Rye in Williamsburg: When Good Restaurants Stop Short of Greatness

Nice review, I have been to Rye several times and agree with many of your points. There is one that I do take issue with, and that is about the cocktails. The Hemingway daiquiri & Jack Rose and two cocktails that have been around for a long time. I am wondering if somehow their execution went wrong, or you just don't like those cocktails. Some people just don't like the taste of Maraschino liquor, a key ingredient the Hemingway Daiquiri, or does their recipe use to much. Same with the Jack Rose, it is an very simple drink which I love to make. Does Rye use too much Grenadine, or do they use rose's(which I highly doubt), just saying it tasting like spiked fruit punch is to nonspecific for me, but that is coming from a bit of a cocktail nerd.

Milk chocolate for sure. And, hopefully, it's a truffle.

What a wonderful, and delicious, concept.

How Do We Save Starbucks?

I'll tell ya how....

Tell them to charge less then $5 for a frikkin' cup of joe with some syrup and milk.

Starbucks biggest problem is that, at best, it's a rip-off.
Why save it if I can't afford it?

Weekend Book Giveaway: 'The Amateur Gourmet'

Before mastering the art of basic pastry dough, I attempted a plum tart. I made the dough, thinking all was well-and-good, and put it in the fridge to chill. Then, I made the plum filling with fresh greenmarket plums. It looked, smelled, and tasted wickedly delicious. But, when the time came to assemble the thing...the dough was horrendeous.

I ended up trashing the whole thing and making a lousy plum cake.
Drat!

Cook the Book: 'Beard on Food'

My boyfriend Adam is my cooking inspiration. Since we moved in together, he has made me into a bonafide foodie. He cooks something exotic almost every night of the week, and his recipes are always taken from different sources and cultures. He has reinvented my palate and my way of approaching and enjoying food. I love him and, undoubtedly, what's for dinner tonight...
