Fish and Chips, at last

I’ve been looking for a good plate of Fish&Chips since I moved to NYC. Tonight, I beat the crap out of every place I’ve tried in in the last 7 years.

Little Branch: Rules

Why is it one of my favorite bars? These are the rules, as posted in the men’s bathroom: No name dropping; no star f**cking No hooting, hollering, shouting, or any unruly behavior No fighting, play fighting, or talking about fighting Do not linger outside the door… …be conscientious of our neighbors Do not bring anyone [...]

mac & cheese

I’ve had this on the brain for a few days… I think it’s time. You will need: 4tbsp butter 4tbsp flour 2 tbsp heavy cream 2 cups of milk 2 egg yolks about 1-1.5lb. of cheeses to taste A heavy bit of pancetta box-o-pasta (I like radiatore for this)

Texas Red and Rojo Tamales

Come with me, won’t you? 1cup flour, garlic salt, black pepper, parsley, 2lbs of cubed round.

Kobe Club – NY

The three things you need to know: Price – This is a big bill restaurant, and you need to be ready to drop a few notes on the meal you’re about to have. Getting In – The front door is massive and heavy, put some shoulder into it man! Dress – despite the cost, this isn’t formal, nor business, nay, not even business-friday.

When we walked in, I thought it was a club. The dark atmosphere and shafted lighting effectively give you a sense of exclusive anonymity. Our hostess greeted us as though we were old friends that had arrived for the party and led us down the crowded, seedy front bar and back into the main dining room. I was thankful that we walked past the area where 1000 swords hung from the ceiling, I was thankful that we passed the small dining room with the massive video display of a roaring fire. Our old friend led us instead to the rear of the restaurant that was something akin to the grotto from the playboy mansion, sans water.
