Serious Eats: Warren Bobrow's Profile

Cook the Book: 'Canal House Cooking Volume No. 6'

I was in Rome with my parents. Staying at the Hassler Hotel, at the top of the Spanish Steps. The windows were open and I heard the voice of an angel- a young voice calling out to all who were listening about the beautiful foods to be enjoyed on the steps below the hotel.

I had only a few lire in my pocket, just enough to taste some figs as they glistened in the morning light. Sumptuous and spicy as if they had been dusted in hot chili paste before handing a few to me.
The flavor of fresh figs have stayed in my palate for decades.

8 Summer Cocktails from The Spotted Pig in NYC

I sat next to Ryan at the bar formerly known as Painkiller (now PKNY) in NYC. I think he was doing cocktail research. At least it was Tiki Bar research. Cheers!

The Four High End Steaks You Should Know

I want nothing more than a grass fed, 28 day aged Ribeye Steak from Hoeffner's in Morristown, NJ. USDA Prime.
Cooked over natural charcoal on my ancient Weber grill.

Cheers!

Char No. 4: Bourbon, Barbecue, And Pork In Cobble Hill

I just published an article called Billy Reid: Bourbon, Branch and Southern History. We tasted 3 Bourbon, the oldest was 1952, the youngest was 1957. All made by men long gone. There was locally sourced Branch that made its way into my hands soon thereafter the tasting. A sweet reminder of times gone past in a glass. cheers! wb

Dallas BBQ: Boldly Going Where No Other Food Writer Has Gone Before

Chain food is not slow food. Even if it does say BBQ.

Who Are Your Favorite Farmers at Farmers' Markets?

I grew up on a certified organic/biodynamic farm-food just tastes better when you grow it in conjunction with the balance of the earth.

We have a responsibility to do well by where we live.

The delicacy that is SWEET TEA

The delicacy of Sweet Tea compliments the savory nature of a Tuna Melt. preferably one prepared on a hot summers day in Charleston, South Carolina.

Anyone crazy for chocolate and red wine?

a Pedro Ximinez sherry from Spain along with a piece of single origin bittersweet chocolate is my idea of heaven!

Do you have a recipe you won't share?

Years ago I worked as a private chef in New York City. It was an exciting enough job-as I got to see inside many really fantastic townhouses and apartments-belonging to some of the wealthiest families in the world. One client in particular stood out. The agency didn't tell me, but as I found out later, the client was Leona Helmsley. I replied to an ad from the NYTimes. She wanted a new chef, someone to run her NY kitchens and follow her around, making sure she was well fed. It seemed like something I would have enjoyed doing had she received what she wanted from me on paper and NEVER RECEIVED-my great grandmother's matzo ball recipe. She had put in the ad that the applicant prepare their best matzo ball recipe and give it to the "taster".
She demanded, as only Leona could demand and did not get. I did not get the job either! No great loss to me.
