Now that Labor Day has come and gone, it’s time to put away your white shoes and rosé and move into black ankle boots and Lambrusco. If you’re not familiar with this slightly effervescent red wine from Emilia-Romagna, I suggest you make its acquaintance. It has much in common with…

Remember the news about Guenter Seeger closing his restaurant to relocate to a Michelin-friendly town? Seems a banker, a couple chefs and dedicated customers changed his mind. I’ve posted the charming story of the press release. . Read it all (to better compare and contrast to any subsequent news stories)…

Today snack is officially one year old and I think it’s aging quite well. More than 140 posts later I can say – I’m addicted to blogging, and am looking forward to the next 365 days. I’ll be pimping my snack with au courant accessories like the sound of snack…

Fall previews. The media has their lists out now of all the new restaurants opening this fall. But what are Gotham’s chefs excited about? What interests a chef is very different from what catches the eye of the press. Chefs get their information from the back channels of kitchen gossip,…

If my musings on Gourmet’s August supplement left you hungry for more…well now there is more. No it’s not a download of the pages, I already asked and that was nixed by the legal department. It’s podcasts with Ruth Reichl and the authors, online now and forever at Epicurious.

Quite some time ago, I promised a new snack category for recipes, snackmade. Enfin! Le début. . I recently went to an urban barbecue and brought my summer-time pot-luck standard, ambrosia. It’s not fancy and it’s not gourmet, but people love it, even if they are fancy and gourmet. Ambrosia’s…

Given all the recent meta-coverage of Jack Lamb and his East Village conglomerate of restaurants, anchored by Jewel Bako, I thought it an apt moment to check in with Greg “sushi spreadsheet” Lippmann. I first met him back in September 04. He’s a securities trader with a penchant for sushi,…
