  1. the breakers in spring lake. across the street from the ocean and they have a lovely porch for cocktails. i woul not call the food gourmet but it is good and the location is nice and being a hotel is very convenient for out of towners.

    i have been to many evenings at the molly pitcher and that would be my first choice. it is also a hotel with wonderful food and some great clubs with lots to do the next day for anyone that stays over.

  2. drove about 60 mi on fri night to go turkish. well worth it. we had the table next to the glass so my son who was exhausted from camp could watch the chef. he saw how tired my son looked and had a great hot plate of fried potato for him before we even had water. tomatoe/cuc salad, cheese and spinach spring rolls, cheese pita, mixed meats, lamb soup, and sliced meat over cubed with a red sauce and yougrt. the meat over bread was WONDERFUL. we had the rice pudding and a pistachio dessert i dont know the name of. we also oredered an appetizer with bulgar and tomatoe that we didnt care for. the waitress came asked if anything was wrong and we said we just didnt care for it and she offered to take it off the bill. thats how the whole evening went. perfect.

    i had the print out in car from the website and i gave it to the folks there and they were very pleased.

  3. grew up not far mastoris, huge diner huge menu huge desserts. if you travel a few more minutes into chambersburg around trenton there are some steller restarants. the ddc is having a dinner next week at place called mambo that is not far off. never been but looking forward to trying it.

  4. Thank you, everyone. You've been a great help.  I can see many polenta-filled vistas opening up ahead of me... :smile:  And EJRothman,  thanks for the tipe. I will definitely try to seek out that spelt pasta. 

    Cheers to all of you! :biggrin:

    i am pretty much wheat free myself and i love rice noodles and mung bean noodles. you can get some great thai recipes from the package and their websites.

    good luck, i have to walk pizza shops every day with my 7 yr old.

  5. Hmm, wouldn't that soften up that nice crust you just made?

    It might, but the Lobel's grilling guide that came with the steaks does indeed say to add oil after searing, not before. Has anyone tried this method? All I know is that after reading all the Lobel's threads, I did not oil the steaks before putting them in my cast iron pan (no access to grill). While they were still fantastic, they did not develop a great crust...mainly because the s & p stuck to the cast iron. I don't know, maybe it wasn't hot enough.

    i did just as lobel suggested with sear then oil. i added little sugar to the salt and p[epper and did them in a non stick pan and they were perfect. i think as good as lugar's desperately wanted to grill them but the rain was torrential.

  6. Grilled is just fine, thats how Evan Lobel prepared the Wagyu at the Lobel dinner at Morrells on Wednesday.

    Oil each side of the meat with canola or oilve oil, kosher salt and pepper. Grill 2 to 3 minutes per side, finish off in the broiler. Let rest for 5 or 10 minutes, cut into slices and top with a sprinkle of kosher salt yet again. Has to be eaten rare.

    i would have loved that dinner...how wonderful was it

  7. just in>>my lobel and wagyu steaks. i did not get a cast iron as i had hoped and am cooking these test taste steaks tonight. should i us a le creuset pan ??? or a calphalon, also there is always the grill but from what i have been reading that is not the best choice

  8. My husband picked up a brisket this morning to be smoked for dinner tomorrow.  I had to pop by the house on my lunch break, and peeked in the refrigerator.  To my horror, he had purchased a rather thin, longish, fully trimmed Costco brisket.

    Now, I know very little about the manly art of cooking with fire and smoke, but I'm pretty sure we would've wanted one with some fat on it.  My question- can this thing be used?  Would the lack of fat mean simply we would do a lot of mopping?

    how about brining it? just got a smoker this week and will use it this weekend for the first time. i have read hundreds of articles this week and they mostly seem to suggest brining

  9. i arrived home last night to find an brand spanky new smoker sittin on my doorstep. a wonderful surprise gift. i want my first time to be wonderful. what should i do first ? i was thinking about a duck or should i stay with brisket or a butt? also, any wood ideas?

  10. 2 - 8 oz. wagyu sirloins, to be delivered just in time for our first anniversary!  only cost me 8.93.  i feel naughty!

    i cant take it anymore. i have to have that wagyu beef. i am going to order today. let me know how yours turns out

  11. so i'm ordering 4 steaks from lobels.  and i suggest you all do the same here.

    the thing is, i've only got 2 friends.  that leaves me with an extra steak.  i'd rather not freeze the thing and sit on 1 steak for any amount of time.  any ideas on what i can do with 1 10 oz strip steak?  tartare or something maybe?  some sort of app?  maybe i should just eat 2 for dinner?

    without an extra thought i would just eat 2.

    is this the ultra good ultra expensive wagyu meat

    i have not yet had the pleasure myself

  12. :cool: i bot a deep fryer a few years back and LOVE it, turkey, duck, chicken etc. i remember when i bot it there was a recipe for deep fried prime rib along with many commentaries that once you have it deep fried you won't want it any other way. i can't find the recipe , timing or anything about it. anybody ??
