IN PRINT: City Paper Food and Restaurants, August 25

POSTED: Thursday, August 25, 2011, 11:19 AM

Filed Under: In Print

- Recently released in its latest unabridged English translation, legendary chef Auguste Escoffier's Le Guide Culinaire is as close to a holy text as it gets as far as cooking is concerned. Can a quasi-capable amateur cook pick the book up off a shelf and make an amazing meal? No, the answer is no (see above). But we tried super hard!

- Adam Erace visits My Tho, the Vietnamese crawfish joint in Wing Phat Plaza, to get down on some noodle soup and Southeast Asian-style mudbugs.

- In Feeding Frenzy: The particulars on Tryst, the new subterranean hang in Le Bec-Fin, Percy Street's new location, Turney and Safran's upcoming Jamonera and more.

- In What's Cooking: Nicole Rossi with details on a honey-sweet Fourth Friday at Cookie Confidential, brunch at The Twisted Tail, Oktoberfest (early!) at McGillin's and more.
