Mixed Review: Vosges Caramel Toffee Chocolate Chunk Brownies

that pic makes the brownies look raw/underbaked -- NOT a selling point. gross.

ABC Kitchen: Team Jean-Georges Goes Local

It is great that the restaurant is focusing on locally sourced food... Jean Georges and ABC are an interesting combo - why not serve good food in a high priced,decadent store - great surrounding. Can't hurt... I am sure in time the kitchen will work out the kinks - hope that they keep the passion for high quality, local ingredients - or at least American ingredients.... good luck

Alton Brown's diet

I have not seen the sandwich or read anything about the new regimen or why he lost weight, but I did notice he looked thin - too thin. It is a little dramatic and if you notice his neck it appears gaunt and as if he is recovering or ill. I think that being on television effected how he views himself - if you look back at his early shows you see a guy that is neither too thin or fat - he put on a fair amount of weight during feasting on asphalt - but the pendulum has swung back the other way. I hope he can find a balance and enjoy food and not just seek to be extremely healthy and therefore an unhealthy appearance.

What is your fantasy food business?

OPTION ONE: Develop my own snack food company that creates gluten free, sugar free and straight delicious, updated snack cakes.
OPTION TWO: A retail bakery for to-go business with an afternoon tea salon, and an open kitchen that will serve as a pastry bar 3 nights of the week as a dessert bar.

NYC - Manhattan's Best Chocolalte Chip Cookie?

I have eaten the chocolate chip cookies at city bakery's "green" bakery - i believe it is called Birdbath. They were pretty good and BIG. There is also a cookie shop in the west village called milk and cookies which does a good job, too. Jaques Torres makes a good chocolate chip, too, and in the summer or warmer months he uses them to make and ice cream sandwich. The only other place I would buy a cookie is Two Little Red Hens on the UES - they also make a choclate crinkle cookie which is great, too.
