_Sweet Willie_ Posted December 11, 2009 Author Share Posted December 11, 2009 I love an egg sandwich. I don't think I've had an egg sandwich as good anywhere as in NYC. I fed myself a cholesterol bomb this morning (the bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich on a roll) and it made me very happy. Can you dig it? Peace. --SW spreadluv Fanboy? Why, yes!

Ever try the Burger Joint in the lobby of the Parker Meridien Hotel? It's behind a curtain next to the reception desk in the main lobby. Excellent burger. Strange location.

Nicklab Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 If we're talking about NY burger joints, you've got to get Kozy Soup & Burger in the mix. They're at Broadway and Astor Place, and the burgers are phenomenal. Even if the place is typically full of NYU students. Rocky, a vodka sauce is pretty simple to make. Start with a marinara sauce. Add in some heavy cream and vodka. Some recipes will have you add cheese to the sauce as part of the recipe (like this one). Traditionallly, this sauce is made with penne pasta. I prefer rotini because the spirals of the pasta hold more of the sauce and give it more flavor. Also, your choice of grating cheese matters. Parmesan is a standard for a lot of people, but I personally prefer pecorino romano. You should be able to find pecorino romano at most decent grocery stores.

Rocky McDougall Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 I think the secrect to a good burger is, beef with at least 30% fat. High grade lean beef makes a horrible burger.

DJR_Bos Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 High grade lean beef makes a horrible burger. Rocky Agreed completely Rocky. But anything below 80% is bloody hard to find in these parts. So I always grind it myself and thrown in about a slice of good thick cut bacon per pound of beef. Takes care of the fat content. And the flavor is nice, not over powering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul K Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Not earth shattering news and also a little late for St Patrick's day, but I made a killer corned beef last night. I used vegetable broth instead of water for the boil. And the braised red cabbage and apple was silly easy and good: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/guys-big-bite-/braised-red-cabbage-recipe/index.html I didn't do the allspice berries wrapped in cheesecloth. Just crushed up a couple and put them in. Does anybody actually have cheesecloth in their kitchen? I'd make it again. Things are just the way they are, and they're only going to get worse.

rizzo9247 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 I haven't seen cheesecloth in ten years... Back on the burger front, I had a very enjoyable one at Paul's da Burger joint on the corner of St marks and 2nd. With a cold bottle of root beer (made with pure cane sugar) to wash it down. Excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicklab Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Ah, you guys are talking about my old stomping grounds! Actually, I still hang out in that area since a good friend of mine runs one of the few remaining record shops on St. Marks. And I think the burger place you're talking about might be right next door to my buddy's store Riz. Paul: yes, you can still spin the cube that's in the square by Cooper Union. And the skanky bar that you're talking about? I get the feeling you might be talking about the Grassroots tavern. TREMENDOUSLY skanky, but a great place for a beer.
