Newport Steaks and Twinkie Shame

By on November 17, 2012

Haven’t had a Twinkie in like 20 years.  But hearing the news, suddenly craved one like never before.  Childhood memories replayed – the white box high atop the fridge, out of reach of small hands.  Chemically un-natural but oddly tasty yellowish cake, tightly hugging post apocalptic-approved cream.  The cream…

Tacos de Pescado

By on September 28, 2012

If you hit the Hottie Hottie Hot Sauce from last week, you’ll need a little something-something to drizzle that sweet heat on.   And you remember the Mango Salsa and Perfect Guac.  Let’s bring it all together into one bad-ass fish taco.  

 
The Goods:

2 ice-cold bottles of Modelo Especial,…

Winner Winner. Chicken Dinner.

By on June 16, 2012

So we do this “quick order” thing on Fresh Direct (the web-based grocery delivery service we use in the city).  It pulls up your last order, and usually like 80% of the stuff you want again, so you add/delete as necessary and it’s quicker than ordering from scratch.  But…

Nephew Ry was in town last week, playing at Carnegie Hall (he got there one way, I got up there via the Q local).   So we hosted the extended fam at The Room for dinner the night before.  And what to serve…   A couple weeks ago, this…

Chicken Piccata. Old School, man. Old School.

By on December 3, 2011

Chicken Piccata.  There’s a dish you won’t find in the cutting-edge Manhattan culinary scene.  Well, unless it’s served with caper foam, a savory lemon popsicle and parsley fairy dust.   But I’m not afraid to go Old School on you with the real deal.  Let’s bring it on.  Old…

More Brunch! Challah Vanilla French Toast

By on November 13, 2011

It’s pretty obvious how much GHT is about the brunch.  It’s kind of hard to overstate.  You are home, it’s the weekend, the day is still mostly in front of you.  And there’s bacon.  And sometimes booze.   This week, brunch is Challah vanilla french toast:
The Prep:

Slice Challah, nice…
