For shame.<br /><br />If any of you find yourselves on the West Side at breakfast time and in need of some of the best corned beef hash you'll ever taste, hit Grumpy's on W 14th. If you're disappointed, I'll buy your breakfast; that's how good it I think it is.Jon Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13855059447394883208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18122582.post-45798625760855345672012-03-31T19:28:44.564-04:002012-03-31T19:28:44.564-04:00Erin, gotta hand it to you, you've got a cook ...Erin, gotta hand it to you, you've got a cook book to pimp and you share all this great local flavor too.

I have discovered that if a vegan dish is named honestly about what it is, and isn't, it can be very good, even great. What doesn't work are attempts to replicate Andouille sausage, or the like. I tried "Not Dogs" in 1974, and they are every bit as disgusting today.<br /><br />I've noticed vegan chili is not only good, it doesn't make you want to nap afterwards.philbillynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18122582.post-72237736868118225752012-03-31T15:44:04.183-04:002012-03-31T15:44:04.183-04:00Envious I am!
