  Seventeen beers on tap and smoked pork by a local barbecue geek that competes nationally, need I say more? Read my latest bar review, “Raising the Bar: House Smoked Pig at Waterfront Ale House,” on Serious Eats: New York.

  Solid Bar Bites at Bar Stuzzichini – NYC

  11.20.09 | Permalink | 4 Comments

  

  “Raising the Bar: Solid Bar Bites at Bar Stuzzichini,” went up on SE:NY this afternoon, or should I say, yesterday. (Late night for me as usual.) If you haven’t read it, take a gander. Five stuzzichini (appetizers or small plates) for $25. It’s a pretty sweet deal, especially when grilled head-on prawns, fried artichokes, arancini, and grilled octopus are among the choices. But if that’s not good enough for you, during Happy Hour, you get a free stuzzi with a drink at the bar. See, there are some advantages to being a wino. Embrace your inner drunk.

  Being Local at Wilfie & Nell – NYC

  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

  10.29.09 | Permalink | 3 Comments

  

  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.
