...Again, happiness. The meat was near fall-of-the-bone yet still plenty tender, brushed with a tangy, sweet, spicy sauce, with hints of chili powder and garlic in the seasoning and a touch of vinegar,enough to wake up the inside of my cheeks.... [Full post]
...So I again skillet-grilled two Thumann's Pork & Beef Hot Dogs and placed them into toasted hot dog buns, topping them with shrimp (this time boiled in water, butter and lemon juice instead of sautéing them in butter and garlic), wasabi mayo, sriracha sauce, pickled orange peppers, and cilantro, and bringing them downstairs on a paper plate to Ali and Chris to try....

...Last night, I decided to spoil myself with our Monday Night Steak Special (served every Monday night after 5 p.m.) which is a 14 oz. N.Y. Strip Steak, marinated for 6 hours in Chef Gary's signature garlicky smokey-sweet sauce, grilled to order, topped with fried onions, and served complete with a side house or Caesar salad, potatoes, and veggies—all for just $18!...

I whisked some eggs with chopped scallions and pimento, poured them into a buttered pan, stuffed the omelet with leftover tuna salad from last night's dinner, and served it with the one last potato I had, which I cut into big dices and sautéed in a skillet with butter, garlic, celery salt and fresh cracked pepper...

...The inside of the place was small. Really small. It could only fit two 2-tops, and both were full at the time. I stepped to the counter where they had hot plates of various stewed meats, beans, veggies, and rices.... [cont.]
...The convenience of their quick, hot delivery, and reasonably low prices only adds to their appeal. Their missteps exists on some of their other dishes (such as the fried fish combos) and on their "sides" (cheese fries, good; macaroni salad, okay; spanish rice, pass)!... [Full Post]
...It is a kitschy space, yet complete devoid quaint cutsiness or hipster irony. The decor, a throwback to the national diners of yore.... [cont.]
...And almost every neighborhood in at least 4 of the five boroughs has a pizza place with minutes of their doorstep. And if you live in a neighborhood like mine—where pizzerias average 1.3 per block, you're going to want to do the work of finding out where you $2.50–$3.75 per slice is best spent.... [Full post]
...The hot dogs being longer than the buns they were on, I was able to try a bite of just weiner. They were good—Psilakis' recipes both—and possessed the texture of homemade sausages.
