In Short Order
…Yes, warm, thick slices of bread singing with bouquets of vanilla and nutmeg were a great base for the assortment of berries and melon and cantaloupe. The bacon had perfect “chew” and great flavor without being overly salty. The mellow maple rewarded me by topping mouthfuls of however many different elements I could fit on my fork at one time….

That’s A Wrap!

Rooster Call

Egg Therapy (aka BKFST in BKLYN)
…My verdict? The sandwich is a winner. They’re starting with extra points with just the home-baked buttermilk biscuit, but add to that some porky, tasty lean and fatty ham, cut it’s natural saltiness with the rich, earthy sweetness of the fig jam, then complement that sweetness with an oozy cheddar that’s both smooth and sharp…. Well, you get the idea. It hit on all cylinders…. [Full post]
Alice In Wonderland
…Bailey’s Irish Cream/Red Velvet French Toast Medallions stuffed with Banana and Nutella, with Orange Honey and Peanut Butter Butter
Hungover Easy
…That may explain why after not being able to decide if I wanted a bagel with lox and cream cheese or a Texas Burger (topped with fried egg) for a breakfast, after spotting a bag of something called Bagel Thins, I felt it was fortuitous that I decide to combine the two options into one hellacious idea of a meal….

Eats Egg, Then Leaves
Egg Salad | Fried Egg Over Mixed Herbed Greens with Turkey Bacon, Shallots, Soy Sauce and Chili Oil
Surf & Turf’s Up
…I made a tuna tartare, mincing fresh raw tuna with soy sauce, salt, pepper, scallions, fish sauce, and ginger. I chilled the tartare while skillet-grilling an Angus tenderloin steak and making a hollandaise sauce incorporating wasabi paste and a little bit of mustard. After the steak was done and sat for a few minutes, I topped it with the chilled tartare, topped that with a sunny side up egg yolk, and spooned the wasabi hollandaise on top…. [Full post]
A Day in the Life of Hamburger Buns
….Two were of a kind of steak burger prep, with steak sauce, raw and fried onions, and bacon. The other two had the addition of sweet and spicy elements, making a pineapple mustard from scratch, pickling raw onions in balsamic vinegar, and two slices of crispy bacon, and kicking the whole burger up with sweet relish and hot jalapeños. All four burgers sat very nicely on four toasted hamburger buns…. [Full post]

Good Morning Boost
Energy Kitchen | Various Locations | www.energykitchen.com I LOVE SURPRISES. Being a cynic-slash-skeptic makes them, however, very rare occurrences in my life. And when a recent iteration of something called Energy Kitchen opened up directly across the street from me, I, initially, reacted not with surprise, but with pity. The same pity I had for [...]
The Early Bird
…The vinaigrette also added nuance to the earthy, herbal chicken meat, brightening the meat’s flavor with its hits of vinegar, as the red pepper flakes balanced the natural sweetness of the green beans and woke up the corners of my mouth, like a jolt of coffee, preparing me for the rest of my day… [Full post]
Quick Post | Pesto Change-o
…I prepared a box of couscous, first sautéing sliced garlic and pine nuts in butter in the bottom of a medium-sized pot, then using water and apple juice as my liquid, letting it boil, stirring in the dry couscous, taking it off the heat. Then, after letting it steam itself to doneness, fork fluffing it with a little extra butter and some diced mint leaves, spooning on a plate, topping it with the red snapper, and serving it with oven-toasted pita bread brushed with a rosemary-honey-olive oil mixture….

“Dinkfast”?
…I won’t ever give up omelets or pancakes or French toast forever, but considering not only the great tastes in these two dishes, but how much healthier (lower in carbs, cholesterol, sugars) they were as well, I think I could make a good case for eating like this more often during the a.m. hours….

Quick Post | Assorted Italian Chicks
….Wanting to keep it Italian at heart and simple, I picked up stuff for two different versions of the bruschetta. One version would get fresh mozzarella, a tomato and basil salad, and be topped with a sunny side up egg, the other would get proscuitto, pesto, parmesan cheese…. [Full post]
Quick Post | Rush Hour
… it was a whole new new surreality to watch pre-cooked egg “rounds”—available in “white” or “yellow”, as my sandwich artist called them (?!)—being layered into the bread as I ordered a Black Forest ham, egg and cheese on a (pre-toasted but likewise not baked on premise) English muffin, and—to make good use of the toppings station that is made fully available for breakfast!… [Full post...]
Mushroom With A View
…I still had some fresh sour cream and a half container of white mushrooms, which I sliced and sautéed in some butter. I then spooned them into a omelet—of whisked eggs, salt, pepper, and dried basil, oregano, and tarragon—along with a couple spoonfuls of sour cream (with an extra dollop on top with some black lumpfish caviar)….

Red Dawn
…So, waking up sober but in need of culinary childhood reversion, I put some cocoa powder and a bit of chocolate syrup into some pancake batter with several drops of red food coloring, and gave that a thorough stirring. I poured small ladlefuls of batter into a buttered and preheated large skillet, and cooked as I would regular pancakes…. [cont.
