Sushi Yasuda 204 East 43rd Street, New York, NY 10001is already my favorite restaurant but when it’s super hot in the summer, I want to go even more. First of all, I can’t cook in this weather. Secondly, I can’t eat hot food in this weather either. Thirdly, I must continue [...]

Holy Frijoles
Tuesday, August 18, 2009
Any skanky Tex/Mex restaurant is going to do just fine.
Many Tex/Mex places have a quesadilla filled with ham, turkey, scallion, and more. If they don’t, just get the most packed quesadilla they have. Place a side order for refried beans and nachos. Make sure to grab some sour cream and salsa. Assemble your meal: slice [...]
Taste of Turkey

Find a street cart named desire (falafel).
Order a platter of rice and salad, plus a combo of falafel and lamb gyro. Top with yogurt and hot sauce. Get pita on the side. When you sit down to eat, try to get a little of everything into each bite (rice, salad, falfel, lamb, and pita. It’s [...]
Grilled Radicchio with a Balsamic Reduction
Monday, August 17, 2009
I’m a firm believer in good quality balsamic vinegar, something that has been aged at least 10 years but preferably longer. They can get quite pricey though so I keep at least two kinds of balsamic at home. I’ll buy one that is $30 or more for about 8 fl oz, used to finish dishes [...]
That Salad is Nuts

Any ole “Make Your Own Salad” place.
Toss together romaine, breaded chicken, crumbled blue cheese crumble (if available), sunflower seeds, walnuts, and pine nuts. Add bleu cheese dressing (I like it on the side) and you’re good to go.
Zuni Style Roast Chicken
Sunday, August 16, 2009
We’re going to California in September and I have a reservation for Zuni Cafe. Yay! They are probably most famous for their Zuni Roast Chicken with Bread Salad, which happens to be in The Zuni Cafe Cookbook. I didn’t make the whole dish but I did follow Judy Rodgers‘ technique for roasting the chicken. What [...]

Run out to your local dirty deli.
Tell them you need roast beef, bacon, and onion rings hot on a kaiser roll, hot! top with American cheese, barbecue sauce, and mayo. Then tell them you need an angioplasty, stat!
Magic Masala Chips with Quick Blender Raita
Saturday, August 15, 2009
Manasi, over at Kiss the Cook, wrote a post about Magic Masala potato chips, which are made by Lays but distributed in India. She just recently found it in NJ and then she sent me some. Is that the sweetest thing ever? Well, the least I could do is have her as this week’s Weekend [...]
Ghetto BonChon Chicken
Friday, August 14, 2009
Recently, we went to Boka and tried BonChon Chicken. After I left, I kept thinking about how the chicken was really nice and crispy, but isn’t that how all the ghetto Chinese places do it? I wouldn’t eat anything else at one of those places, often called Happy Wok, King Wok, or Best Wok, but [...]
