JP Eats Food Blog. Welcome to my food (and wine) blog. I am very lucky to enjoy good food and wine pretty frequently. I also spend a good deal of time learning and experimenting with both. The point of this blog is to share some of that with you as well as help me remember foods, wines, and little bits and pieces of information I pick up along the way. I rarely take pictures in nice restaurants, so most of what you see here comes from my kitchen, my friends' kitchens, or various casual and local hot spots. You can hit the archive, or never miss a post with rss.
Fried chicken at The Dutch. Former NY Times food critic Sam Sifton recently called The Dutch NYC’s best new restaurant and I won’t argue; it’s hard to find a better casual meal in a better atmosphere in the city. The fried chicken was great—crispy, juicy, and nicely seasoned. The honey butter biscuits in the background were even better. At this lunch, oysters and a smoked beef sandwich were also delicious. Go at off times or sit at the oyster bar to avoid the crowds and enjoy some great food.
