Not here - that scooping of the bagel was only to reduce its carb content; it only got cream cheese...lite cream cheese, applied lightly.

Yes - and most likely Tik Tok and Instagram aplenty.

Was that at the new Time Out Market food hall, which took over the old food hall on 14th? Did anything t else look interesting?

A shonda, I tell you!

I think that's fairly reasonable.

This place would probably be included in my Top 5 NYC bagels... Mind you, I'm a mini-bagel person - I want my bagel to be around 75 grams, not 150 like the monster, sandwich-sized bagels. In other words, as bagels once were.

With apéritifs last night, before dinner... Pa amb tomàquet, along with Lomo Iberico and Chorizo Iberico.

Still does - the widget! Releases nitrogen into the beer when the can is opened...https://www.guinness.com/en-us/our-craft/guinness-innovation

Don’t mean to bust anyone’s bubble, but Smart Chicken is Tyson Foods. Possibly not the greatest for quality, but very good for low prices.

Guinnness Pub Draught. 4 pint (well, maybe 14 oz. ) cans for $11.99 at Trader Joe’s. re: the price of Chimay…imagine what that costs when out at a bar in NYC!

In that case, use mustard. Who puts mayo on a sandwich with jamon or salumi?

I would think sirloin/top round. Have you ever been to the jerky place on Canal Street? Ling Kee Beef Jerky There's also a Malaysian beef jerky place in Chinatown...https://malaysiabeefjerky.com/

Go earlier. You don't think that restaurant cooks go when all the tourists are there, do you? Air chilled is good (I buy Bell & Evans if I happen to see a sale in the local supermarket, or BoBo Poultry at Essex Market), but the thing I believe to be most noticeable is the textural difference between a good bird and a battery bird. (This is where pre-salting for a day or two can really help the not-so-great bird).

There once was a ramen cook off, and here’s how I like to doctor my ramen noodles…the sodium content is always a worry with instant ramen, at least for me…

Possibly not the best way to spend your time…you could be fishing!
