Apparently a toaster is more difficult to make than a space capsule. It’s not rocket science, it’s much more difficult. With the technology available today it should be easier than ever to make a great one, so why is it so hard find one? Get ready you fledgling M.B.A.’s, here is a can’t miss business model for you!
Scallops on Forbidden Rice
A friend of mine is a scallop fanatic, so when he said he was coming to visit the wheels began turning. Thus was born the concept of “Scallopalooza”, a dinner focused on scallops.
Cosme – NYC
When I discovered Enrique Olvero of Pujol had a restaurant in New York I had to dine there. The icing on the cake was that Enrique’s partner and executive chef was Daniela Soto-Innes.
Caesar Salad
Once upon a time, servers would prepare caesar salad tableside. They whisked anchovies, garlic, salt and egg yolks together with great fanfare.
Le Bernardin – NYC
Le Bernardin sits atop the restaurant world in the United States, recently named the best by La Liste. Accolades are nothing new for partner’s Maguy Le Coze and Eric Ripert, holding both a three star Michelin and a four star New York Times rating. In addition there are innumerable James beard and World’s best awards.
Blueberry Buckle
Blueberries are in season and Blueberry Buckle cake is a delicious way to use them. Perfect with a good cup of coffee and very easy to make.
Chernobyl
Friday, October 4th was National Vodka Day and that motivated me to dabble with vodka cocktails. The result is the Chernobyl, a gorgeous drink that may seduce you into having more than one. If you do, remember that like roentgens, you can easily surpass the recommended exposure limit.
Strip Steak with Chimichurri Sauce
Here in Arkansas we call it the New York strip steak but it has several aliases. Kansas City and Delmonico are two others, but in New York it was commonly called a shell steak and internationally it’s known as a club steak.
Chimichurri Sauce
Traditional Chimichurri sauce has only six ingredients, so don’t be fooled by imposters that throw in everything but the kitchen sink.
The Aviary – NYC
The Aviary is the brainchild of acclaimed Chef Grant Achatz focused on cocktails with the same inspiration and creativity you find at his restaurants.
