I was excited for a Tex Mex in the neighborhood. But after the warm fresh tortilla chips, great salsa and a little overpriced guacamole, the rest of our dinner was a total downer.
ROSSOPOMODORO: Southern Italian “chain” lands NYC (sorta)
Dear Food Diary:
If you thought Rossopomodoro was just a part of Eataly, you are not alone. It wasn’t until their opening (first stand alone restaurant in America) 2 weeks ago that I learned how big the “chain” actually is. The family restaurant’s headquarter resides Napoli, but they’ve brought their Southern Italian flavors far and wide. From Europe to Middle East, Asia and Africa!
Neapolitan style pizza, homemade pasta made with what they describe as “5 key ingredients” – 00 Caputo Flour, Pasta di Gragnano, Mozzarella di Bufala, San Marzano tomatoes, and extra virgin olive oil from Sorrento.
COSME: Creative Mexican by Chef Enrique Olvera
Dear Food Diary:
Before Cosme landed in NYC, the words creative and Mexican food didn’t seem to make the news. After tasting Mexican celebrity Chef Enrique Olvera’s creations, you understand all the buzz.
Unforgettable dishes and flavors made my last dinner with Terry foodjournies.com (before her trip around the world and move to SF) that much more memorable. What a delicious way to end a chapter with a foodie friend.
EATVENT: Meat Pies and other Thanksgiving goodies at M. Wells
Dear Food Diary:
French class is one of my favorite memories from Toronto public school. Mind you, when I finally made it to Paris, I couldn’t parler any Francais. But those wonderful Tourtière (meat pies) our teacher – mademoiselle M – made for the holidays are still vivid enough, I can smell it. I haven’t had one just like it since, but genuine nostalgia might be to blame…
These delicious memories came back while reading M.Wells ‘ Thanksgiving email – meat pie season has started!
