Burger King's New Breakfast Menu

Word a89hernandez, not serious, only vaguely eats - if people think standing up against factory food and the destruction of local food ways and culture is elitist then they can enjoy their croissants, ciabattas sun-dried tomato aioli and other salt of the earth fare in their idling sedans.

Wine CSAs: Community Supported Alcohol

Kaszeta that sounds ideal. For those of us who live in places where grapes are too young or too foxy for much decent wine production (really a big chunk of the US) cider seems like a excellent traditional option.

Wine Pairings with Thai Food

Cabernet? Which one? I assume he meant Sauvignon. I suppose we should be happy he didn't recommend a "Cab." I don't mean to be pedantic but maybe SE could treat wine with the same degree of respect and "seriousness" which it shows to burgers, pizza and ice cream.

Cook the Book: Frankies' Meatballs

Mogey you are right and therefore actually superior, so if you sound that way it is a-ok, it is not your vault that there are a lot of provincial types commenting.

The whole cook book makes me hungry and I've never even been to Frankies' (which is weird).

Cook the Book: Lobster Rolls

I can never seem to remember why I dislike Massachusetts so. Oh right - now I remember. Don't you people have a school bus to tip over or a women to stone?

Pulino's: The Nation's First Breakfast Pizzeria

"They're not the only breakfast pizzas in town, to be sure. But with the extent of their menu and the novelty of their creations, they're clearly taking it seriously."

Weekend Cook and Tell: Unsung Heros of the Kitchen

I like to unbalance a traditional ragu by increasing the celery ratio - the results are kind of American-Chinese tasting and excellent with a cab franc.

Weekend Cook and Tell: Too Hot

I made a salad of pickles, kim chee, cucumber, radish and tofu, dressed in sesame oil and hot sauce and topped with a raw egg yolk. I still got all sweaty anyway.

Cook the Book: 'Mrs. Rowe's Little Book of Southern Pies'

Mrs Rowes rules.

I made rice crispy treats for friends but never killed the heat after melting the marshmallows - I cooked the hell out of the whole combination as I incorporated everything, sort of a high heat caramel stir fry bast soft ball, hard ball and even all the way to hard crack stage). As a result as they cooled they got harder and harder and harder too hard for anyone to eat, except for us, as we were 12 year old boys.

Weekend Cook and Tell: Play Sommelier

Since we can’t due something pricey, like a early 90’s Chinon paired with cheese-steaks I am going with a summery cheap white pairing of a Broadbent Vinho Verde. Vinho Verde is perhaps the most well know of Portuguese wines, the green in the name refers to its youth, not color. Like any good summer drink Vinho Verde is cheap (maybe 10 bucks for the Broadbent) and a little sparklingly (more prickle than bubble). While I would and do drink it with anything (especially ice and Campari) I would suggest paring it with a classic food of both summer and Portugal: clams. Also let’s do them with a hibachi at a beach park (east river park off Kent in Williamsburg – get there early).

Bring 1 dozen small good clams, a little olive oil, sea salt, pepper, a lemon and small baguette (pack the olive oil, salt, pepper and parsley in jam jar if you like – you can put the wine in a travel thermos too). Chop your herbs, slice lemons, combine in jam jar with salt, pepper and half the lemon and some olive oil - open wine. Get your fire hot, post flame but not white ash stage. Put the clams on a grate right above it – listen to them go nuts – after they open drizzle oil, salt, pepper, lemon and parsley mixture/dressing this will flame up (who cares?) wait one more minute then remove, (discard any clams which didn’t open) dress with reminder of dressing, rip up bread to serve along side and enjoy with the wine. Yeah you could also grill chorizo with this if you want, but then make sure to bring another bottle or two.
