- on the lamb

As we all know chknbone360 loves to devour helpless creatures (restaurateurs, bloggers, barn yard animals etc...) and unlike Misterbelly feels little to no remorse while he gnaws the tender meat from the cute little lamby legs. That being said I (yes i know i just switched from 3rd to 1st person... sue me... its my blog people!) have been on an epic quest for the last couple months trying to hunt down the tastiest lamb available.
A couple of notable entries....
peri ela
91st and Lex (NYC)
A shining beacon of light in an often poorly done sea of lamb. These Turks can cook the hell out of some lamb. If you like lamb you will love this place. Be forewarned its cash only. All you credit jockeys are gonna have to hit up the coin star machine and cash in your pennies. WELL WORTH IT!!!
the little owl
Bedford and Grove (NYC)Succulent, falls off the bone leg of lamb. Really nicely done. Also a tad off topic but their Italian wedding soup is to die for. Misterbelly raved about her pork chop as well. Over all a very good dining experience.
So go out there and massacre some helpless lambs... toss their bones over your shoulder and if anyone says anything to you tell them chknbone360 says "compost that you hippy tree hugger"

Went to Death & Co. the other night. Took us a sec to break through the doorman barrier. He was actually quite nice in comparison to the norm trendy NYC bar and offered to call us when our spot came open. So we left and went to some dive on the corner... half way through our first drink I got a call telling us that no one before us on the list had answered their phone and we had a table to share. So we ditched our drinks and headed back.
The ambiance was pretty nice. Lots of wood ... not too crowded. Lengthy food menu with some interesting twists on the norm pub fair. For instance the girls that we shared a table with ordered the "fish and chips" which were sushi sized cuts of whitefish wrapped in potatoes and then deep fried. They looked pretty tasty. We ordered pear slices wrapped in prosciutto and stuffed with goat cheese. They were tasty but the prosciutto wasn't cooked (not that it was bad tasting) and the texture of the dish was a tad to squishy for Misterbelly and I.
The drinks were good. I got some sort of bourbon thing called the 19th street special. It was really good. I was a tad tipsy at that point in the night so i can't really speak to what was in it. Misterbelly on the other hand ordered something that tasted like cough syrup and had gin in it. She made faces and eventually the waitress noticed and swapped it out for a really tasty pineapple daiquiri that was originally on their virgin menu (but she got them to put rum in it) and it was really good. All in all it was a decent bar and I would def go back.
After that we tried to go to gold bar but some hoochie door slut in a babushka gave us the nay no stating that it was a "private party". Sufficive to say Goldbar is FIRED! - Posted Feb 11, 2007 by chknbone360 | 2 Comments | Share It
