Everything about this dinner was incredible. I still think about the rutabaga soup, the cardoons, and the roasted onion. The food and service was still very much James caliber but it was so inviting to be served family style while sitting in large groups. It was such a comforting meal, thanks so much to the James staff for a great time. Hope to see you next year!

We have started joking that Chef Burke has created a cardoon craze! Many have asked us how to prep & prepare this interesting veg, well here goes. May you all enjoy a delicious & safe Thanksgiving. Stay hungry, The JAMES Crew Cardoon Gratin rinse stalks, trim leafy edges Cut into 1/2" & soak overnight in VERY salty water Drain, blanche until al dente in VERY salty water Sweat thinly sliced onions in generous amount of butter until soft (NO COLOR) add a couple of chopped salted anchovy then add the cardoons, cover with cream, bring to a simmer & continue to simmer under a parchments lid until extremely tender. Finish with lemon zest, season to taste. Put a generous layer in a gratin dish top with parmiggiano reggiano cheese and broil until golden brown
We cheated a tiny bit. About the cardoons, I've tasted and grown them and I wasn't all that fond. So, I grow artichokes instead and harvest the leaf stalks as well. No more boiling in all those changes of water. They are so lovely, I eat them raw like celery! Just string them slightly, cut as you like and cook like celery. They're great creamed, Guten appetit!

[...] Though we reported last week that the long, long, long-awaited Sticks & Stones (1909 E. Passyunk Ave.) would be debuting this long holiday weekend, we decided that a bit of visual confirmation couldn’t hurt, so we popped in yesterday evening. (OK, we also just wanted a beer.) Nick Miglino’s P’yunk Ave operation is indeed rolling, and was packed pretty tight on Sunday for an industry night special. They had lots of nice craft beers on tap, all priced at $5.50 (Lefthand Sawtooth, Weyerbacher Harvest, Flying Dog Raging Bitch, Bell’s Two-Hearted, Stone Arrogant Bastard, etc.), and there’s also a nice large-format bottle list. Though the menu was not live for yesterday’s festivities (they instead were putting out gratis snacks for the in-the-biz guests), we snagged a shot of the internationally themed offerings, which you can check out after the jump.
