Health Food Makes Me Sick: A Nordic Feast

http://healthfoodmakesmesick.blogspot.com/2012/04/nordic-feast.html

Thursday, April 19, 2012. Don't get me started on the impossibility of getting into Acme. Say you have a reservation on a Sunday evening, procured, pre-Times-review, through Open Table. Say you show up to this incredibly hip NoHo spot, only to have a snotty, well-dressed host tell you that the restaurant is closed for a private party. No apology. No delicacy. They might as well throw you out onto the streets. 9 Great Jones Street. New York, NY 10012. Duck in a jar. Foie gras and langoustines. Freelance w...

Health Food Makes Me Sick: Garment District Dinner

http://healthfoodmakesmesick.blogspot.com/2012/04/garment-district-dinner.html

Thursday, April 12, 2012. Cocktail lists come in books, but the system is flawed, with pages sticking out every which way. Cute idea, if you can make it work. Cuter is the mythic bottles of booze, hiding in fat books on The Library's walls. Find one, and it's yours, but it's gauche to look with so many people staring into cocktails. New York, NY 10001.

Health Food Makes Me Sick: Atera

http://healthfoodmakesmesick.blogspot.com/2012/04/atera.html

Sunday, April 1, 2012. Next it is on to our actual courses. Many of the dishes follow a trajectory of complimentary temperatures and textures. We eat yogurt with a disc of frozen beet and freeze-dried fruit and edible flowers. Diver scallops, raw and in ribbons, arrive squeezed between planks of cold sorbet and light buttermilk meringue. Chopped raw fluke in a sea of plummy, sticky barbecue sauce, is garnished with more flowers. Get there if you can. New York, NY 10013. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Health Food Makes Me Sick: December 2011

http://healthfoodmakesmesick.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html

Friday, December 16, 2011. These places are opening all over now: local, sustainable, rustic, small. The restaurant is tiny and equipped to handle minimal crowds. We lucked out in scoring a three top right when we came in. Cocktails are delicious, if a little too small. A tart, red drink tasted like sour cherries or currants, or a mix of the two. Desserts were kind of a failure. A fennel panna cotta was overrun by lemon rind that provided too much texture in a grainy, gross kind of way. A pear cl...A six...

Health Food Makes Me Sick: April 2012

http://healthfoodmakesmesick.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html

Sunday, April 29, 2012. A Trip To Long Island. City. But the food showed surprising depth and clarity. But who can really complain about asparagus this time of year? Maitake mushrooms drowned in whole butter, anyway, and more than made up for it. A thick cut salmon tartare with creme fraiche would have been perfect if only it had been better seasoned. Shisito peppers- three hot ones in our bunch! Long Island City, NY 11101. Thursday, April 19, 2012. Donuts- the new New York trend- were fine, if ordinary ...

Health Food Makes Me Sick: Chicken Parm

http://healthfoodmakesmesick.blogspot.com/2012/04/chicken-parm.html

Monday, April 2, 2012. But we had come for the parm. The icing on our literal cake, save for the liter of Italian wine that came to us in a straw-bottomed Chianti bottle, was a three-tiered ice cream version with competing flavors of strawberry, chocolate, and pistachio, all tucked between layers of crispy cookie (think Carvel for inspiration) and frosted with that familiar and fondly remembered white ice cream icing. We didn't need to be convinced; we finished the whole slice. New York, NY 10012.

Health Food Makes Me Sick: March 2012

http://healthfoodmakesmesick.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html

Thursday, March 29, 2012. Cafe this time. The scene is vastly different from that of Daniel: a bustling, busy dining room with men in suits at every available table. Our server bills it as a "neighborhood restaurant," but that's probably only applicable if you own an 8 million dollar townhouse on Park. Which, I determine by a quick glance around the room, some of these guys do. 20 East 76th Street. New York, NY 10021. Friday, March 23, 2012. It has been a week of worldly food adventures and I have stayed...

Health Food Makes Me Sick: Japanese Home Style

http://healthfoodmakesmesick.blogspot.com/2012/04/japanese-home-style.html

Tuesday, April 3, 2012. Family Recipe, an LES project spearheaded by Chef Akiko Thurnauer, may be one of the best small plates joints to pop up in Manhattan. Small plates restaurants normally force me to a.) overorder and b.) overspend, but Family Recipe required no such sacrifice. We were a table of four and ate a wide cross section of the menu without overindulging. And all this for sixty dollars a person, alcohol included. New York, NY 10002. Prince Edward Island mussels.
