One word. Raoul's


There really isn't too much of a story here. This is about a place that has a long history in NYC, and a favorite for any NYC'er who loves to go out for dinner.
Deep in the heart of SoHo there is a place that everyone has been to at least once, and that still on a friday night is hard to get a reservation.
This place is the ever spectacular Raoul's!
I had first gone almost a decade ago with a friend who at the time I couldn't get enough of. I was new to NYC and she was like my fairly decent God Mother. It was late, and her friends were feeding so we went. I was a vegetarian at the time, and never expected much out of any restaurant. Raoul's knocked my 22 year old drunken stockings off!
Since then I have sent probably 1,000 people there to eat and all have left happy! If they didn't I certainly don't know anything about it!
Tonight I stopped in on a whim with my good gal pal Nicole. We split a bottle of Bordeaux and the halibut. It was quite fantastic!
It never stops giving me a thrill to have to walk through the kitchen of a restaurant to get to my table!
Get to Raoul's. Get a table in the garden, and get the Halibut!
That's all Im saying for now!!!

XOXO

Orange glazed chicken with Shredded Brussels Sprouts and Autumn Brown Rice.

First of all please allow me to apologize for the picture quality. My camera was dead when I went to take a picture, and we were far to hungry to wait for the battery to charge, so I used my iPhone. It’s not terrible, but it is not great either. Now… to the food!!! I originally wanted to try this dish with duck breast but it seems that, even at Whole Foods I can't find any duck breasts. I did find a rather large whole duck, but I didn't get it because it would obviously be too much! So I went for chicken breast. Since I was looking to have that fatty flavor that duck naturally gives out I chose to get the chicken breast (3 breasts) with skin on. I couldn’t find skin on without bones, so I had to debone the breasts at home. It’s really easy to do. You just guide your knife along the rib cage and you’re all set. First preheat your oven to 375 and get started on your rice. I chose brown rice, but any rice you prefer will be fine for this dish. I followed the directions on the bag,

The All Powerful Sauerkraut!

Image
So It seems that I am the last person on the planet to know about the AMAZING health benefits of Sauerkraut.  To be 100% honest our dog got really sick this week and we were researching how to help him out without having to spend a fortune at the vet's office. We kept reading that the dogs health and overall well being started off with how his gut was, and what was going on in his digestive track. JUST LIKE PEOPLE. And the way to make sure that your gut is healthy is probiotics! One of the easiest, and least expensive ways to get billions of these things in you a day is with eating fermented foods like Sauerkraut.  Here is a link to a REALY interesting article  I found about the science of probiotics, mental health, gut health, becoming healthier.  In a much shorter intro to the benefits of Kraut, here is the gist of it from another article I read pertaining to people as well as animals: History of Sauerkraut Although many people think of sauerkraut a

Espro Coffee Press

Hey guys! I'm back. Sorry I have been gone for such a long time, but here I am, and I'm ready to start talking about food again! Food, and drinks, and a few new tools that I got recently that have changed my life!!! So to start off I want to introduce you to the Espro French Press. This has changed my mornings for good. Normally I am a Starbucks in the morning kind of guy. I do not enjoy making my own coffee, and it never tastes the same as it does when I go to the coffee shop. While we were living in LA we had a k-cup coffee maker and that was nice enough. I used it often, but still loved to take a ride to Starbucks. Now we are back home in NYC, and our kitchen was too small for a coffee maker. So every morning, right after waking up, it was time to head out and walk the 2 blocks to get our coffee. That was all fine and good, but something happened... that something was called WINTER!!! Ugh.... living in LA for a while we forgot what that trek in the cold was like. We nee
