DE(B)LO(G)CATED: FORGET IT, JAKE. IT'S CHINATOWN. →
delocatedblog:
The title of this post is a line from the movie Chinatown. John Lee, EP/writer/director on Delocated, hilariously said that he never understood what that line meant until we started working in Chinatown, then it all made perfect sense. The Delocated production office is lovingly and…

bushwickreview:
Zachary Feldman has contributed his witty haikus to all three issues of The Bushwick Review. In The Bushwick Review #2, he wrote sidesplitting haiku reviews of popular Bushwick restaurants. It was a subject near and dear to his heart and stomach, because Zach is a man who knows restaurants…

Omakase at Tsuki
Tsuki has been open on an innocuous stretch of 1st Avenue for nine years. I’ve been living in the area for over four, and each one seems wasted now that I know what I’ve been missing. The sushi master is Kazutoshi Maeda, a petite and charming man whose gray hair and slight hunch belie the volcanic eruption of creativity taking place in his peepers. For a while, Maeda trained a gaijin...

Brooklyn Fare
Dinner at Brooklyn Fare is something to covet, an individually intimate experience shared each time by a different group of twelve. In Alan Richman’s glowing review for GQ, he fawned over the chef, Bouley alum Cesar Ramirez, and teased readers about the difficulty of scoring a reservation — boy was he right. Back in February, when I dined there for my mother’s 60th, Chef...

Playing Footsie Under The Tabla: Floyd Cardoz and...
Apprehension is a most natural response when confronted with chefs who dabble in commercial ventures. After all, such pursuits have yielded the Hell’s Kitchen video game and Paula Deen Bean Pot (for the life of me, I still can’t figure out my Guy Fieri Artificial Horse Inseminator) - although with those harlequins you almost expect it. So then, what to think when a lauded chef from the...

Damon Frugal Friday Every Day Except Tuesday round...
Last night, my esteemed and steamed (or at least steamy) girlfriend took me out to Damon Frugal Friday Every Day Except Tuesday - the popular small plates, recession-friendly Craft spinoff - for my 26th birthday. As with the other time I went (the first week it opened, it should be noted…i.e. there was room for error), some dishes were great, some were just good, and nothing was particularly...
thank goodness i get to post this again.

Irving Mill Cook's Menu 03/22/09
This meal, consumed a few months back, was one of the most satisfying tasting menu experiences in recent memory. With a tasting menu, progression is paramount. In this case, each dish (the savory ones, at least) was cleaner than the next, with ever more pronounced flavors and techniques comingling on the plate.
There’s a portentous charm in serving a single tempura-fried rabbit leg - the...

Matzoh Ice Cream with Chocolate Covered Matzoh...
Here’s the matzoh ice cream fresh from the churn. The matzoh added a great cracker flavor to the milk and I had to play with the amount of salt and sugar until I had a mixture that satisfied. While the ice cream does taste like matzoh (moreso like buttered matzoh), I would add more sugar to the base next time as the chocolate matzoh pieces didn’t contribute as much sweetness as...
Allegretti
Last week I had dinner at Allegretti with Georgia (brooklynwinechick), a friend who works in wine sales. She’d had some dealings with them in the past but hadn’t tried the food and as they’d been in my sights for some time, I jumped at the opportunity. Being almost April, we were lucky to sample offerings from the winter menu. Criticism of the restaurant has been...

Piquillo, JFK Jet Blue Terminal 5
Jet Blue’s T5 has quite a few problems (it’s an architecturally confusing, mini mall of a place), but its culinary aspirations aren’t one of them. Faced with some downtime while waiting for my flight, I sat down for a snack at Piquillo - former Tia Pol exec. Alex Raij’s contribution to the T5 lineup of upscale eateries. Piquillo es muy pequeño; it’s a sliver of a...
