl... but that doesn't stop me from enjoying a porterhouse if I have a friend or two with whom to share it.
PB and J?
My brother got me hooked years ago on PB&J with Rice Chex cereal.in the middle
A Slice of Heaven: Bar Pizza
If you wander down to the Princeton area and are looking for good bar pizza, I highly recommend City Streets Cafe in East Windsor, NJ. I miss Monday Night Football over there since I moved.

Serious Heat: Sriracha Hot Wings
Sriracha sauce is simply genius.
Serious Heat: Sriracha Hot Wings
In our house wings are always unbreaded. My hubby hates breading. I just roast them naked, just a bit of salt and pepper, maybe a drizzle of oil, and then coat them well in a sauce when they get out of the oven. I've done garlic oil, I've done ketchup and a miriade (sp?) of sauces. I've also done the classic butter and Frank's or butter and some other hot sauce. I have never tried Sriracha on them. Got to try this. Thanks for the inspiration.

Maple Walnut ice cream from Christinas in Boston. Blood Orange sorbet from Ciao Bella.

Ditto on the pp who mentioned Publix ice cream. It's awesome! I recently made butterscotch ice cream. In fact. I'm going to finish it off RIGHT NOW.
What's Your Favorite Ice Cream Flavor
Homemade strawberry ice-cream-although I recently made a great coconut ice-cream http://chocolateandcroissants.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html#5812076674809242402

On second thought I wonder why you "need to convince my spouse that "fancy" flavored ice cream." Let your spouse stick to the basics. Nothing wrong with that.
What's Your Favorite Ice Cream Flavor
Ben and Jerry's Karamel Sutra -- amazing dark chocolate ice cream on one side, very subtle caramel ice cream on the other, and a core of divine gooey caramel stuff. Perfect mixture of tastes.
On the other hand, worth going to Emack and Bolio on 78th and Amsterdam for Cosmic Crunch -- vanilla, I think, with chocolate chunks and pieces of ice cream cone, and maybe some kind of nut -- can't remember, but it's great -- especially with their sublime hot fudge sauce...
What's Your Favorite Ice Cream Flavor
if you are in texas, anything by blue bell is wonderful.....my faves are key lime pie, mint choc chip and banana pudding. If you are in the Dallas area, try Milwalkee Joe's ice cream parlors..."Grandma Fred's New York Cheesecake" will change your life!
What's Your Favorite Ice Cream Flavor
@Embackus - Yes it is indeed a newer flavor and oh so good. I love Kopp's and don't know what I would ever do without them. Their German Apple Struesel is awesome too. We are getting into our ethnic fesitivals season here and Kopps' now runs their Festival of Flavors to correspond with those. This weekend is Polish Fest and on Friday they have Kolacki Custard. I had it last year and it was really, really good. Methinks I'm going to have to get a pint of it this year!

The flavor is not as important as the texture and consistency. Visit an Indian restaurant or grocery and treat yourself to some cardamom-inflected kulfi. Once you try it, you'll never settle for Ben and/or Jerry again!
Are America’s Best Croissants in Princeton, New Jersey?
I WAS a big Patisserie Claude fan until, last fall, he began to lose interest. The butter was too warm in the layering/laminating so the croissants often were a smooth dough, instead of a flaky pastry. Then he left and Pablo took over and the problem increased. Last week I went by and Claude was there, but just on a visit, and I'll be damned if the croissants and pain au chocolat weren't even more substantially changed. Not a hint of ferment in the dough. I am afraid that the time of Claude's reign is over.
Does anyone know of a good, honest, perhaps boulanger-, as opposed to pattisier, style croissant in Manhattan?

This is fabulous news--croissants here in Princeton! The rest of the food here is B-A-D, even for a college town.

I've been going to Little Chef since it opened, it's awesome to see it getting recognition here on Serious Eats. Pouchon is so nice and everything he makes is to die for!!!
