Brunch at Sarabeth's
2007-06-30 23:29:00 I had brunch at Sarabeth's Sarabeth's (East) with a great group of TNT-ers today after our Saturday morning run. I had dinner at the UWS location Sarabeth's (West) a couple of years ago and was quite disappointed. The brunch was much better which make sense since that is what Sarabeth's is known for. As soon as you're seated, coffee comes around and is constantly refilled (same with water). I More About: Brunch , Brun , Beth , Arab

Chickpea
2007-06-28 15:06:00 Chickpea Chickpea is more expensive than your average falafel & shawarma joint. Some of their products are worth it and some aren't. Here's what you should and shouldn't get: Order: Falafels - Different people prefer different sized falafel balls. These are the smaller ones and very fried but well flavored and seasoned. Pitas -They make their own. Super fresh! Sauces - The tahina sauce and hot
Dead Sodas
2007-06-28 12:45:00 Matt at x-entertainment compiled a brief list of notable, dead sodas. Reading the list certainly provided a quick flashback. How many have you had? I think I tasted most of these, except the tropical Pepsi flavors. More recently, Matt posted about the summer line up of notable flavors, including Pepsi Summer Mix (which I hadn't heard of) and Diet Coke Plus, which one co-worker frequently drinks.

Hellmann's 'Real Food' Series
2007-06-27 19:31:00 In in a moment of genius, the boys over at Ogilvy & Mather have come up with a show that is all about mayonnaise! It's Hellmann's 'Real Food ' Serie s and I want to eat every last bite of it! Or perhaps you didn't read my bio? Sadly, the show is not really going to be all about mayo, as good as that sounds. Instead it will feature ultimate bore Dave Lieberman (who didn't even make it to my More About: Erie
Primehouse, Coming Fall 2007
2007-06-27 15:22:00 Recently Jessica and I have become more respectful of B.R. Guest Restaurants. Particularly since our Barça 18 review. We've realized there is a specific niche in the NYC restaurant price spectrum for B.R. Guest, they seem to acknowledge that spot and fill it perfectly! The formula includes, decently good service, decently good food, generally attractive and usually modern decor, a well stocked More About: Ouse , Fall , Prime , Ming , Rime
Godiva's Chocoiste Line
2007-06-26 14:08:00 Last night we sampled a new product line from Godiva : Choco iste. The theme of the line is focusing on packaging yum yum for the tum tum of an individual (that's industry parlance for 'delectable'). For instance, an individual chocolate chip cookie, with rich chocolate laced over the top (half of which was available at the time I snapped the photo, at right, burp). That cookie was outstanding; More About: Line , Diva
FreshDirect TeleSpam!!
2007-06-26 13:37:00 FreshDire ct TeleSpamUgh! FreshDirect is getting desperate. Yesterday evening, we received a voicemail from FreshDirect's Sarah James, as you can hear in the message, she's part of their SPAM team!!

LU's PiMs
2007-06-25 01:57:00 Today we spent time at my sister's place, enjoying their brand new baby girl, Sabrina-- she's gorgeous! Less enjoyable though were the PiMs cookies we tried while there. They are a cracker-like cookie, topped with a half marshmallow/half-mousse-like concoction, and finally coated in chocolate. Sounds good, right? Wrong. Both Jessica and I did not enjoy them at all. The cookie was too dry, the
How many guys does it take to mess up pancakes?
2007-06-23 23:00:00 The answer is 3. We had lunch at 3 Guys , 3 Guys a diner with 3 locations, on the Upper East side. Lon ordered pancakes with scrambled eggs with cheese. The semi-warm pancakes were overcooked and far from fluffy. The cheese on the scrambled eggs had a really weird taste and we didn't continue eating it. I opted for a make-your-own omelet with tomato, spinach, and muenster cheese. It came out More About: Pancakes , Mess

Foie Gras Linked to Diseases
2007-06-20 21:26:00 For those of us who love foie gras (yum!), today Wikinews reports terrible news. A recent study links foie gras consumption with Alzheimer's, arthritis, diabetes, and other diseases. The article is a bit light on details, but generally I'm not too surprised, but sad.

Shake Shack's Edible Concrete
2007-06-19 04:04:00 If you are willing to wait on a long line, you can have one of the best desserts in NY. While Shake Shack Shake Shack was dubbed best burger by New York Magazine, it's the concretes (their name for a frozen custard blended with home-made mix-ins) that are the BEST!

There's been countless (useless) news stories on TV about how Todd Wilbur figured out the recipe for Pizza Hut or Krispy Kreme or Vitamin Water, and usually I forget about it. By the way, he's been on Food Network quite a few times. But sometimes those recipes are handy to know.

Spice Noodle
