Avid readers of the blog know that BK & I fell in love with the cookies at Momfuku Milk Bar while we were in New York last summer – so, when I saw the Milk Bar pastry chef had a new cookbook coming out AND she would be in Seattle at Book Larder to promote it, I [...]

The Meatball Shop
Posted in B&K Eat, New York on September 2, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
This place is great – well-decorated, nice vibe and thoughtful menu and presentation. They know their focus: meatballs. There’s 5-6 different kinds, and 5 sauces. From there, there are several ways to have your meat and sauce served to you depending on what you like – just mark up your menu and enjoy. I loved [...]
Babbo

Dinner at Babbo was really good and a great way to end our week of big dining adventures (Thanks Jon & Candi!). The setting seems formal, but if you listen closely they are playing Nirvana and things are actually pretty reasonably priced for such a well-known restaurant. We chose the pasta tasting menu: First up [...]

Big dinner #3 was at Le Bernadin, owned by cute, popular chef Eric Ripert. He was actually strolling through the dining room visiting tables as we arrived (sadly when I enquired at the end of our meal if he was still there he had already left). Le Bernadin was very formal and clean – all the dishes and staff were super [...]

WD-50

Our first big dinner in NYC was at WD-50 (http://www.wd-50.com), very similar to Alinea and Arzak in that head chef Wylie likes to play food and present things in ways that look and taste different then what they really are. We started with cocktails at the bar: First up was Razor clam, red pepper, [...]
DBGB

Unlike his other establishments which tend to focus more on the higher end, DBGB offers simple food executed at a very high level. Much of the menu is centered around the 14 different types of house made sausages and several different burgers plus other chicken, beef and pork options. We decided to split a couple [...]
