A great night out was had by six of us crammed into the tiny but fantastic Bar Jamon (Mario Battali and Andy Nusser's new joint on 17th Street and Irvington). They are due to open a bigger place next door but for now get great Spanish wines and delicious small things and feel like you are somewhere else.

Aint No Crime / NO MORE GRIMES

Mr Grimes said that in 2001 the two best burgers were DB Bistro and Dim Sum Go Go. In the window of DSGG there is a sign,
DB Bistro Burger $27.50
Dim Sum Go Go $8.95 for 4
I never had the DBBB but for sure the DSGG rocks the burger dept.
the bun is steamed and the burger slippery delish, maybe made with pork and beef tendon plus toes hoof and tail, textured more like sausage to me, so move over Jimmy Dean, and the taro fries so crisp and clean with more texture than potato....HOME RUN

Cops Seize 756 Pounds of Smuggled Bologna
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Published: November 24, 2003

EL PASO, Texas (AP) -- Border agents last week landed a meaty bust, seizing 756 pounds of bologna arranged into the shape of a car seat and covered with blankets in a man's pickup.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers seized 81 rolls of Mexican bologna Friday at the Paso Del Norte bridge as the pickup entered the United States.

``It puts the ultimate consumer at risk,'' said customs spokesman Roger Maier. ``Who knows how long these products have gone without refrigeration or without proper handling?''

Children were sitting on top of the illegal load before it was discovered, Maier said. The rear seat had been removed from the extended-cab pickup and the bologna was put in its place.

He said the agency plans to pursue civil penalties against the Mexican man driving the truck. Maier said the agency won't release the man's name until the case goes to trial.

Maier said the bologna goes for about $1 a roll in Juarez. When it is sold to a customer in the United States, it can go for between $5 and $10 a roll , he said.

WHEN it says on PAGE SIX that you're quitting, you're quitting. We reported way back in August 2002 that NewYork Times restaurant critic William "Biff" Grimes would not be returning from a mysterious leave of absence. A Times spokesman said then there was no reason "for us to be discussing a succession." Grimes did return - but not for long. Yesterday, an internal memo obtained by Nation's Restaurant News confirmed that Grimes will cease reviewing at the end of the year. He's expected to continue writing features for the paper. No word on his replacement.

Last nite was my last nite out on the town for 2003......

Starting out at Fiamma for some tasty grub, white truffles are not great this year and damn expensive but due to some star power we were juiced up, I brought some great old wine, and we were off, Kobe beef over Arugula was a home run to finish the meal, East meets West.......

Than off to wd~50 to try some new creations by the two best talents in NY, a Nantuket Scallop dish that easly goes to the top of the wd charts (its getting to be a long list), I wanted to order 2 more plates but was calmed by a Char treat, both of these may soon to be on the menu, do not miss them, than 2 desserts from the menu, one was Pear 5 Ways AWESOME, than what could actually be the best dessert since the kumquat bliss left the rotation, Concord Grape Sorbet / Goat Cheese Panna Cotta / Port Wine Foam/ etc SCARY AMAZING.....nobody in NY comes close to these guys, NOBOBY.....

Letter From Dad


Steve, After I made my proposal to the Portland School Board regarding irradiated meat in the school lunch program, they asked the Physicians for Social Responsibility for their opinion and this is a draft of what they will send to Oregon School Districts. I feel tremendously validated as they added the probable social effects to the scientific background that I had told them of. The sigma represent bullets in the original doc.
