The Bitter End

I think a little Angostura Bitters on the rocks is pretty tasty. Try it!

Dinner Tonight: Pork Chops Braised in Hard Cider

Simple & effective braising recipes like this are always a winner. You can easily replace the hard cider with an amber ale or lager or a punchy Riesling or Gewürztraminer to mix it up as well.

America's Best Hot Dog Town: Cast Your Vote

Another vote for Buffalo here. When you have a well-grilled (charcoal only!), good quality hot dog on a fresh roll, there's no need to pile a pickled salad on top of it.

What's Your Go-To Weekday Breakfast?

Peanut Butter (natural, unsweetened) and Nutella sandwich on whole wheat with strong black coffee. Food of the gods...

The Bitter End

Lately I've been obsessed with Wine based Amaros and Quinquinas like Barolo Chinato.

These things are so cool, delicious, and complex, especially after dinner.

I second the opinion on Hot Doug's. Absolutely a must stop place, especially when they have the French Fries cooked in duck fat. *Sorry, I'm salivating on my keyboard*. Rabbit hot dogs with blueberrys and creme fraiche. Worth the wait.

Next time you're in Katz's get a pastrami sandwich AND a hot dog. Just take half the pastrami sandwich home.

Pink's hot dog in LA is, by far, the best hot dog I've ever eaten. I was in Kat'z last night but I didn't try their dogs. They looked tempting but that pastrami is too hard to forgo.

Dude!

Thanks for recognizing Lafayette and Athens Coney Island restaurants in downtown Detroit, but, really, you can't disqualify the D because we dress up our dogs with chili sauce, onions and mustard.

It's not fair. Thousands of the dogs we serve up at the hundred of Coney Island restaurants in Coney Detroit are home-grown Koegel's and Dearborn dogs.

It is just wrong to kick us to the curb because we embellish our dogs. There is hardly anyone who doesn's add a slash of mustard or a slide of pickle.

Our Coneys are so popular that in upstate New York and parts of Ontario, similar concoctions are called "Michigans." There is one loud, proud vote for Detroit's dogs.

Amazing Hot Dog is just one of many fine places in North Jersey. In my previous post, I only named a few. Amazing does use a natural casing Best, and has the widest array of toppings I've seen at a hot dog establishment. Personally, I prefer just a good deli mustard on a quality all beef dog, in order to enjoy the flavor and spices of the dog itself, though sometimes I have one with chili. I do prefer the other sizes (long and thin) of the Best dog to the thick quarter pounder at Amazing. Jerry's in Elizabeth makes a great dog. Eight to a lb natural casing Best that is boiled then finished off on a grill. It is snappy, fresh and delicious.

For German style dogs prepared on a grill, Galloping Hill Inn, Karl Ehmer's cart, and the Weenie Wagon (grilled Thumann's) are three of the best.

Can't believe that North Jersey got such a long post without any mention of Amazing Hot Dog in Verona! The most creative toppings ever, fantastic hand-cut fries, and they're using Best's all-beef dogs (out of Newark). www.amazinghotdog.com

What's Your Go-To Weekday Breakfast?

You guys need to grow up. Wow, yogurt and toast, I'm sure the highlight of your week is going out for a wine cooler with your coworkers.

I'll usually pop a couple biscuits in the oven, then slice up a potato and get that going with olive oil in a pan. After a while I add onion, red or yellow bell pepper, and garlic. Plate up the potatoes then top the biscuits with a fried egg and a couple slices of American cheese.

After a breakfast like that I'm all set to be bored at work for 8 hours and not get hungry till dinner time.

Cheerios with 1% milk and a sliced banana or an egg sandwich made with a multigrain light english muffin, with a little reduced fat mexican blend shredded cheese melted on top.

Two skinless, sriracha-coated chicken legs from the econo-pak I roast on Sundays. Old Weight Watchers trick.
