Best Grilled Cheese Sandwich
A grilled cheese sandwich is the ultimate comfort food. Gourmet versions are the rage, but none match the simplicity and flavor of this one.
Atomix – NYC
Atomix, pronounced counter intuitively as Aa-toe-mix was the unexpected gastronomic thrill of our recent visit to NYC. I knew that Atomix held a recently acquired Michelin star and a 4 star NY Times rating, but they opened barely a year ago without a great deal of fanfare. That anonymity is quickly coming to an end. I told my son, the other restaurants on our agenda will be hard pressed to surpass the dinner we were having at Atomix.
Vichyssoise
Vichyssoise is a classic French soup. Or is it? The true origin, French or American is a legitimate question. In 1917 Creme Vichyssoise Glacee made its debut on the menu of Chef Louis Diat at the New York Ritz Carlton Hotel.
Monkey Gland
You’ve sipped a Fuzzy Navel and had Sex on the Beach. Maybe you ordered a Screaming Orgasm only to harbor desire for a Monkey Gland.
Roasted Asparagus
Asparagus can be the most delicious of the vegetable kingdom. It can also be the most bedeviling of all vegetables.
Nicos – Mexico City
Nicos was founded in 1956 by the mother of Chef Gerardo Vasquez Lugo. He honors her legacy with fantastic, authentic food and service.
Escargot
Escargot – Snails. You love ’em or hate ’em. I find that most haters have never tried them. That’s their mistake because who doesn’t like butter, garlic, cheese and fresh bread?
