Where should I eat in NYC?

Since you'll be up in the Columbia area, I highly recommend Hamilton Deli, which was downstairs from the b-school - I used to go there all the time & get the Lewinsky, it's addictive & cheap.

Watch It with Us: 'Top Chef Las Vegas,' Ep. 12

Went to a top chef event tonight and Kevin was gracious (Padma as well.)

It was funny to watch Kevin laugh when Michael made his conceited, overblown comments. Completely gracious.

Gavin was there and when Kevin disagreed with his comments they both looked at each other and laughed...adorable. Even before I had met him, I had hoped Kevin would win it all!

dinner in NYC

If you'll be here with your daughter during the week - it might be nice to try out Convivio while they are running this deal...

dinner in NYC

I third Scarpetta but Lupa or Babbo are pretty awesome - I would say skip Otto...I've been to Hearth and didn't love it but have had other friends who have raved...so it might just be me...

How to Make Kimbap

Kimbap is one of my favs too! Although I'm horrible at rolling it...
@engmcmuffin: In Korea, they have a ton of different "flavors" or I guess fillings...I started to see the cheese rage in the early 90's where places started adding cheese to everything: kim bap, ramen, etc. Tuna has always been a staple filling, as has kimchi, etc., but (and others may disagree with me) cheese I feel was added to give it a 'western' flair and yes, it's usually of a processed variety.

best spots for nyc restaurant week?

I went to Morimoto for lunch & I know that ordering sea bass is not politically correct, but daxx that dish was amazing - and for $24.07 with an appetizer and dessert - it was a bargain!

'Top Chef Masters,' Episode 2: The 'Lost' Dinner

and I agree - I love TCM way more than TCO (my vote) because of the element of fun rivalry! These chefs come across as so much fun and nice. Leaves a much better taste in my mouth...

'Top Chef Masters,' Episode 2: The 'Lost' Dinner

Choi is not vapid - I was friends w/her when I was younger, met her in Korea- she's intelligent, well-spoken and when I knew her very sweet with a good heart and I don't ever remember thinking she didn't eat. (I tend to eat a lot so I'm aware when others don't.)

I understand where the comments are coming from - she does come across as cold in this show, which is a shame but I also thought she wasn't allowed to give comments based upon the first show where she did eat the food with the judges but then immediately turned to the others and asked for feedback.

Just wanted to give my two cents...and disclaimer: I'm not even friends w/her now - we lost touch, I'm just saying I knew her back before and she was extremely humble and very nice...

Illy Espresso Machine Giveaway from 'Edible Brooklyn'

Even though not exactly a coffee shop - the Westville coffee (from Westvill) is one of my favorites!
