AlwaysPartying: Academy Awards Always Hungry-Style
March 05, 2010
Always Hungry does the Oscars.
Some people slip into gowns and tuxes. Some don sweats and settle in with popcorn. Others fill out ballots, and watch at the local bar, screaming at the TV. At Always Hungry, Oscar celebrations this year involve seeking out winning dishes to represent each of the nominees for best picture.
AlwaysHolidays: Eight Crazy Deep Fried Nights
December 11, 2009
From Sammy’s Roumanian, Latkes.
Tonight marks the beginning of Hannukah. Celebrating the oil that burned for eight days while the Maccabees rededicated the holy Temple in Jerusalem, this wonderful holiday conveniently calls for oil soaked, deep fried delicacies. When else is there such a good excuse to eat foods soaked in oil? For us, almost everyday, for the rest of you, maybe not as often. While it is American tradition to celebrate with Potato Pancakes (Latkes) and Jelly Dougnuts (Sufganiyot), anything that is soaked in oil will do. So to help celebrate these Eight Crazy Nights, we give you eight of New York City’s great oil soaked, deep fried treats (including a few beloved latkes and donuts) that you can devour while you light your menorah, have a party, and dance the hora.
HAPPY HANNUKAH!
AlwaysPartying: International Pickle Week
The Gluttoness — May 22, 2009
In celebration of International Pickle Week (May 15 through the 25) it’s time to pay homage to some of our favorite, non-traditional, international pickle plates in New York City. It’s not that we don’t love the NYC Pickle Guys and the sour or half-sour cukes at Katz’s and Second Avenue Deli, but sometimes AlwaysHungryNY likes to spice things up and the pickles at these restaurants really pack some heat.
AHNY: Top 5 Matzoh Balls? Nope, Just Three
Jeff Zalaznick & Arthur Bovino — April 07, 2009
In honor of Passover, AlwaysHungry set out to find New York’s top five matzoh balls. What we discovered surprised us: there is no Top 5. New York City, despite having the world’s second largest Jewish population outside Tel Aviv, has only three knaidlech contenders. Sure, it was close between the top two but for the most part, outside these top three contenders, everything else was for the birds.
Noodles and dill, carrots and celery—we decided not to consider these varying soup ingredients as determining factors. This is about matzoh balls. After all, competing philosophies on how best to construct them are distracting enough (seltzer or water? oil or schmaltz? how long should the eggs be beaten? seasoned inside or out? boiled in salt water or chicken broth?). For Top 5 purposes, we judged based on three criteria: texture, flavor and appearance.
