Kefalograviera & Saganaki
2009-09-23 15:09:00 Kefalograviera is a hard sheep’s milk cheese from Greece, not as hard as Parmigiano-Reggiano, and a tad drier than most cheddars. It’s a salty snackable cheese, perfect with crackers or fruit, and just as addictive eaten alone. It’s right in that very middle of strong enough to stand out but mild enough for any beginner, ...

Okra Succotash
2009-09-22 15:05:00 Any time okra comes up in conversation, it seems that half the crowd will scrunch their nose, the other half will jump up in excitement. I’m not sure if I’m the only one who doesn’t fall into either boat, but I eat it when it’s there and I could easily do without it. I understand ...

Peaches ?N Cream Pie
2009-09-21 14:45:00 There’s a couple of things that lead to the making of this pie. One, I’ve been wanting one of those ceramic deep dish pie plates for a long time, the ones with the ruffled edges. They look so modern country, new yet classic. Unfortunately, it was $44 at Williams Sonoma so I tried to forget ... Related posts:Sour Cream Lemon Cupcakes More About: Desserts , Peaches
San Francisco 2009
2009-09-20 06:28:00 San Francisco was the last stop on our mini tour of California. We were staying in The Mission at Vinnie and Kristine’s place, the most perfect place to stay because Philz Coffee (multi-locational) is just around the corner. I first tried Philz coffee two years ago, when I was in San Francisco for the Nike ... Related posts:San Francisco Coffee More About: Travel , Restaurants , San Francisco
Green Market Beans with Free Range Duck Eggs
2009-09-18 20:17:00 When you do a 10 day eating tour, you come home feeling a bit plump, rather bloated, and maybe a little unhealthy. Lon did not gain a pound, while I came home 3 to 4 pounds heavier. The first thing I did Monday was hit the Farmer’s Market in search of a healthy meal to ...

The French Laundry Was Not Everything I Dreamed it Would Be
2009-09-17 19:09:00 This post is extremely difficult to write, and I do it with great sadness. I don’t even remember how long I’ve been waiting to go to The French Laundry 6640 Washington Street, Yountville, CA 94599, often named as the best restaurant in the United States. It’s pretty difficult to get reservations, which ... Related posts:New Croque-Monsieur: Gruyere and Smoked Ham on Challah French Toast More About: Travel , Restaurants
Ground Husk Cherry Tomatoes
2009-09-16 20:49:00 Don’t worry, I’m still going to post my review on The French Laundry, but I discovered these Ground Husk Cherry Tomatoes on Monday, right after getting back from California, and I just can’t wait to post this anymore. These are the best things since sliced bread, the coolest farmer’s market discovery, the bomb diggity! These are ... Related posts:Slow Roasted Tomatoes More About: Shopping , Basics
Midtown Lunch Meet-Up at Bombay Eats

Yank Sing
2009-09-15 16:10:00 Yank Sing 101 Spear Street, San Francisco, CA 94105 was a mind blowing experience for us. Good Chinese food with good service just doesn’t happen in New York. It’s something I’m not accustomed to, and for the first few minutes, it was awkward. They had my reservation and seated us promptly, handing ...

Manresa
2009-09-14 16:17:00 We arrived in Los Gatos early on purpose, so that we could have gelato at Dolce Spazio 221 North Santa Cruz Avenue, Los Gatos , CA 95030, then walk around town. Their gelato does not taste like gelato at all which was a bit disappointing for us but soon forgotten when we ... Related posts:En Japanese Brasserie
Brunch at Sarabeth's
2007-06-30 23:29:00 I had brunch at Sarabeth's Sarabeth's (East) with a great group of TNT-ers today after our Saturday morning run. I had dinner at the UWS location Sarabeth's (West) a couple of years ago and was quite disappointed. The brunch was much better which make sense since that is what Sarabeth's is known for. As soon as you're seated, coffee comes around and is constantly refilled (same with water). I More About: Brunch , Brun , Beth , Arab

Chickpea
2007-06-28 15:06:00 Chickpea Chickpea is more expensive than your average falafel & shawarma joint. Some of their products are worth it and some aren't. Here's what you should and shouldn't get: Order: Falafels - Different people prefer different sized falafel balls. These are the smaller ones and very fried but well flavored and seasoned. Pitas -They make their own. Super fresh! Sauces - The tahina sauce and hot
Dead Sodas
2007-06-28 12:45:00 Matt at x-entertainment compiled a brief list of notable, dead sodas. Reading the list certainly provided a quick flashback. How many have you had? I think I tasted most of these, except the tropical Pepsi flavors. More recently, Matt posted about the summer line up of notable flavors, including Pepsi Summer Mix (which I hadn't heard of) and Diet Coke Plus, which one co-worker frequently drinks.

Hellmann's 'Real Food' Series
2007-06-27 19:31:00 In in a moment of genius, the boys over at Ogilvy & Mather have come up with a show that is all about mayonnaise! It's Hellmann's 'Real Food ' Serie s and I want to eat every last bite of it! Or perhaps you didn't read my bio? Sadly, the show is not really going to be all about mayo, as good as that sounds.

Primehouse, Coming Fall 2007
2007-06-27 15:22:00 Recently Jessica and I have become more respectful of B.R. Guest Restaurants. Particularly since our Barça 18 review. We've realized there is a specific niche in the NYC restaurant price spectrum for B.R. Guest, they seem to acknowledge that spot and fill it perfectly! The formula includes, decently good service, decently good food, generally attractive and usually modern decor, a well stocked More About: Ouse , Fall , Prime , Ming , Rime
Godiva's Chocoiste Line
2007-06-26 14:08:00 Last night we sampled a new product line from Godiva : Choco iste. The theme of the line is focusing on packaging yum yum for the tum tum of an individual (that's industry parlance for 'delectable'). For instance, an individual chocolate chip cookie, with rich chocolate laced over the top (half of which was available at the time I snapped the photo, at right, burp). That cookie was outstanding; More About: Line , Diva
FreshDirect TeleSpam!!
2007-06-26 13:37:00 FreshDire ct TeleSpamUgh! FreshDirect is getting desperate. Yesterday evening, we received a voicemail from FreshDirect's Sarah James, as you can hear in the message, she's part of their SPAM team!!

LU's PiMs
2007-06-25 01:57:00 Today we spent time at my sister's place, enjoying their brand new baby girl, Sabrina-- she's gorgeous! Less enjoyable though were the PiMs cookies we tried while there. They are a cracker-like cookie, topped with a half marshmallow/half-mousse-like concoction, and finally coated in chocolate. Sounds good, right? Wrong. Both Jessica and I did not enjoy them at all. The cookie was too dry, the
How many guys does it take to mess up pancakes?
2007-06-23 23:00:00 The answer is 3. We had lunch at 3 Guys , 3 Guys a diner with 3 locations, on the Upper East side. Lon ordered pancakes with scrambled eggs with cheese. The semi-warm pancakes were overcooked and far from fluffy. The cheese on the scrambled eggs had a really weird taste and we didn't continue eating it. I opted for a make-your-own omelet with tomato, spinach, and muenster cheese. It came out More About: Pancakes , Mess
Susie's Kitchen: Worst Deli in Manhattan

Subway Mayhem
2007-06-21 18:50:00 Remember the other day, when I thought I had discovered THE mayhem? I was wrong, that was nothin'!! Recently Subway started running an ad campaign for a super-stuffed sandwich.

Foie Gras Linked to Diseases
2007-06-20 21:26:00 For those of us who love foie gras (yum!), today Wikinews reports terrible news. A recent study links foie gras consumption with Alzheimer's, arthritis, diabetes, and other diseases. The article is a bit light on details, but generally I'm not too surprised, but sad.

Shake Shack's Edible Concrete

While Shake Shack Shake Shack was dubbed best burger by New York Magazine, it's the concretes (their name for a frozen custard blended with home-made mix-ins) that are the BEST!

There's been countless (useless) news stories on TV about how Todd Wilbur figured out the recipe for Pizza Hut or Krispy Kreme or Vitamin Water, and usually I forget about it.
