Winter Steak Salad
I’m not going to deny it. I love beef. But times, as they say, have changed. I try to go meatless more. But there’s this primal desire for Beef. I wondered how I could put a healthy spin on a Steak dinner and voilà, I…
If we can cook it, you can cook it And we'll travel the world to bring it back home to you.

Last November, in the New York Times no less, came a story about a Burger that caused, in the words of my late father, “a big stink”. There were no complaints about the burger itself. In fact, it is lauded as being New York’s…
A Girl and Her Pig…literally I am a huge fan of April Bloomfield and I’ll follow her anywhere—to The Breslin in the Ace Hotel, next door at the John Dory or down in the Village where she practically invented the Gastropub at “The Spotted…
As I pointed on Monday in “The 12 Best Burgers…Part 1”, New York Burgers fall into two distinct camps: The “Classic” Burgers which stick to the same pattern of beef patty, American Cheese, soft bun, ‘special sauce’, lettuce and tomato. From there we move…
The weather on America’s East Coast has been nothing short of bizaare this whole winter. When I boarded the plane to come home from St. Barth, the temperature there was 81 degrees. When I arrived in Newark the temperature was 75 degrees. We…
Monte’s Scotch Eggs courtesy Melissa Clark’s recipe Yes, I was at The Breslin yet again. This time I went for dinner with friends. Because Ms. Bloomfield has just knocked everyone’s socks off at the new John Dory Oyster Bar, on the other…
I recently introduced Andrew to the Breslin, April Bloomfield’s gastropub in the Ace Hotel (16 West 29th St. between Fifth Ave. and Broadway Tel: 212 679 1939) . We sat at the bar and ate our lamb burgers and thrice-cooked chips and…
At The Breslin, April Bloomfield’s much-written-about “British Gastropub” at 16 West 29th Street,(TEL: (212) 679-1939), I became totally enamored of the Lamb Burger. It’s almost as outrageously tasty as the “Thrice Cooked Chips” that are as good, if not better, than any French fry…
LEMONETTE GOURMET LEMON DRESSINGS
This Hollywood Star was discovered by an 89-year-old producer named Frank. A couple of newlyweds had started LEMONETTE® in their kitchen. The two shared kitchen duties and discovered that every sauce and every flavor they liked started with the Lemon. From salads to sauces to side dishes, the couple simply loved lemon. They soon discovered they were not alone. Friends, neighbors, even small children loved their inventions so they bottled them up. Then along came Frank who couldn’t wait to get in on their game. LEMONETTE became a two-family affair. Each LEMONETTE® dressing is crafted in California in small batches using locally sourced ingredients. Now there are four flavors, each one unique and each one great for marinades, dips, grilling, finishes, and of course as salad dressings. There’s Mediterranean Herb, Italian Herb, Lemon Garlic, and Zesty Cumin. LEMONETTE® has No Vinegar, No Sugar, No GMO’s, No Gluten, No Soy, No Dairy, No Artificial Colors, No Artificial Preservatives, No MSG, and No Cholesterol. LEMONETTE is in some 800 plus food stores across the country. And if you can’t find it there, get it online on Amazon. A portion of all proceeds goes to The Heart Foundation.
