I second Hog Island Oyster Co. in the Ferry Building. The Ferry Bldg is, indeed, touristy. But it is such a bastion of food-indulgence: there are few places in the world where you can get sheep ricotta, perfect Russian tea bread,...

a big savory dooughnutt with meat, cabbage fruit etc. fillings. I think the place that sold them out of a front window was White Acacia – but the name may have changed. There is a boardwalk down to Coney Island – with...

crab was unbelievable. Huge legs, sweet and tender meat. It was better than any lobster I’ve ever had. My only complaint was that the key lime pie was slightly frozen. For me it’s pretty close to the perfect...

pancakes, pan seared meats, etc. I confess, I do have a couple cheap nonsticks pans that I use mostly for making cocoa and oatmeal.

items that are unwise for ME to eat and still create what I and those I feed find to be delicious and satisfying meals. For a while, I felt I HAD to make meat- or poultry-centered company meals, but little by little realized that...

understand that shock and even disgust is not the norm for food creation – certainly there is no sorrow (other than the sorrow over the ruination of a perfectly good piece of meat - perhaps a creative chef would cook a...

At restaurants when one person orders fish and another meat I sometimes drink red Sancerre. Some are too weak and lack depth. My favorite multi-purpose red is Chinon.

Korean restaurant recently under new management. Haven’t tried. Thai 55 Tolerable Thai (sorry, I’m really not current on HP’s 4 Thai restaurants). Nile Ditto for Middle Eastern. Morry’s Sorry excuse for a deli....

. Is there really a holy grail out there? Me, there are certain foods that I just adore. Grilled meats with spicy sauces whether latin, afghan, persian or bar-b-q could fill my plate daily. Likewise, I love hamburgers. I can eat a...
