A Look at Burger King’s Latest Whopper Bar in NYC and Their New Pizza Burgers

August 19, 2010 – 4:28 am | by admin

From A Hamburger Today VIEW SLIDESHOW: A Look at Burger King’s Latest Whopper Bar in NYC and Their New Pizza Burgers After Burger King’s successful debut of their modernized Whopper-centric restaurant concept Whopper Bar last March at Universal CityWalk in Orlando, they’ve since opened Whopper Bars in South Beach, Memphis, Spain, Venezuela, Singapore, and their latest, largest, two-story flagship location in New York City by Times Square. Like the other Whopper Bars, the New York City location features create-your-own Whoppers with over 20 topping choices, a special Whopper Menu not available at regular Burger Kings, and a more stylish, roomy environment to eat in. But unlike the other Whopper Bars, there’s this: The New York Pizza Burger ($12.99), a 9-and-a-half-inch wide burger made with four Whopper patties topped with pepperoni, mozzarella cheese, marinara sauce, and Tuscan pesto sauce. It’ll be available exclusively at the New York City Whopper Bar starting in September to fulfill that longtime desire for a giant burger that sort of tastes like a pizza. As Adam is the resident pizza and burger fiend (and just reviewed a pizza burger , I’ll let him review the burger: I was absolutely starved when Robyn walked into the office with the Pizza Burger…

Dinner Tonight: Pasta with Bacon and Corn ‘Pesto’

August 13, 2010 – 3:56 pm | by admin

From Recipes When it comes down to it, my favorite food is pasta. And if you held a gun to my head, I’d probably say that carbonara is my favorite pasta. I love its creaminess-with-no-cream, the chewy, salty bits of bacon, the roundness of Parmesan, the bite of black pepper. So it’s not with any flippancy that I say that this recipe reminds me of carbonara, and in the best of possible ways. It’s creamy, bacony, and satisfying—yet it’s also a lot lighter and more fitting for summer. The creaminess comes from the starch in the corn, which is blended up with Parmesan and pine nuts to make a “pesto” of sorts that glossily coats the noodles. I found the recipe in Bon Appetit in a feature about ways to use up those staples of summer produce: corn, tomato, and zucchini. The corn is softened in the rendered fat from the bacon, then some of the corn is left unblended to give the pasta more texture. Slivered basil gives the whole dish that unmistakable fragrance of summer, and black pepper lends a hint of spiciness. Ingredients serves 4 4 slices thick bacon, cut into lardons 4 cups fresh corn kernels from about 6 ears 1 large clove garlic, minced salt and pepper to taste 1/2 cup grated Parmesan 1/3 cup pine…

Serious Beer: Mostly Sour American Fruit Beers

July 29, 2010 – 4:01 pm | by admin

[ Photograph: Maggie Hoffman ] Ask a beer fanatic what they’re into these days, and chances are they’ll wax poetic about sour beers. Inspired by the puckery beers of Belgium, American brewers are playing with yeasts and bacteria and fruit like never before. While we’re not really all that interested in who can make the sourest beer imaginable, we’re thrilled at all the great, creative options coming out of American breweries. Some of these delectable examples are juicy, zippy, and full of real fruit flavor; others are funky and horsey, quite challenging for the beginner—and sometimes thrilling to the nerdiest among us. These aren’t beers for chugging in front of a game; they’re complex sips that demand your full attention. We consider ourselves very lucky to have gotten a taste. Serious Beer Ratings ***** Mindblowing; a new favorite **** Awesome, stock up on this *** Around average for the style ** There are probably better options * No, thanks, I’ll have water. Captain Lawrence Rosso e Marrone New York, Unknown ABV This sour brown ale fermented with grapes and aged in wine barrels may be hard to get your hands on. It’s glorious, though, with a scent of licorice pastilles and mellow oak, spice cookies, and red wine. It’s tart, rich and sour, with notes …

Cook the Book: Fried Green Tomatoes

July 17, 2010 – 12:13 pm | by admin

From Recipes “Make sure not to overcook your tomatoes—anything darker than a light golden brown and the tomatoes will turn to mush.” [Photographs: Caroline Russock] After frying up a batch of exemplary fried okra I decided to use the still-hot oil to fry the green tomatoes I had picked up at the farmers’ market. Fried Green Tomatoes I’ve tried before ranged from forgettable to truly transcendent (fried green tomatoes Benedict, anyone?)—but I’d never made them from scratch. With tomato season just beginning, I was anxious to see how my lovely green tomatoes would fry up. John Ferrell ’s recipe from Mary Mac’s Tea Room uses a small amount of cracker crumbs in the coating for an added element of crunchiness and a milk and egg milk dip to make sure the coating sticks to the tomato slices. The seasoning is simply salt and pepper which allows the tart, tangy flavors of the tomatoes really come through. There are two key factors that contribute to the success of the fried green tomatoes. The first is choosing tomatoes that are green but just a bit pliant to the touch. Not only will rock-hard green …

Dinner Tonight: Steamed Tofu with Shrimp and Black Bean Sauce

July 9, 2010 – 9:18 pm | by admin

From Recipes [ Photograph: Nick Kindelsperger ] Is there anything more boring than steamed tofu? I adore tofu when it’s pan-fried, or slipped into some luxurious sauce. But I tend to pass the steamed version as quickly as possible. So why did I settle on this recipe from Food and Wine ? Maybe it was the fermented black beans, which lend a meatiness to everything they touch. I can safely say, I was thinking more of the shrimp than the tofu when digging into this dish. But now all I can think about is the texture of the tofu. It was very delicate, but still firm. I loved the way it latched onto the sauce, and almost preferred it to the shrimp. It’s not the most exciting dish in the world, and some Sriracha wouldn’t be out of place. But the key to this dish? It feels restorative and clean, which I’m sometimes in the mood for. Steamed Tofu with Shrimp and Black Bean Sauce – serves 2 to 3 – Ingredients 1/2 cup fermented black beans 1 1/2 pounds firm tofu (two 1 1/2-inch-thick squares), both cut into 8 triangles 3 tablespoons vegetable oil 24 medium shrimp (about 10 ounces), shelled and deveined Salt and pepper 1/4 cup fresh ginger, thinly julienned 2 garlic cloves…

Target’s Exclusive Ben & Jerry’s Flavors: Berry Voluntary & Brownie Chew Gooder

June 29, 2010 – 2:51 am | by admin

“In the pun-filled flavor world of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream, Brownie Chew Gooder is a classic, at least in name alone.” [Photographs: Brad Thomas Parsons] Recently Ben & Jerry’s released an exclusive Flourless Chocolate Cake flavor available only at Walmart. (Technically, the flavor isn’t a true Walmart exclusive, but Walmart seems to be the only place where you can actually find this “Limited Batch.”) This unlikely partnership immediately sparked some concern among the Serious Eats community, and even as the pros of this partnership were brought up, many people seemed to overlook the merits of the flavor itself. And now, Ben & Jerry’s kicks off summer with two new flavors: Berry Voluntary and Brownie Chew Gooder, which you’ll only find at another big-box retailer, Target. And if the names didn’t give it away, this partnership helps foster volunteerism. You can visit Scoop It Forward to identify volunteering opportunities in your local community. And to sweeten the deal, after you make your volunteer promise you can earn a coupon for a free pint of Ben & Jerry’s, redeemable at Target (while supplies last).* *Dear Ben & Jerry’s, why isn’t any of this information on your website? Berry Voluntary Raspberry…

Cakespy: Black and White Ice Cream Sandwich Cookies

June 28, 2010 – 10:15 pm | by admin

From Recipes Jessie Oleson (aka Cakespy ) drops by every Monday to share a delicious dessert recipe. —The Mgmt. [ Photographs and original illustrations: Cakespy ] Paul Simon once sang that “everything looks worse in black and white.” Clearly, the guy had never sampled a black and white ice cream sandwich cookie. Starting out with the classic New York deli treat and sandwiching it with chocolate and vanilla ice cream, this is basically a trinity of awesome: cakey cookies, sweet frosting, and creamy, rich ice cream. In fact, there’s only one thing about this black and white treat that might give you pause: if you choose to alternate the alignment of the frosting and ice cream flavors, which side do you eat first? Black and White Ice Cream Sandwich Cookies – makes about 12 sandwiches – Black and White cookies adapted from Ready for Dessert by David Lebovitz Ingredients For the cookies: 2 cups flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 6 tablespoons whole milk 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature 2/3 cup granulated sugar 2 large eggs, at room temperature For the icing(s): 2 cups plus 2 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar (keep a little extra on hand in case needed) 2 teaspoons plus 2 teaspoons light corn syrup 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice 1 teaspoon vanilla …

Toronto cupcake bike riding group

June 5, 2010 – 8:15 am | by admin

From The Toronto Star comes news of a cupcake bike ride! Hyedie Hashimoto’s idea of a sweet ride is hopping on her black road bike and zipping across Toronto from bakery to bakery, sampling cupcakes. Call it a kind of culinary biking tour. There are definitely enough cupcake shops across town to support one. “I just have a sweet tooth,” says Hashimoto, a 32-year-old graphic designer. “Tying in cupcakes was tying something fun into biking.”… Her first ride, from OMG Baked Goods on Dundas St. W. at Dufferin St. for chocolate vegan cupcakes to Icing on the Cake on Queen St. E. via the Martin Goodman Trail, took place April 3. Only one other rider showed up, she laughs. However, last Saturday’s sophomore ride down Bloor St. fared better. Four women met up at Hot Oven Bakery on Bloor St. W. at Runnymede Rd. before cycling west to High Park to take part in Bells on Bloor, a cycle parade to support bike safety in the city. Within minutes, baked treats and cycling stories of first bikes — and first accidents — were being swapped. photo by Chantal Braganza For
