    NYC best JUST dessert places?

    Actually, I think ChikaLicious is the only strictly “dessert” only place. I’ve not been to Room4Dessert, but I’ve read on another food forum that in June, they began serving breakfast. Sam Mason, who used...

    Chickalicious vs. Room4Dessert

    While I think both are interesting – neither of them are really great. The suggestion of doing the dessert tasting, though more expensive, will be much better at WD~50. Chef Sam Mason is brilliant. http://www.sammasonnyc.com/

    So: who's been to Tailor ?

    Sam Mason's dessert tasting at WD-50 2 or 3 summers ago was one of the greatest food experiences I’ve ever had. So, I went to Tailor with big expectations, which I’m afraid was not a good idea. I went with 3 other...

    Not sure what you’re doing exactly, but I know Alex Stupak and Sam Mason have made “meringues” by using xanthan gum and methylcellulose-whipping it in a stand mixer. Check out Ultratex-3/8 too-It’s...

    Room 4 Dessert or chickalicious?

    Most Creative Chef in NYC?

    Sam Mason of Tailor is creative, but not as creative-good as Wylie Dufresne, I don’t think. I need to give Tailor one more try before I write it off, but I haven’t loved any of the dishes I’ve had, there, on my...

    I forgot Thanksgiving! Help!

    You’re in Germany—you’ve got good bread and good sausage. Use them as a base for stuffing and bake a batch of stuffing. And ChristinaMason is correct about the special dessert, which makes kids, even those of us...

    Dessert: Babbo or Varietal?

    (except for the mushroom caramel—that stuff rocked; if only it wasn’t swamped by six or seven other items on the plate). Finally, the courses were way too big. We got bored with them after a few bites. Until Sam Mason...
