The choice of an address to have dinner in Po was made difficult last week by closure(lock) of most of the maids. After the disappointment At Pierre, I wanted to avoid the likely stumbling block to the Fine Gourmet. And then appears of I know where a restaurant opened for 1 year by Thierry Lassala and his wife, the former(ancient) owners of the Good Corner(Place) to Lurbe-Saint-Christau: Ze Bistrot in the district of the castle, the street Henri 4, it does not invent. We speak to me about a good pro, which likes the wine, the product; Thierry Lassala, I am your man, I come to have dinner at home!

Charming welcome(reception) of Madam, which will follow the same line all the dinner, the real happiness. Mâcon from Thévenet in the glass in apéritif, that does not invent either, if I eat some shit after that it is to understand(include) nothing to it.saumon-marine-juste-saisi.JPG There will be fortunately ten thousand questions to settle(arise), a term will be enough: voucher. I would have the second of it: pleasure, because except the citronella without which I would have taken place, my entrance(entry) of salmon marinaded just seized and cooked in the perfection was only a small moment of happiness, flavored well lamb's lettuce, preparation of the palace for the graal which will arrive then. A small draft of high - coast(ribs) - de-nuit, I am ready: rossini veal shank, risoto with truffle. I was not able to resist the suggestion of moment and I did well. A slaughter, a calorie bomb(spray), an almost mystic pleasure, it is round, ample, tender, the truffle crunches(outlines) under the tooth, the foie gras bottom in the throat(breast), the risoto nape the language(tongue), we are in the depths of the happiness.jarret-de-veau-rossini--risotto-a-la-truffe.JPG A piece of back of the knee gets loose, we coat him(it) of sauce, we dip him(it) into the risoto and we pitch(catch) a piece of truffle in the passage, my papillae still remember it, it is I who says it to you!

We shall do without dessert but the Armagnac was not of excess after feasts. Not contrasted balance sheet(assessment), magnificent evening at Ze Bistrot who moreover had a full house this evening (Palois did not make a mistake on in that case). The addition(bill) is completely correct altogether, mine was a little warmer but we know in what expect when there is some foie gras and the truffle, the good wine and the alcohol. Rare thing(matter), when I asked an advice on a wine, a boss advised(recommended) it to me the other one more accomplished and cheaper. If you did not go there yet, I would allow to give you the order I, I shall return to it it is safe(sure).

Palois during 5 years, I heard(understood) it it is that they are chauvinistic these from Bearn 3 restaurants counted and returned ceaselessly to my ears: at Pierre, " the place to be ", the Fine Gourmet and At the water's edge.
At Ruffet? The Inn Labarthe? Lou Capetou (to maintaining Morlanne)? That nenni, those there we preferred to criticize them, easy: 2 be studed Michelin and a strong head, that has to do well to say that it is average. In the time(period), the "new" boss of Olivier*co, François, whom you were able to see in Peking Express (edition(publishing) 2011) put a kick there inside, an evening olive oil at Labarthe, partnerships a good Epicurean the winner! Toast-melba-de-dorade-grise--compotee-d-oignons-rouges-e.JPGLet us specify all the same; I do not say that these restaurants had nobody on the contrary, fortunately that there is only idiots! They were, and stay even today 3 better restaurants of the corner(place), with a beautiful breakthrough of the Unusual Papillae, and Ze bar to come on the blog.

To return in To Pierre, I had dragged there never my gaiters until today, and indeed we shall not see again(revise) me there any more. Institution paloise for some years I want, but they have of the forgotten that we were in 2012. The place begins to make old-fashioned, I can go to tease the cooking(kitchen) of the new landlords on the same ground, but I have nothing against a good old boiled chicken.
We would be entitled to hope for a little of evolution in the cooking(kitchen) and to cross(spend) besides eternal compote of red onions under the net of sea bream, but that there passed still not bad. Just think of announcing that it will not be of the rocket but an odourless mixed salad leaves (without a stalk of rocket) and I accept.Risotto-de-Saint-Jacques-et-langoustines--jus-de-crustaces.JPG I believed to understand(include) that the pressing of duck of my neighbor did not make him(her) do "quack" but the risotto which followed, "gurgling" it is safe(sure), got(touched) poured! A patasse with rice, drowned person under a kind of American, Saint Jacques and scampis the origin nor the mode of cooking of which I do not dare to imagine.
As would say it the waitress " they spoiled you for the veal chop ", it is true that there was some material(subject), on a plate which I could not get(touch) so she(it) had warmed, the coast(rib) was certainly big but extremely cooked, in chanterelles (I would put 15 well petit points) On an air(sight) of " are a little bit stupid you you " we assure me that chanterelles are fresh(cool) I did not know that that grew under the snow and anyway there was only one, cut in 4 in the middle of cultivated mushrooms and of certainly fresh(cool) morels too the pavements of Po have to have a beautiful fertilizer it is I who says it to you.Cote-de-veau-aux-girolles--polenta-a-la-fourme-d-Ambert.JPG H'mm at the idea of a creamy polenta with the French blue-veined cheese of ambert announced, free-running in there, I drool instead of that, a voucher old pieces of motionless polenta cut-and-dried, fast warmed, I still look for the French blue-veined cheese, it had of return to Ambert, too much disappointed by its fate(spell).
I go there a little bit hardly, but it is as high as my disappointment, furthermore I do not like(love) that we take me for an idiot. We would have been able to say to me that the polenta had been moved with passion during one hour, that morels were fresh(cool) that anything in fact to be easy(peaceful).
Fortunately an evening with a good buddy is necessarily a good evening, the wine was good, the whiskey also, and the waitress in spite of its indiscretions, nice. I forgive you half Pierre, but I shall not come any more home...

( Precision: it was can be better in the " big time(period) ")

Alexandre Paget went from Ruffet there in September, leaving his place(square) with Loïc Rapamonti. Party leader of Stéphane Carrade (owner of the place and leader of the Guérinière to Gujan-Mestras) during 5 years, he(it) was previously spent at Edouard's Loubet's, and it is with pleasure that I enjoyed his(her,its) cooking(kitchen) in the noon(south). That does not move, we find the leg of Mister Carrade even if the new young leader seems good in his element.DSCN0371.JPG The lunch of noon(south) in 30€ is always very accomplished. Appetizers remain presented in a original way: beautiful croquette of cheese, is crisp in the county to fall, small velouté(softness) of air lenses and chips of sweet potato, put in appetite direct! One sending the brandade of mule in the fresh(cool) herbs, the octopus in the iodized grilled and sparkling(frothy) sesame oil.DSCN0376.JPG Perfect, as the pollock of line of Saint Jean de Luz, crozets with the cream and the Parmesan cheese, the sheets(leaves) of steelyard in the nutmeg. You imagine well in the title of the dishes that we are in height in the pleasure, the moment savors, that to ask furthermore? In view of the calendar a pancake! It go is in the plate!

It is to have the crown as often as possible that I says to you " adishatz " and that I invite you to pass there if you want to read it still! { There}

And here I am in the subway, the direction(management) Morgan Avenue in the east of Brooklyn. Some place " the island " boho hippy of Robertas in Williamsburg, the others in Bushwick, every 2 districts of the borough of Brooklyn. I do not thus get wet too much by quoting both … However it is a rather striking, interesting, fantastic place?
If premises read to me, they will understand(include) can be not where I want to come there, but the first impression(printing) when we go out of the line L to Morgan Avenue recovers from Menace2Society.morgan avenue Magnificent Graff everywhere, in big amateur of Street Art, I was filled; bands(strips) in Lincoln who cross(spend) slowly in streets, barbed wires, reinforced doors and bars in windows … Wassup niga? (Reference to the movie)

Bogart Street gets closer, I am there even, and here is an enormous building(ship), a small smell of grass in front of a workshop(studio), atmosphere lines squared, to wayfarer, tatoo mcbook and bicycle, of let go! Small wine cellar in the angle of Moore Street, I turn(shoot) and here I am in front of Roberta, the famous restaurant which terrifies the press, Web, and all New York … Brilliant, never we shall see that to us, and it is the strength of the gastronomy to NYC, everything is doable(playable) without in priori nor anything: imagine a shed transformed into restaurant in Sarcelles which comes to tease the big of Paname? No. Way (maybe one day, never say "ever")robertas I am going to break the atmosphere because Robertas was closed because of party(holiday) of the staff. But roughly the concept it is pizza in the campfire, the brunch and the dinner gastroenteritis, personal kitchen garden, the happiness. You can see that that gives in him(it) " fork(range) and rucksack " of beautiful special Julie Andrieu NYC.
Small disappointment all the same, he(it) is going to need to find the other thing(matter) but it does not worry me excessively. The improvisation to NYC was worth me only of beautiful discoveries. In the noon(south) will not be outdone, because behind a half lowered(dimmed) iron curtain was a wonderful small Japanese canteen: " Momo sushi shack " who will have the right(law) for its small comment. Always in the same block of buildings(ships), Swallow Cafe caught my eye, belgium waffel, coffee, of let go!swallow cafe williamsburg I exactly wanted a dessert and a real small black. Filled, the population is just like the corner(place), thirty-year old " smart hippy " "artist", look " commits suicide chorus girls " for the girls, the waffle(honeycomb) $(6) is good, the coffee(café) $(2.25) also and soft drinks let us not speak about it; Wifi free to give news, stopping place we cannot any more nice.
For the addicts in pizzas, we blew me during my ballad " williamsburgienne " that the best were the ones from Pauli Glee to "Greenpoint" and Saraghina to "Bedstuy". divers 8359dqsBrooklyn became the Mecca of the New York gastronomy, you can notice it everywhere. With the " Brooklyn fare " (3 Michelin stars) at the head(top) of line and heaps of good addresses of all kinds everywhere, of "Blue Bottle Café" temple of the small American south grain(bead) in the food trucks of any origins, Mile End, Roberta, The famous Nathan etc. … In good gastronome you will not can pass besides the borough famous.
But he(it) is time(weather) for me to resume(to take back) the subway and to leave Bogart St, not without having made a big tour(ballot) of the district, crossing an artist preparing his(its) wall and to be fed to me of graff and on unknown views(sights) for us. See ya next in Williamsburg with Momo Sushi Shack.

I could not imagine my New York stay without a passage in a studed institution Michelin. Daniel Boulud seeming to me to embody the success the American way in the gastronomy, a flagship 3 stars and dispatchées entities, grocer's shop, bar, sausage, of which to satisfy everybody: here is my address!
Reservation is taken: Daniel in the upper east side.
Welcome(Reception) red carpet of big house, rigorous jacket lent for my part, white cosmos in the bar, it left. Service pro from pro you suspect it, many French people in the team, himself Daniel Boulud is, installation in a beautiful plump banquette in an arc, seen on the room and the ceaseless merry-go-round(riding school) of the place there, I like. Appetizers around the sweet potato, it is good, sweet, salty, perfectly mastered. Entrances(entries), ravioli in artichokes are explosive, the dish(flat) leaves everywhere and delighted papillae.Daniel raviolis Quite how just Saint Jacques seized condiment buddha's hand, delicious! "Sea scalop" are incredibly plump and delicious, the condiment spins the boost and the accompaniment am the troop, really very well. We could speak about the "greedy" term for dishes but they missed regrettably grace(favor) and a thumb(inch) of refinement. Swordfish in the bacon in sections (imagine, it is easy), cream of cucurbitacés and Wolf wipes syrah, Bavarian cream in the fennel. That plays, but bigger blues than small sonata, that is supposed to be, but all the same with difficulty for the second section of swordfish in the bacon. The wolf he, stays in ropes, remarkable cooked piece perfectly, the sauce follows the rhythm, it is good.daniel St Jacques Artistic felt(smelt) well desserts, it is beautiful, good, there are some material(subject), the warmth, the cold, played well!

Without speaking about the cooking(kitchen) which plays the diapason of a big "international" house 3 stars, the place is charming, the staff of a professionalism and a kindness in any tests(events) and Daniel Boulud whom we were lucky to have at our table a long moment, high-octane gasoline! Easy term, but what a pleasure to discuss with him, of the cooking(kitchen) in New York and the excitement that he(it) reigns there ceaselessly, of France also (he(it) is of Lyon) and of the emergence of all our leaders' new generation, him too, let us remain " corporate " one is in States and I like!Daniel tout choco He(It) will make us enjoy one of his(its) desserts all chocolate, me who am not too much shock ', big moment of happiness! The black not dominating, there was all that it was necessary for me, delicious. Festival of sweet petits-fours, basket of madeleines taken(brought) out of the oven, the small cakes, the tray(plateau) of chocolate, greed when you hold us!
I crossed(spent) a wonderful evening at Daniel, and nothing was made "accidentally"("by chance"), art to receive! The price(prize) to be paid for this small moment of happiness is not derisory certainly, but it is held. I have of in credit note for in little meadows $400 all inclusive in 2 (cocktails(cocktail parties) and wine bottle), we are not rolled, far from there (made the comparative degree with one 3 mac Parisian, you will see). You will have understood that I crossed(spent) an evening not far from being magic in the Upper East Side, do not hesitate during a New York stay to take it dinner your "coil" and Happy New Year!!!

My collection(quest) of good addresses across the Atlantic did not once stop(arrest) feet put in New York. On the contrary, my list grew rich on the spot further to advice(councils), readings in particular that of evening: feet in ranges(fans) on the bed of my hotel room, an article under eyes dealt with the arrival of Quebecois cooks endowed for the gustative pleasures, among them: Noah Bernamoff. That this particularly held attention. Young lad of Montreal arrived at NYC to follow his(her) New Yorker of girlfriend met at the university Mc Gill. He preferred to prepare his smoked meat in his apartment for the buddies rather than to attend(take) his class(course) in Brooklyn law school. It is thus naturally that he(it) stops(arrests) the faculty to create his(its) "déli", Mile end (Of the name of a labor Jewish district of Montreal) in full Brooklyn. Her(it) " smoked meat " what is in Montreal that the pastrami is in New York, and mister Bernamoff masters her(it) Of Montreal smoked meat.mile-end.JPG

mile-end2.JPG If I say it to you it is because I crunched(outlined) it, arrived at begging 3 pm, they made an exception (break(break dance) between 15 and 17 o'clock) and thus allowed me to sit at the table to me to enjoy that. I have to be the only one not to have made Kat' z for his(her,its) pastrami, it will be for the next, always is him(it) that I did not regret this small moment in the Mile End. The team which would have been able to pull a face to have a relou at 3 pm the woman of which cracks a lamp (we repaired him(it) nickel with a cook) rather showed itself very nice. My smoked meat sandwich a small glass of white wine, big smile! One of the cooks recommends me to mean one evening enjoying their other specialities, explains me the difference between the pastrami and their smoked meat (spices etc.) Intrigued by their magnificent crisp gherkins, I learn that they make quite house, until the maceration of their pickles, magnificent!
Here is the magnificent toilet that I can only recommend you. I enjoyed only their smoked meat sandwich but do not absolutely doubt the quality besides, Putin, wilensky ruth and other one Of the Montreal style Bagel, Jewish style! That you are déliphile or not, cross(spend) the door of the Mile End for a small moment of Quebecois happiness tabernacle!

Inspired by Sonia Ezgulian's recipe(takings), here is a very greedy dish(flat) which will make for you travel. A small blow of Italy, a small blow of Eastern European country(countries) by the sauce and the spirit Keftas of the small balls of meat. That tempts not?
Ingredients for 4 persons: for the dough: 500g of flour, 1 egg, 20cl of water, 1cc of olive oil. For balls: 1kg of minced meat, 2 onions, 1 bunch of flat-leaved parsley, 1cs of olive oil. To finish, 5Og of butter, 60cl of broth of poultry, 150 of the beaten yoghurt or the cottage cheese in the unpasteurized milk or still the Greek yoghurt mixed with a little cream, a clove of garlic and about fifteen chopped mint leaves, salt and pepper.
We are going to begin with the dough: make a well in the flour, put the egg, the olive oil and the salt in the middle and begin to work the dough by paying(pouring) the water little by little. She(it) is going to put itself at first in fragments then, as one goes along, the ball of dough is going to shape, if it remains really too dry, add just a little water, she was have to be elastic. Make a beautiful ball and reserve her(it) under a linen. Preheat the oven in 180°C.bien2Chisel the parsley and the onions in small dices, mix in the meat and add the olive oil, salt, pepper and mix very strongly the set(group). To separate your ball of dough in smaller 4, and there, either you have a machine with dough to flatten, or you take(bring) out the rolling pin and you are made arms! That has to give too thick(not too thick), not transparent bands(strips) of about twenty cm either … Cut small squares of dough and put down(deposit) a ball of meat in the center of every square. Return angles to shape small opened "candies". Butter a dish(flat) with tart and tidy up your ravioli in a row inside. Strew small dices of butter and put in the oven for 30mn, they must be slightly colored and crunchy. Once this sold time(weather), cast anchor in the broth of poultry, he does not either have to cover everything, and put in the oven again for 5-10mn that ravioli stuff themselves a lot of broth. In parallel, you will have mixed well your yoghurt with the chopped garlic, the mint, a dash of olive oil, you will have consequently(accordingly) enjoyed and flavored him(it). You do not have more than to serve your dish(flat) of ravioli coated by yoghurt it is a delight! Good appetite.
