Andrew Carmellini Gives Us a Little Taste

AndrewCarmellini.com Carmellini made pierogies with farmer's cheese for fun or for research?!

Looks like Andrew Carmellini—who mastered rustic Italian at Locanda Verde and is opening a new spot in Soho this fall—is hard at work in his kitchen. Today, he posted this photo of homemade pierogies on his personal blog. Are they simply the result of recipe testing for his new cookbook, or an indication of what we can expect from the "internationally-influenced menu" at his upcoming restaurant?

The Stracciatella "di Burrata" (250g, around $8) was one of the greatest pleasures I've introduced my mouth to in a good long time. Serious Eats approves of Eataly's cheese selection.

Riesling And Lobster Rolls Do Mix

Matt Duckor

On the eve of the holiday weekend, wine writer Tyler Florence, aka Dr. Vino, wonders if lobster rolls, which are practically required eating for Labor Day, are impossible to pair with wine. We turned to Dovetail Wine Director and class photo vet Amanda Reade Sturgeon to resolve the matter. A glass of Riesling does the trick, she says. "Depending on amount of mayo used, the acidity can cut right through it," explains Sturgeon. "Herbal notes of celery and the stone fruit and floral character of wine matches the sweet meat nicely."

Take Advantage of the Exodus and Cut the Wait for Dinner

Kate Lord The first floor dining room at the Spotted Pig.

When the city clears out for long weekends, those who remain revel in the slower pace. That means easier reservations, and when it comes to places that don't take them, shortening those notoriously long waits (The Spotted Pig, Ssam Bar). To take advantage, consult Feast List: No Reservations Necessary.

Another common yarn, largely unsubstantiated, is that 19th century Yiddish stage star Boris Thomashevsky created the drink after sampling something called a “chocolat et crème” during a Parisian tour. Edible Manhattan explores the provenance of New York's egg cream soda.

Four Seasons in World's Top 10 Most Beautiful Dining Rooms

Food & Wine chose just one American restaurant for a slideshow of the most beautiful dining rooms in the world: New York's Four Seasons where "celebrities from President John F. Kennedy to Heidi Klum have nestled in the banquettes." Noma, Rene Redzepi's Copenhagen stunner (voted best restaurant in the world) also made the cut. [Food & Wine]

Eataly Founder Calls NYC the World's Most Important City, Loves American Flour

To view this video you must to have Flash Player 9.0 or later installed. Click to download the most recent version of Flash.

There are some specific differences between the original Eataly in Turin and Flatiron's new Italian megamarket, founder Oscar Farinetti explains to Feast TV. Beyond the produce, the flour is so "fantastic" in America (high protein, high gluten he says in a mellifluous accent we wish our grandfather had) that there's no need to import Italian grain. Farinetti also gives insight into a project we spent three years anticipating: He toured 200 to 300 spaces with the Bastianiches before landing on Fifth Avenue. While the first U.S. location was destined for New York, that doesn't mean it will be the last on our shores. [The Feast]

Gabrielle Hamilton, Francis Lam at Free Food Writing Panel

The massive and free Brooklyn Book Festival takes place at Brooklyn Borough Hall on September 12 (with festivities pegged to the event running all weekend), and it wouldn't be an accurate snapshot of the literary world today without a few food writers thrown into the mix. Out of 200 authors speaking at the event, Prune chef and memoirist Gabrielle Hamilton, James Beard Award-winning Southern cookbook author Ted Lee, Salon's Francis Lam, and Eating for Beginners writer Melanie Rehak convene at 2 P.M. on North Stage. Topics of discussion include such concerns as "Do chefs ever get the equivalent of writer’s block in the kitchen?" and "Do food writers ever lose their appetite after a difficult day at the keyboard?"
