Last week we spent part of the afternoon exploring a new, improved community garden in Harlem. It was a rundown plot of land, but now, thanks to a Herculean renovation by the Food Network, Share Our S...
This week on Good Food, we got a taste of what it would be like if Evan Kleiman covered New York instead of L.A.! We get a Good-Food-style tour of the Union Square Greenmarket, a special interview wit...
New York Times food tester, blogger and weblogger Jill Santopietro is our tiny kitchen hero. She's a funny, creative and engaging cook. But even better, she really knows what she is doing and she do...
For the sake of those of you who have this little television nugget on TiVo and plan to save it for the weekend, we'll keep the answer below the jump. For those of you who have some things to discuss ...
The final four have moved down to New Orleans for the finale (Hello, Emeril!), and we would have eaten just about anything that came out of the kitchen in last night's episode. Beignets, check. Gri...
Ours would not be squab, we'll tell you that. But squab and peas is what Jacques Pépin would want for his last meal, so that's what Carla cooked. Lydia Bastianich asked for roast chicken. Wylie...
Have you ever seen someone skin an eel? It's fascinating. Last night's episode of Top Chef was on par with the standards we expect: a high-stakes test of skills, no cheap sponsor challenges, and a ...

Given the snow coming down outside our window here in New York, the setting of last night's episode of Top Chef—the sunny landscape of Dan Barber's Stone Barns—was almost cruel. It was sort of ...

On last night's Top Chef, we got Martha Stewart, Natasha Richardson, the Harlem Gospel Choir, and dishes inspired by the 12 Days of Christmas. It was dizzying (these one hour and 15 minute episodes...
No, no, no Gene. No thumbs up. You served deconstructed surf-and-turf sushi at Gail Simmons's bridal shower, then neglected to tell the guests how to eat it. We won't reveal here whether or not Gen...

If Mayor Bloomberg has his way, stores will have to start charging 6 cents for every plastic bag they hand out to shoppers. What do you think? At first it might seem like a no-brainer good idea, but c...

As we've told you before, we're always looking for breakfast inspiration, and ways to make the most perfunctory meal of the day more interesting. That's why we were thrilled to get New York Magazine'...
We frequently show you what's popping up at the Union Square and Grand Army Plaza Greenmarkets, but there are many small markets tucked into corners of the city that deserve a mention. One of these i...
