Who makes the best pickle plate in NYC?

The Queens Kickshaw in Astoria offers a Miso-Mustard Pickle plate, which actually comes in a mason jar, and has carrots, parsnips I believe, and some other veggie, as well as two pickled quail eggs. A cute little appetizer before some grilled cheese goodness. Also, the remaining liquid in the bottom of that jar may or may not have had a grilled cheese dipped into it....

Cook the Book: 'One Big Table'

i'd have to say macaroni and cheese because not only is it a comfort food most americans identify with, but there are so many possible variations on the dish based on vegetables or protein you can put in, spices, herbs, and different cheeses. my personal favorite "american" food :)

in the spring and summer i love making fruit crumbles rather than pastries and cakes, it just seems appropriate

Video: Making of a Sacher Torte

Here at SE we've been known to mindlessly scarf down a hamburger or two, but that doesn't mean that we don't think that food can be a form of art. One look at the beautiful work of our own cake and sandwich recipe developer-food stylist Maria Del Mar Sacasa is all you need to know what we're talking about. Check out this video of the making of a Sacher Torte— it's as beautifully orchestrated as a ballet, but much more delicious. More

The mainstays include: lamb, skyr, potatoes, fish, and other seafood. A lot of seafood. Here's a primer for anyone visiting Iceland or wondering, what do they eat up there? More

Torrisi Italian Specialties, NYC: 20-Course $125 Tasting Menu That Manages To Be Flat-Out Fun

Fun is usually not the first thing that comes to mind when I think of tasting menus. Expensive? For sure. Exciting? I hope so. Tasty? Better be. Show-offy? Often. So when I went to Torrisi Italian Specialties for Rich Torrisi's freshly designed $125 twenty-course tasting menu, I couldn't help but wonder: could the chef's characteristic sense of humor make such a marathon meal a fun experience?
