WINE BRAISED FENNEL WITH CHESTNUTS
Ilva / Lucullian delights

Chestnuts are one of those seasonal foods that I always look forward to, I like to go out and collect them although this year I never got around to do it, time passes too fast and I so wonder how I managed to do so much more just a couple of years ago. I suppose I took the time to do what I wanted to do (and not wanted to do as well). I ...

Camino's Egg Baked in Cream
Www.thewednesdaychef.com

Can a dinner be called adorable? If, say, it consists of one delicate little egg sitting sweetly atop a bed of herbed, tender leeks, bathed in a fillip of cream and gently dusted with salt and pepper, then I would say yes. Besides, anything served in a nice, white ramekin is just so cute. Did I just lose all my male readers with that? I'm ...

Two dogs. Chili and mustard. And a Lime Rickey.
Meals / MealMe

Two delicious Sabrett-style, natural casing hotdogs with their special chilli, which is more like a spicy onion relish really. I like it with a bit of mustard and wash it down with a Lime Rickey (Lime soda with grenadine-not the same as a Shirley Temple; much better). Boulevard drinks is, without a doubt, the best hotdog restaurant in Jersey City.
