Seriously Delicious Holiday Food Giveaway: Russ & Daughters

Every day through January 1 we're giving away a crazy good food item on Serious Eats. Try your luck, and if you win, you'll be eating some seriously delicious food come the new year.

20071129russanddaughters.jpgToday's Seriously Delicious Holiday Food Giveaway is a New York Nostalgia package from Russ & Daughters.

I've known Russ & Daughters' Mark Federman and his family ever since I came to New York 32 years ago. When I knew very few people here I used to come to Russ & Daughters to kibitz and just feel like I belonged somewhere. It's a place I still visit for shelter from any storm—and for the company and the Russ family's incredible food. They know smoked fish like very few other people in this world.

The package includes: one pound of Gaspé Atlantic smoked salmon, a half-pound of sliced smoked sable, one pint house-cured herring fillets in cream sauce with pickled onions, one pound of natural cream cheese with chive, eight authentic New York bagels, one pound of old-fashioned rugelach, and a piece of old-fashioned marble halvah. Ed Levine

To win, just answer this in the comments below: What's your favorite New York brunch food?

PS: If you just can't wait for this contest to be over and want to order now from Russ & Daughters, we have a special Serious Eats promo code you can use for a 10 percent discount. Just mention SERIOUSRUSS when ordering on the phone (not applicable to online orders). Visit russanddaughters.com for phone numbers.

You have until 3 p.m. ET tomorrow (December 18) to enter. One winner will be chosen at random from among the commenters. Contest winners are limited to residents of the continental U.S., and you can only win once during the duration of the Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway contest. The standard Serious Eats contest rules apply.

I'm a Connecticut native who visited New York often as a kid. I was there often as an adult but the food nostalgia comes from my childhood. This was for my family the way to celebrate so we'd head there and go to the theater, the ballet, the symphony (Lennie!) and do all the tourist stuff. I'm not a native, though I live with one who still pines for pastrami sammiches, knishes, all those things (they're not common where we live now) but what I crave from New York, besides a Shirley Temple at the Rainbow Room (while mom and dad had whisky sours) is, alas, cheesecake. Plain perfect, nothing in it or on it from Sardi's. Thank you very much. No chocolate, no sauce. Of all the greats that come to mind - the BEST bagels in the world, all the deli meats, the herring, the onion rolls, it's that pure pristine amazing slice of cheesecake for me.
