Hot Sake - Food News You Can Use

2006_03_food_Hot Sake2.jpg

We got ourselves a note in the inbox from the folks who run the Big Apple BBQ to let us know that Bubba FastPasses are currently on sale from now till May 25 for the June 9 & 10 event. Gothamist was all over this event last year; look for more great coverage and photos coming up soon. This year should provide a bit of a pre-show glimpse of what local pitmaster Robbie Richter has in store for his new spot Hill Country - a place that should have you very excited. Hit the site to review other pitmasters participating as well as the impressive panelists for seminar series.
Reading on Grub Street about Cones ice cream and one patron's fight to get Dulce de Leche con Brownie stocked as a regular flavor prompted a pop-in. After spotting the flavor and knowing we needed to order it to see what it was all about, we blew our test tries on corn (not good, very different from Claudia Fleming's seminal version) and pistachio (have you had Ronnybrook ?). Walking home we reflected back that this was probably not the best ice cream we have had and was not even up to snuff with Peanut Butter Ripple the ole' Shake Shack had earlier in the weekend.
Congratulations to Ganda, who recently grabbed Ed Levine for her “You Are What You Eat” column, on her inclusion on a food blogging panel this Fall for the Gourmet Institute. With a wide variety of panels full of heavy hitter chefs and food personalities, this is a great opportunity for a fantastic food blogger.
On the scale of 1 to ridiculous, the news that Donald Trump has a line of steaks is off the charts stupidity. What won't this man slap his name on ?
Il Buco became the latest casualty in the DOH war. They were shut down Friday but thankfully payed it straight with customers, leaving an honest, forthright note about their position on the closing in the window.
Eric Asimov goes all Sideways with Santa Barbara Pinots and is very impressed. Makes you want to overlook the goofy legacy of the movie and fall in love all over again for the umpteenth time with Pinot like our friend Tanisha who loves the purple stuff too.
