Raising the Bar

Raising the Bar, West Village
Being Local at Wilfie & Nell – NYC
11.12.09 | Permalink | 2 Comments

If I lived in the West Village, I’d hang out at Wilfie & Nell every weekend for Scotch eggs, grilled cheese, delicious cocktails, and their great beer selection on tap. Read my review, “Raising the Bar: Being Local at Wilfie & Nell,” on SE:NY. Drunken food porn awaits.

Wings Gone Rogue at Mad for Chicken – NYC
11.05.09 | Permalink | Comment?

My KFC spot, Bon Chon, in K-Town went rogue and changed their name to Mad for Chicken. This week I went to see if they’re still the real deal. Read my review, “Raising the Bar: Wings Gone Rogue at Mad for Chicken,” at SE:NY. A few things are different, but if you want to celebrate the Yankees’ World Series win tonight with wings and beer, Mad for Chicken is a good bet.

Banh Mi at Terroir? – NYC

My latest post, “Raising the Bar: Banh Mi at Terroir?,” is up at Serious Eats: New York. Did you ever want to eat an Italian banh mi? Terroir has one with pork terrine, mortadella, and pickled vegetables. Is it a banh mi? Not a chance, but it’s still tasty.

Kicking it at The Modern Bar Room – NYC

Read “Raising the Bar: Kicking it at The Modern Bar Room” on SE:NY where I write about me kicking it with my mom this weekend. We ate Beer-Braised Pork Belly with a Hinny Kick (Hangar One Spiced Pear Vodka, lime, jalapeño, ginger beer, and garnished with candied ginger). Every weekend should be spent with mom, pork belly, and a vodka cocktail!

The Yankees are playing the Angels this Friday in the AL Championships. If you’re looking for a sports bar with good food (onions rings are to die for!) and killer cocktails (Dark & Stormy is gingeriffic!) in Manhattan, check out Warren 77. My post, Raising the Bar: Home Runs and Goals at Warren 77, is up at Serious Eats: NY. Go Yankees!

Mixing it up at Bibim-Bar – NYC

This week’s bar food post, “Raising the Bar: Mixing it up at Bibim-Bar,” is up at Serious Eats: New York. I’ve been eating a lot of Korean food these days because I miss Seoul. At Bibim-Bar I ate nakji (spicy octopus) bibimbap and chicken basil dumplings with a glass of makgulli (Korean rice wine). Mmm, makgulli always makes the world right….at least momentarily.

I’m not a tease, the Asian posts are definitely coming soon. I promise. For now, read about my first night eating out after my vacation “Raising the Bar: Finger-Lickin’ Good at Bar Blanc Bistro” at Serious Eats: NY. I ate fried pig ears and a crostini with delicious Spanish anchovies. I’m bringing some offal love to Serious Eats.
