There’s nothing subtle about a po-boy. They combine light, crispy French bread with heavy, hearty fillings and, if dressed, lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise.
Forget the over-hyped Lincoln. The Grand Tier restaurant in the Met is a tried and true institution, set amidst Marc Chagall murals and a cascade of chandeliers.
The Omnivore Group runs the annual Omnivore Food Festival in Deauville, which has featured Ferran Adrià , Alain Ducasse, Pierre Hermé and more and recently began a monthly themed event at Cent Quatre (104) in Paris. Chef Jeremiah Stone, who works for Omnivore, recounts the first Omnivore 104 event for Untapped.
Omnivore chef Jeremiah Stone took me to his favorite bakery in Paris, where you can get the Kouign Aman pastry (Queen Aman, in "American" English) usually only available in Brittany.
Delta Terminal 2 at JFK just got a badly needed makeover. A café called Croque Madame has wallpapered the walls with a fleur-de-lis like pattern and hip tables with iPads and leather seats.
With more than 40,000 people expected to queue up for New Orleans' legendary sandwich, I headed to the Po-boy Preservation Festival nice and early.
The line at Parkway Bakery and Tavern stretched 20 people long on NFL Opening Day 2010, but it only took ten minutes to get to the front and order a sandwich. “Regular french fry po-boy with gravy.” The guy taking orders looked at me. “That’s a big sandwich. You sure?”
When Korilla BBQ comes to Columbia University, it parks on Amsterdam away from the slew of other food trucks on Amsterdam. There's a great visual menu, an assembly line of workers, a mirror above to show you what they've got and an iPad rings you up.
Today, the Rickshaw dumpling truck was parked outside Columbia University so I gave it a try. It gets an A for marketing and I LOL'd reading the line, "Who's your Edamame?"
Well, one of the best views in Paris at least--there are so many! The outdoor seating area is under the north wing of the museum, overlooking the Louvre Courtyard and the Pyramid, with a glimpse of the Eiffel Tower.
