"On the plate: Bone Marrow Poppers, pastry shell, greens, Bordelaise. $12 ".Chef Julia Jaksic, of Employees Only says: “I love bone marrow. My dad’s a butcher, so I grew up with meat and a lot of meat-related things. When I first started here at Employees Only the owners were like, look, we want heavy food because we make strong drinks. And my approach to food is a certain way already—I come from an Eastern European background, so that influence is on my menu. Read the whole story at GOTHAMIST.COM here...

This odd recipe/photo was found on 'Foodista.com'. It was written by Sheri Wetherell. This is what she says--" After grilling it for a few minutes on each side, we dug in. The result was was a beautiful “salad” that was sweet, tender and possessing the wonderful smokiness of the grill." Looks different, sounds great. Go to 'Foodista' here

Indian Diced Potatoes With Greens From Alison's Lunch

2009-01-02T14:44:00.000-08:00

From Alison's Lunch' a great new year's treat and photo. Says Alison. " Eating black-eyed peas and collards on New Year’s Day is supposed to bring prosperity in the coming year. I’ve read that collards are supposed to symbolize greenbacks, and I guess black-eyed peas represent coins? Even if you’re not superstitious, in today’s financial climate, it’s probably wise to eat collards… I can think of several concrete ways that collards can boost your budget." Looks great Alison.

Ode To Frito Candy

2008-12-30T13:56:00.000-08:00

This recipe was spotted by 'And A Cookie For Dessert' months ago on Anna's fantastic blog, Cookie Madness, but chocolate and fritos were difficult to come to grips with. It looks ok to me. How 'bout you? But this snack is just amazing. Sounds like a 'salty-sweet' thing to me. It's hard to share this one. 'Nuff said..
