The New School Face of Old World Brooklyn Cuisine
Most major cities can lay claim to one or two signature dishes. San Francisco has sourdough and cioppino. Boston is known for cream pie and baked beans. Philly is associated with cheesesteaks. Cincinnati piles chili on top of spaghetti. But the vibrant, incomparably diverse food culture of Brooklyn has truly shaped the way New York eats, with an unprecedented array of undeniably iconic foods.
Read MoreQ & A with Luksus’ Chef Daniel Burns
You may not immediately recognize the name Daniel Burns, but the soft-spoken chef is more than ok with that. Besides, when you have a resume that includes Senior Chef de Partie at The Fat Duck in England (which earned its third Michelin star during his time there), René Redzepi’s lauded Danish restaurant, Noma (he actually created and ran the pastry program), and three years as Head of Research and Development for Momofuku’s test kitchen, there’s not really much else to prove…

Paul Liebrandt may be British, but you’d hardly associate the exacting, Michelin-starred chef with Bangers and Mash, Yorkshire Pudding and Steak and Kidney Pie. In fact, he’s best known for coupling contemporary French fare with a uniquely modern, graphic presentation while at Corton in Tribeca, and Liebrandt has remained true to his signature style at The Elm, a sleek new eatery housed in the King & Grove Hotel in Williamsburg…

Wells Steakhouse in Queens…
Read MoreLocal Products to Look for at the New Brooklyn Whole Foods
Here at Restaurant Girl, we tend to obsess about great New York restaurants. Not grocery stores and certainly not Whole Foods, a massive chain with interchangeable shops all throughout the U.S. But the recently opened Gowanus outpost of Whole Foods is shaping up to be Brooklyn’s own little version of Eataly… except that instead of Italian imports, the concentration is on hyper-local, artisanally produced goods. From the freshly baked pies from Four and Twenty Blackbirds to the heat-and-eat pizzas from Roberta’s, here are a few brands to look for at Brooklyn’s borough-backing branch of Whole Foods…
Read MoreQ & A with Pok Pok Ny’s Andy Ricker
New York is having a love affair with Asian cooking, and Andy Ricker’s three terrific Thai eateries are among the most respected restaurants of all. There’s the flagship Pok Pok Ny in Brooklyn, modeled after his original outpost in Portland. There’s the recently opened Whiskey Soda Lounge just next door, which showcases delicious drinking food alongside cocktails made with Ricker’s own Som Drinking Vinegars. And there’s Pok Pok Phat Thai on the Lower East Side (formerly Pok Pok Wing), which focuses on highly authentic renditions of the popular, but too often bastardized dish.
