Cheesy Potatoes That I made Last Night

A recipe look-up….

So recently my mom asked me to look up a recipe for scalloped potatoes for our dinner for Resurrection Sunday. I did, fairly easy job. I showed her the recipe and the ingredients for it. She looked them over and said “okay”. That was that. I didn’t print it nor did I write it out thinking that I would just show it to her on Sunday and it would be fine. Well Sunday rolled around and The Kid and I went to church in the morning. We got back and after I made us a snack, I worked on a blog post. I was done fairly late considering I was supposed to show my mom the recipe.

The News….

A few weeks ago my mother told me that a local restaurant called Heights Tavern had closed and Crazy Annie’s had replaced it. Now Heights Tavern was a breath of fresh air to the area when it first opened. The decor was like that of the upper west and east side restaurants of Manhattan. A nice change to most of the dull and out-dated restaurants in the area. They had different food which was of good quality and had outdoor seating, even providing interesting brunch options like corn flake crusted french toast. The quality of food, service and care went down after a while. There would be issues with our servers not caring if we were taken care of. People frequented the restaurant less while my husband and I stopped all together.

The Brindle Burger: Quest for the Best Burger in NYC

Does it not make your mouth water?

The Journey Begins…

My husband and I stumbled upon a video, NYC’S Best Burger, Explained on the YouTube channel First We Feast (which btw has interesting content) that was the Brindle Room burger from Brindle Room. The burger’s name is actually Sebastian’s Steakhouse Burger and it is the only burger on the menu. My husband and I have an affinity for burgers. We have actually been on a journey to find the best burgers in Manhattan so we needed to try this delicious looking burger from the video. The one drawback it had was the stigma of being called the “best” in that food category. When given that title, it usually is not. You put yourself on a high pedestal that usually you can’t live up to.

Well after we saw the video, I wanted to do two things: 1. Taste the “best” burger & 2. See if it actually is the best burger because I love food. I love eating great food and I love creating food which I hope turns out to be great.
