Looking for pizza sauce recipe

The omission of garlic is ESSENTIAL to pizza sauce taste. The garlic is what makes it taste like pasta sauce.

Tomatoes, olive oil, basil, and salt. That's it. As said above, it cooks on the dough.

@cdp1223: Thanks! I will give them a shot. I'll probably just grab them from online somewhere.

Michael Ruhlman on Butchering a Whole Pig

If Ruhlman is referring to West Palm in Florida, then he is showing a complete lack of familiarity with the state. My cousins raise hogs in their back yards not too far north and west of Palm Beach county.

Dim Sum in New York

This question will be the subject of a long discussion, but I go to Golden Harmony on Mott, half a block north of Canal st.

goat cheese. stinky or tasty?

I can't believe no one has pointed out that Cevre means GOAT. It is not a type of goat cheese.

My Head Is Going to Explode: NYT Links to WSJ

What on earth is your point? The NYT business section is crap anyway. If the Dining section directly linked to an editorial in the WSJ, there might be a story worth blogging about.

Singaporean Street Vendors Travel 9,500 Miles to Showcase Street Cuisine

I wish I had known about this. I actually did grow up in Singapore, so unlike ed, I wouldn't have had to feign ex-expat status.

Campo: Does Morningside Heights Finally Have A Good Contemporary Italian Restaurant?

EatinginTranslation: yes! I live on 110th and Broad, and walk up to eat at Pisticci at least once a week (or once every two) and it is excellent. It's a little north, but Ed, so are Max Soha and Sezz Medi.

Morningside Heights Recommendation for Saturday

Yeah, that is north of the (m) heights. If you want to come down a bit, there's Pisticci on LaSalle (approx 124) and Broadway. Excellent hidden italian neighbourhood joint, I go there once per week.

Community Food and Juice is a relatively new place between 112/113 on Broadway - it does a really nice brunch and has injected a new standard into the neighbourhood. Bistro Le Monde on the same block is pretty good.

Kitchenette on amsterdam/122 is great for breakfast,brunch. Very homey.

Upper East Side eats?

Uva on 2nd between 78/77 is pretty good italian. Simple, but the service can be spotty every once in a while.

2 days in SF/NYC

Skip wd-50 and go to Shopsins. Kidding! Wait, actually, only a little, not much.

SFO- boulevard, slanted door, michael mina
NYC - gotham bar/grill, EMP, cru, blue hill (+SB), hearth, lupa are some of my go to favourites.

eh, I am sure I'll get slammed but wd-50 is just not one of my favourites. It's great once, but not somewhere I keep going back.

Fish tacos...what makes them authentic?

or "delicioso." Mahi mahi is a great bet for an excellent fish taco. Wow - hungry just reading this thread.

Anthony Bourdain, I AM NOT SOUTHERN

New Orleans was not the only exception by any means - he flipped out over the food in Hawai'i - deservedly so. As did he in the border region of Texas and southwest. Bourdain knows where the good food is - period.

ShotPak: Controversial and Convenient Booze

These are pretty interesting, but a bottle of whisk(e)y is much more appropriate.

Who cares if they are enticing to underage drinkers. It's not the fun packaging that enticed me to drink when I was a teenager, it was that getting drunk is fun. No one cares what package it comes in be it a can of natty ice or a bottle of Evan Williams at that age.
