Location:

NYC

Best meal I ever ate:

Years ago, I twice received as thank you's for taking on special projects AmEx gift certificates for dinner for two, no price limit. I chose Four Seasons and Le Bernardin. I didn't want to be too excessive, so we kept each meal around $350 including wine. For a young professional on a budget, and a foodie even then, it was like a ticket to heaven.

My current drink of choice:

We buy Matua Sauvignon Blanc by the case

My "Go-to" dinner party dish:

Pasta with mixed shellfish, in a light tomato/wine broth - 1/2 clove garlic MAX.

My favorite comfort food:

Fried clams (it's a New England thing...)

My most tattered cookbooks:

A 1970's Joy Of Cooking, James Beard, and a box of index cards mostly w/NY Times recipes stapled on them (pre-web)
