The burgers, fries, everything at Le Parket Meridin. The line is usually long but it moves quickly. Best to go with another person so someone snags a table and someone waits in line. Not many choices but so what? You are there for the burger anyway.
I am hungry thinkig about one.....
Enjoy!
sushi wabi on Randolph is delicious-has traditional and some excellent "different" types of sushi-it is small so you may have to wait.
I did like the meatballs as well but thought the sauce was a bit weak and I really LOVE Ina and her recipes and shows. I think that if you used San Marzano tomatoes, it might be more tasty. It is surprising that Ina didn't suggest this herself as she always goes the extra yard for special ingredients.
TRU is one of the best meals we have ever had but I have to warn you also one of the most expensive which includes a trip to Charlie Trotter's!! The setting is beautiful along with the people. I agree-lots of food and they bring around a dessert trolley at the end with all kinds of homemade delicious goodies!
Alina is fairly new-we have not been there but I believe it was ranked the number one restaurant last year by Gourmet. I think it has a very earthy healthy type menu if I remember correctly.
Italian Village???? Are you kidding me? With all the fantastic restaurants in Chicago, that has to be at the bottom along with Rosebud's. They are well known touristy type of restaurants-sort of like Mama Leone's used to be in New York. Same with Pizzeria Uno-we have several here too!
Good to know about Webers and the dim sum places-thanks for those tips as Chicago happens to be one of our FAVORITE cities!!!
Le Colonial is also very good up on Rush I believe. Also for sushi, Sushi Wabi on Randolph can't be beat!!!
Enjoy-I am very jealous!
Thank goodness-she is SOOOO overdone!!! Last time I looked, she had at least 3 tv shows and about 5 magazines to say nothing of her endorsements. She is incredibly obnoxious and very taken with her "culilnary" abilities (or should I say lack of them???). I am convinced that her along with much of the Food Network is just entertainment and those who watch do just that watch and never step foot in the kitchen to try any of this!
Hi-I tried Nancy Silverton's recipe and have come to the conclusion that the best choc chip cookies are made only with brown sugar. Ones with white sugar or a combination just don't get that browned look. So, I offer up my recipe which is so old, I don't remember where it came from.
2 1/4 cup triple sifted flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup unsalted butter, room temp
1 c brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp water
1 egg
3 cups chocolate chips
Combine butter, sugar, vanilla, and water and beat until fluffy. Mix in the egg. Sift dry ingredients and add to butter mixture. Stir in chocolate chips. Line cookies sheets with foil shiny side up. Drop dough onto cookie sheets by the tablespoon. Bake at 375 for 10-12 mins or until browned. Cool for a few minutes on the sheets before removing to cooling rack.
Enjoy-the dough is great even unbaked!!! I also sometimes drop them on cookie sheets, freeze them and put them in bags in the freezer.
These chocolate chip breakfast cookies are the most awsome cookies I have ever tasted, I am not a big chocolate chip cookie fan (maybe because I never found a recipe I liked!) I made these and now we can't stop making them! my husband me and my 5 kids are addicted to them. I always make a double batch. I think something about melting the butter and adding the brown sugar to it makes it taste like nothing I have ever tasted in a cookie. you can even over cook them and they still taste incredible! I will never use another chocolate chip cookie recipe.
I think the best is the Nieman Marcus recipe that circulates around sometimes---with the ground up oatmeal & chopped milk chocolate in addition to the semi sweet chips, brown sugar, etc. Scoop onto lightly sprayed pans, wet fingers & mash down slightly. If baked right they are the quinticential perfect crunchy around the outside, softer/slightly chewy in the middle.
I use Meg's recipe, slightly adapted for my sanity (I converted everything to weights and then rounded things up or down to make my life easier). You know what? It really is a mean chocolate chip cookie.
I have my own recipe, devised to have my favorite aspects of chocolate chip cookies: a little chew, a little crunch, and just enough chocolate.
Of course, that doesn't mean that I don't want to try every recipe I come across just in case they're better. I suspect everyone has a touch of the grass-is-greener mentality when it comes to cookies.
I've never found a recipe that works better than the Toll House classic.
The breakfast cookie sounds great, but instead of cranberries, I'd do dried cherries. Cherries & chocolate? Wow!
I have been making Ina's Spaghetti & Meatballs for a few years and there is nothing better. Personally, if you really watch Ina, she is very percise on every measurement and very matter of fact of how she cooks. She wants it to taste perfect. I have read where she will make the same recipe 20-30 times a day until she gets it right. Do you really think the Yummo woman does that??? I think not!!! Ina takes her cooking very serious and I think she is one of the best stars the FoodNetwork has.
Anyone try Tia Harrison's "The Perfect" Chocolate Chip Cookies from CHOW?
Alton Brown's the Chewy. Best. Cookies. Ever.
-Shake Shack is great. I think there is too much garlic in the meat, but that's me.
-I also like PJ Clarks (UES).
-People say the Corner Bistro in the W. Village is the spot.
-I eat regularly at Burger in Chelsea and think it's pretty good. I think their turkey burgers are better than their regular beef burgers. And to whomever likes their veggie burgers, FYI: they use Dr. Preger's frozen patties. So, if you like them, you can buy them yourself too.
-My favorite burger joint is Dumont Burger on Bedford in Williamsburg.
