Momofuku Noodle Bar's Fried Chicken Dinner

I would like to see a naked emperor, I think that would be neat and a good anecdote to share over fried chicken of any provenance and expense.

Weekend Cook and Tell: Unsung Heros of the Kitchen

I like to unbalance a traditional ragu by increasing the celery ratio - the results are kind of American-Chinese tasting and excellent with a cab franc.

Weekend Cook and Tell: Too Hot

I made a salad of pickles, kim chee, cucumber, radish and tofu, dressed in sesame oil and hot sauce and topped with a raw egg yolk. I still got all sweaty anyway.

Yikes, "chinatown dumps." let's splurge on the extra 4 letters.

Cook the Book: 'Mrs. Rowe's Little Book of Southern Pies'

Mrs Rowes rules.

I made rice crispy treats for friends but never killed the heat after melting the marshmallows - I cooked the hell out of the whole combination as I incorporated everything, sort of a high heat caramel stir fry bast soft ball, hard ball and even all the way to hard crack stage). As a result as they cooled they got harder and harder and harder too hard for anyone to eat, except for us, as we were 12 year old boys.

Weekend Cook and Tell: Play Sommelier

Since we can’t due something pricey, like a early 90’s Chinon paired with cheese-steaks I am going with a summery cheap white pairing of a Broadbent Vinho Verde. Vinho Verde is perhaps the most well know of Portuguese wines, the green in the name refers to its youth, not color. Like any good summer drink Vinho Verde is cheap (maybe 10 bucks for the Broadbent) and a little sparklingly (more prickle than bubble). While I would and do drink it with anything (especially ice and Campari) I would suggest paring it with a classic food of both summer and Portugal: clams. Also let’s do them with a hibachi at a beach park (east river park off Kent in Williamsburg – get there early).

Bring 1 dozen small good clams, a little olive oil, sea salt, pepper, a lemon and small baguette (pack the olive oil, salt, pepper and parsley in jam jar if you like – you can put the wine in a travel thermos too). Chop your herbs, slice lemons, combine in jam jar with salt, pepper and half the lemon and some olive oil - open wine. Get your fire hot, post flame but not white ash stage. Put the clams on a grate right above it – listen to them go nuts – after they open drizzle oil, salt, pepper, lemon and parsley mixture/dressing this will flame up (who cares?) wait one more minute then remove, (discard any clams which didn’t open) dress with reminder of dressing, rip up bread to serve along side and enjoy with the wine. Yeah you could also grill chorizo with this if you want, but then make sure to bring another bottle or two.

This will be interesting just to see what wines cost what where and for that matter what is available where...

Restaurant Naming Problems

seriously Poultrygeist? Squat and Gobble?

What about just "Thyme" thyme implies both savory and eatery, thus you could cut them... and thyme is clearly a restaurant...


great thread, very interesting

Weekend Cook and Tell: Food Souvenirs

I just picked up a fancy trotter from Flying Pigs Farm and I'm going to try and make a version of beans with it based on a lunch I had in Bogota last summer. I looked up recipes but the top hit was for "Klingon Soup" so I might have to call me girlfriend.
