I trot out a bar snack now and again. And again. Umm, and again. This one’s so easy, knocking off what we had with friends D&J at David Burke Kitchen on the bare edge of SoHo. Served at the bar while our table was getting ready. A good night, the evening devolved into karaoke at BiNY where SoHo meets TriBeCa at Canal. Note this, friends: AC/DC is not a good karaoke choice. It’s just way too high and sustained. But we did kill it with Every Rose Has Its Thorn.
- Grissini – the fancy word for skinny breadsticks.
- Mustard oil.
- Canola oil.
- A glass that will hold the breadsticks up.
The Execution:
Pour equal parts of the oils into the glass. Stand up the breadsticks in the glass. And there you have it. I cut the mustard oil with the canola oil because the straight mustard oil will burn your face off.
The Takeaway:
It’s good to have little riffs like this in your back pocket. For the unexpected cocktail party (it happens). Or a nosh for dinner party arrivals. The first guests are announced, and during their elevator ride up this little ditty appears. In 37 seconds.
p.s. – Awesome time at Camp Blogaway last weekend – met lots of good people with blogs that are just crazy good.
