THE BEST: Bone Marrow

For years I had enjoyed the bone marrow at Blue Ribbon. However, currently my favorite bone marrow in Manhattan is at Landmarc (179 West Broadway, between Leonard and Worth Street). Three very large marrow bones are served with an onion marmelade and toasted country bread. One of the litttle added features that I like about Landmarc's marrow is that the bones are not cleaned of the bits of meat that cling to the bone. It may not be the most dainty thing to do, but I love picking off these little crisp bits after finishing off the marrow.

I am dissapointed in the egullet "foodie" community-- I thought there would be many more ideas on where to enjoy such a delicious treat.

Don't be disappointed. You asked at a time when some people are actually pursuing outside lives (the nerve! :shock: ) and might not have seen your question. A lot of eG'ing happens at work, you know (so much more interesting than whatever we're being paid to do :wink: ). Patience.

Don't blame eGulleteers – blame New York. I did a search for "marrow" on menupages.com and, besides those already mentioned, there were only six other restaurants listed (interestingly, Landmarc wasn't one of them). And ugh! Half of them apparently shilled themselves in the review section - who would trust a retaurant that had to stoop that low?

And that's only Manhattan. Sorry I can't help you myself, but I hope you get many more responses. Shoot, for all I know, there could be a marrow cart by the ball fields in Red Hook on Sundays :wacko:

Were any of these around before the St John's roasted marrrow dish, or are they all derivative?

Michael Johnson's Steakhouse at Grand Central also served it but not sure if MJ is still in operation.

Of the ones listed above, I've only had the version at Prune and none else. Landmarc is probably next up on my list. You can bet there won't be a pickle salad on their plate.

Prune's version was nice but I could have done without the pickle salad. Something to counterpoint the richness of the marrow bones, just not chopped pickles from a jar, thank you very much.

Sorry. I don't believe Michael Jordan's carries bone marrow anymore.

If you go to Crispo, have some filled pasta, too. Whatever is on the menu. Mmmmmmmm. :biggrin:

(Disclosure: I worked under Frank in my first paying restaurant job, and think that his food is terrific. Especially his pastas.)

I think they have it at Gavroche. I seem to remember another patron getting it as part of her entree and leaving it behind.

I think there's some on the menu at Crispo:

Menupages lists: "Bone Marrow "Arrosto" uva, cipolla confit". (Also, I've just learned that Crispo cures its own guanciale for bucatini alla amatriciana and its own pancetta for spaghetti carbonara.)

I went to Prune for the first time a couple of weeks ago, and ordered the bone marrow appetizer. It's almost identical to St John's parsley and bone marrow salad without a lot of salad. Quite good.

Not quite "Best Bone Marrow" but rather best use of bone marrow:

Boneless rib chops at Ducasse are larded liberally with bone marrow.

You shouldn't eat grouse and woodcock, venison, a quail and dove pate, abalone and oysters, caviar, calf sweetbreads, kidneys, liver, and ducks all during the same week with several cases of wine. That's a health tip.
