Seafood Options For A Delicious And Healthy Meal By Ronald Scaglia

here’s nothing like a seafood meal. There are so many delicious seafood options to choose from for a light yet satisfying dinner, that really hits the spot on a warm spring evening, This is especially true on Long Island. Situated on the eastern seaboard has helped to contribute to the Island’s reputation for offering some of the finest seafood in the world. And nutritionists advise that there are many healthy benefits to consuming seafood. “Fish contains omega-3 fatty acids which are shown to be heart healthy and lower the risk of heart disease,” says Nancy Copperman, MS, RD, CDN and director of public health initiatives with North Shore Long Island Jewish Health System. She also added that fish “improves brain function, preSalmon – in particular wild salmon – is high in omega-3 fatty acids. venting Alzheimer’s and dementia,” In addition, she says that fish is low in Copperman also suggests that diners be particular about saturated fat, is low in fat generally, is naturally low in how they ask their seafood to be prepared. She says the uncalories and is a good source of protein. Therefore, she rechealthiest way to order seafood is deep-fried. No matter ommends that everyone consume about 12 ounces of fish how healthy a selection is, deep-frying adds fat and calories per week. and the fat is most likely saturated. However, not all fish are created equally. Some fish are “Avoid anything that’s fried,” she advises. higher in those beneficial omega-3s, while other fish contain Pan-fried entrees are slightly healthier than deep-fried sehigher levels of mercury. How a fish dinner is prepared also lections, according to Copperman. She says that pan-frying greatly influences how healthy it really is. So, here are some is usually healthier than deep-frying because, most often, suggestions on what to order and how to have it prepared so unsaturated fats are used as the cooking oils. However, this that a fish entrée can be a satisfying and tasty dinner, while method will still increase the amount of calories. also being a healthy choice. A healthier option is broiling, but Copperman says One thing to consider is the amount of mercury that difthere are still pitfalls. She cautions that fat is often added ferent varieties of seafood contain. Popular fish selections when broiling fish. She specifically states that buttery that contain high levels of mercury, according to both the sauces are used to brown fish, therefore she recommends U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Copperthat diners question what sauces are used to prepare man, are shark, swordfish, king mackerel and tilefish. broiled seafood. However, Copperman advises that Women who are nursing, pregnant, or who may become broiled fish without added fats is a very good choice nupregnant should avoid these selections and others should tritionally. She also recommends baking or poaching, limit their consumption. Instead, the FDA recommends again without added fats. shrimp, canned light tuna, salmon, pollock and catfish as The sauces added to fish can be another diet pitfall. Even seafood with low levels of mercury. In addition, Copperif someone orders poached salmon with no added fats, man advises that anchovies, bluefish, herring, mackerel, slathering it in tartar or hollandaise sauce will add plenty of salmon, sturgeon, sardines and lake trout are high in beneextra fat and calories. Diners should inquire about any ficial omega-3 fatty acids. sauces that a restaurant adds to seafood and Copperman advises that patrons request that any sauce be ordered on the side. She further recommends that when applying sauce, diners dip their fork into the sauce and then pick up a piece of fish rather than just covering the whole dinner in sauce. This way, the flavor will still be added, yet the amount of fat and calories will be far less because less sauce is being consumed. And even though fish is low in calories and fat, diners should still be careful about portion size. A standard recommendation when enjoying lean protein is to have a piece that is equal to the size of a deck of cards. Because fish is generally lower in fat and calories, Copperman says that portion sizes can be larger – about a deck of cards plus an additional quarter. However, many restaurants tend to serve larger portions, which are sometimes twice this amount. Therefore, she suggests that if portions are too large, diners take some of it home for a second meal to be enjoyed at another time. Shrimp is another tasty and healthy seafood choice.

Shakers By Rob Donovan

Austin, Texas’ loss, is certainly Mineola’s gain. After closing his three-decade-old mainstay, Katz’s Deli, in Austin, the colorful New York restaurateur Marc Katz, has now become part of a brand new gourmet-bar-foodwith-a-twist eatery, Shaker’s, on Mineola Boulevard. With Deanna Nauer and Kashmir Arnold, and Chef Phil Salerno, formerly of The Boathouse in Central Park, Katz has helped create the kind of fun joint with delicious “big food” you’d see featured on the Food Network’s Diners Drive-Ins and Dives. The food here will wow you. A 26-foot bar, comfortable lounge area, and a two-level space for dining that’s all wood and mirrors dominate the multi-level eatery. The smart move on the owners’ part is that they keep the menu small—although filled with a wide variety of amazing goodies. Every aspect of this operation succeeds: the ambiance, the staff and most importantly, the first-rate food, which is as fresh and well prepared as it comes. They serve artisan breads, as well as having their meat supplied by Andy’s New Hyde Park Butcher, ground daily and butchered on the premises. You can taste the difference in every bite. The Colossal Cheeseburger, for example, is absolutely so delicious that you won’t even think of putting any ketchup or other condiment on it. They don’t skimp on anything here. The portions are generously large, and from soup to steak, there’s a master’s touch that’s evident. Let’s start with the soups. The Three Onion Soup, with its melted Swiss and Provolone, is sweet and subtle, nothing like the too-salty disasters you find elsewhere. The Boston Clam Chowder, complete with perfectly seasoned potato cubes and Little Neck Clams in the shell, is a standout with its rich

creamy broth and big chunks of clam. The appetizers are all insanely good. The Mammoth Wings are some of the best I’ve had anywhere: huge, and a lesson in how to crisp up your chicken perfectly. Juicy and flavorful, they come with a side of out-of-this-world, homemade blue cheese dressing. The Fried Pickles were lightly breaded and fried to perfection. A unique treat for us Yankees. The Frito Pie is the scene-stealer here; it arrives in a Frito bag with a bottle of Miller and fried jalapeños. The “pie” is filled with Frito corn chips topped with chunky beef chili, melted cheese, diced onions and sour cream. It’s not only a brilliant concept, it was filled with superb Southwestern flavors. Even the Tater Tots are superior. And it gets even better. The Entrees rock. The aforementioned 10 oz. so-fresh Cheeseburger was dripping with melted cheese and its natural, succulent juices. Order it with the house Steak Bacon, a true treat, and no doubt the best bacon you’ve eaten. It will change your life. The Ruben is fantastic (what would you expect from the former owner of a popular deli named Katz’s?). The Filet Mignon Steak with its Portobello mushroom and horseradish dressing was a supreme success—so deliciously juicy and just bursting with flavor. If I had to pick a favorite out of all A+-dishes, this might be it. With ‘60s rock in the background, and its Austin-feel, Shakers is bound to be and should be the go-to stop, not only for locals, but also for those from miles around. Be aware, that whether it’s for Happy Hour, lunch, dinner or a night relaxing at the bar or lounge (surrounded by a bunch of large screen TVs), this will easily become your new hangout. Shakers is a real winner.

Capellini with Vegetables Capellini alla Primavera Pasta with spring vegetables—or, for that matter, any vegetables—has always been a staple of Italian cuisine. But Sirio Maccioni, the renowned Italian restaurateur who has owned Le Cirque for decades claims to be the one to baptize it primavera in 1974. Along with Romeo Salta, and the Giambelli brothers, Sirio was at the lead in bringing the fine Italian dining experience to New York. Sirio runs a restaurant that is French by name but serves pasta primavera. Here is Lydia’s recipe for capellini with vegetables. Serves 6 Ingredients: 1 teaspoon salt, plus more for pasta pot 1 pound capellini 1⁄ cup extra- virgin olive oil 4 garlic cloves, crushed and peeled 8 ounces green beans, cut into 1- to- 2- inch lengths 8 ounces asparagus, peeled, cut into 1- to- 2- inch lengths 1 pint grape tomatoes 1 bunch scallions, chopped 1 cup frozen peas, thawed 1⁄ cup heavy cream 1⁄ cup fresh basil leaves, loosely packed, shredded 1⁄ cup grated Grana Padano or Parmigiano- Reggiano Bring a large pot of salted water to boil for pasta. Once it is boiling, slide in the capellini, and cook until al dente. Pour ¼ cup of the olive oil into a large skillet over medium- high heat, then toss in the garlic cloves. Once the garlic begins to sizzle, slip in the green beans, asparagus, and salt. Pour in ½ cup pasta water, then cover and let steam until crisp- tender, about 4 minutes. Once the asparagus and green beans are crisp- tender, add the grape

Mexican Beef Brisket Salad From The Food Network Here is another recipe that is appropriate for spring. It comes from Marcela Valladolid, host of Mexican Made Easy, which airs on The Food Network on Saturdays at 9 a.m., who is sharing it with Anton readers. “This beef brisket salad is perfect for the spring,” says Marcela. “It has so much flavor and is very refreshing. I serve it with tostadas and bottled hot sauce at family parties and always receive great feedback. Packed with flavor and low in fat, my kind of meal.” Salpicon. serves 12 2 pounds boneless beef brisket 1 large onion, quartered salt ¾ cup olive oil 6 tablespoons distilled white vinegar ¼ cup fresh lime juice ¼ cup minced red onion

Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil, and ladle in about 2 cups pasta water. Bring to a rapid boil, and cook until reduced by about half. When the capellini is al dente, transfer it to the sauce. Pour in the cream, the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, and up to ½ cup more pasta water if the sauce is too dense. Bring to a boil, and cook until sauce coats the pasta; toss with the shredded basil. Remove from heat, and toss with the grated cheese. Reprinted from Lydia Bastianch’s recipe book, Lidia’s Italy in America, published by Alfred A. Knopf. 2 tablespoons dried crumbled oregano freshly ground black pepper 1 cup seeded chopped tomatoes 1 cup seeded chopped cucumber ½ cup capers, drained ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro 4 radishes, finely chopped 24 tostadas 3 avocadoes, halved, pitted, peeled, and sliced bottled hot sauce Put the brisket in a large pot and fill with enough water to cover the meat by one inch. Add the onion pieces and ¼ cup salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer partially covered for 2½ hours, or until the brisket is very tender. Add more water if needed to keep the meat covered. Turn off the heat and let the brisket cool in the cooking liquid to room temperature. Drain the brisket, discard the water, and cool completely. Meanwhile, prepare the vinaigrette by whisking the olive oil, vinegar, lime juice, red onion, and oregano in a medium bowl. Season the vinaigrette with salt and pepper. Shred the brisket into a large bowl. Add the tomatoes, cucumber, capers, cilantro, and radishes and toss to combine. Add the vinaigrette and toss to coat. Season the salpicón with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve with tostadas, avocado slices, and hot sauce.

The Greek Place By Rob Donovan

After owning several restaurants that have had appealing names, but were always referred to as “the Greek place,” Pete Kontoulakos decided to give the people what they want. He’s a young guy, bringing a hip, new perspective to Greek food. His new eatery—The Greek Place—serves Greek food like you’ve never had before, along with selections that are quite familiar. Pete opened the restaurant with his partner George Marinos, who happens to be the brother of Pete’s wife Maria, who bakes the more traditional dishes like Moussaka, as well as the fantastic desserts. The Greek Place is a small, but quite impressive eatery. It looks like a renovated oldfashioned ice cream shop, but with Greek touches—a mural, columns and lots of blue, with a somewhat retro ambiance that’s very appealing. There are five tables, and much of the food is take out, and even better—they have curbside take-out as well. They deliver to as far west as Mineola and as far east as Floral Park. And while they have many traditional dishes, be prepared to enjoy some very inventive unique and winning selections. Let’s start with some of the best wings on LI. The Greek Place Wings are made with spicy creamy feta and are juicy, flavorful and just plain delicious. The unique Athenian Wings are prepared with creamy spinach feta, and the Spartan Wings feature lemon oreganato, and were perhaps my favorite, although they were all absolutely first-rate. And don’t forget to try the Chef’s Special Wings, with feta and Pete’s own terrific tomato balsamic dressing. What a treat these crispy, saucy, tangy wings were. For entrées, the Moussaka (if you’re unfamiliar with Mediterranean cuisine, think Greek lasagna) was

comfort-food par excellence, homemade with eggplant, zucchini, potatoes and ground beef in a creamy béchamel sauce served with perfectly seasoned Roasted Greek Style Lemon Potatoes and a Greek Salad. The Chicken Souvlaki Sandwich was gigantic, packed with all those healthy Mediterranean spices and very fresh lettuce, tomatoes, onion and marinated chicken, on pita; it was quite filling. There are lots of items to choose from: soups, salads, specialty heroes, build-yourown-sandwich, burgers, pita pizza and a variety of traditional entrees like Spinach Pie, Falafal, Gyros, Souvlaki, and Pastisto, a Greek pasta with ground beef in a creamy béchamel. A standout was from the specialty hero sandwiches—the Athena. It was a grilled chicken breast with roasted peppers, imported feta, lettuce, tomatoes, onions and drenched in Pete’s fantastic lo-cal tomato balsamic vinaigrette. I could eat this sandwich every day. But here’s the genius part—Pete likes to experiment, and he likes to take popular dishes and Greek-ize them. For example, instead of a Philly Cheesesteak, he makes a Gyro Cheesesteak, with scrumptious gyro meat. I particularly loved his Gyro Quesadillas, cheesy, bursting with flavor on crisp tortilla-like pita, filled with feta, onions, lettuce, tomato and gyro meat. This could get Food Network knocking on his door to feature Greek Place on Best Thing I Ever Ate. And the desserts? You have to try Nuts in a Basket, a pastry that Maria makes, and an addictive one at that. I love this place, whether it’s for eat-in, takeout or catering. This is Greek like you’ve never seen, and it is a gem of a find.

Umberto’s By Rob Donovan

Umberto’s has a great reputation; their pizza, for example, is consistently voted the “best” on Long Island. Known as “the home of the Grandma slice,” as well as offering possibly the best Sicilian slice you’ll ever eat, they also serve a wide and unique range of Specialty and Brick Oven Pizzas. However, this can divert attention from the great nonpizza food that’s served here. For loyal customers addicted to this first-rate eatery, the quality of Umberto’s entrées is no surprise—customers are happy to wait a bit for one of the 13 tables to open up. The Tortelloni in Brodo Soup couldn’t have been more welcome on the blustery, rainy night I ate here. With substantial pieces of white-meat chicken, carrots, celery, baby spinach, cheese tortelloni, all simmering in a homemade broth, it truly hit the spot. The Escarole and Bean Soup was also a comfort-food delight. The Hot Antipasto (for two) included a flavorful combination of well-prepared Baked Clams, Shrimp, Mussels, Stuffed Mushroom and Eggplant Rollatini (a first hint of Umberto’s out-of-thisworld red sauces). The crisp, fresh Gorgonzola Salad was abundant with plentiful Mesclun greens, Gorgonzola cheese, Roma tomatoes and toasted walnuts in a homemade balsamic vinaigrette. The salad was large enough to feed two, with lots left over. General Partner Walter De Rosa has added a supplemental menu to Umberto’s standard one, and it’s a brilliant success. His richly battered Fried Zucchini Sticks were a nice, thick twist on this familiar appetizer. Other additions range from sushi-grade grilled Tuna to a mouth-watering Skirt Steak Umberto with grilled onions and a red wine sauce, and another standout—Ossobucco alla Genovese (all

De Rosa recipes). But for me, Umberto’s signature red sauces—Pomodoro and Marinara—are what makes me want to come back for more. The Marinara is chunkier and more garlicky than the Pomodoro, but both are bright and robust, exploding with flavor. And they’re big-hearted here with their servings; entrées arrive on large plates, and the main ingredient itself—chicken, veal, seafood—fills that entire plate. You would think there’d be leftovers, but it’s really difficult to not devour the entire well-prepared, delectably seasoned food. And they don’t skimp on sauces. The Chicken Sorrentino boasted a large, succulent, well-sautéed chicken breast, eggplant, Parma prosciutto, and melted mozzarella covered in fantastic Pomodoro sauce. The Veal Parmigiana was a generous portion of free-raised Nature’s veal, also enveloped in taste-bud-pleasing Pomodoro. My side of pasta was in the fabulous pulpy Marinara. For dessert, Walter’s recipe for Italian Ricotta Cheesecake was the perfect sweet and tangy way to end the meal. One thing they do here is add spices after they cook the meal, so that the taste is more fresh and distinct. You can’t go wrong with any dish here—this place is proud of their bold flavors whether it’s an entrée, baked pasta, pizza or hero. They’re open for lunch and dinner, have takeout and delivery, and offer catering. They feature numerous price specials, as well as dinner specials, which change weekly. De Rosa has added a successful addition to the Umberto menu with his own recipes, and it sets this Umberto’s apart from the others. Umberto’s reputation is well-deserved. This is truly some of the best Italian food you’ll have on Long Island.

Buffalo Burger From renowned chef Emeril Lagasse comes a recipe for home-ground buffalo burgers with bacon, cheese and fresh thyme. Emeril’s Table airs weekdays at noon on the Hallmark Channel.

Home-ground buffalo burgers with bacon, cheese and fresh thyme Ingredients: 1 ½ pounds buffalo, diced into 1inch cubes ½ pound, chuck, diced into 1-inch cubes 6 ounces bacon, chopped 1 cup finely chopped onion 3 tablespoons thinly sliced garlic 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce 1 teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 8 ounces stilton, gorgonzola or your favorite blue cheese, crumbled 4 to 6 sesame seed hamburger rolls, lightly toasted thinly sliced tomato 1½ cups shredded romaine lettuce mayonnaise, for serving ketchup, for serving mustard, for serving pickles, for serving • Place the diced buffalo and the chuck into a bowl. Assemble a home grinder according to the manufactur-

These buffalo burgers are sure to delight at your spring get together. er’s instructions using a medium die for grinding. Grind the buffalo and chuck and toss gently to combine. • Set a 10-inch sauté pan over medium heat and add the bacon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is crispy and most of the fat has rendered, 7 to 8 minutes. Add the onions to the pan and continue to cook until they are softened, about 4 to 5 minutes longer. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute longer. Place the thyme in the pan and toss to combine. Remove the pan from the heat and pour over meat mixture; drizzle with the Worcestershire and season with the salt and pepper. Toss gently but thoroughly to combine. Set aside to marinate for 1 hour. • Gently form into either 4 large or 6 slightly smaller patties, being care-

ful not to overwork. Refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour. • Remove the patties from the refrigerator and set aside at room temperature for about an hour before grilling. Preheat a grill to medium and lightly oil the grates and place on the grill. Cook large patties for 7-8 minutes, smaller ones for 6 to 8 minutes. Turn the patties over and divide the blue cheese evenly over the top of each burger. Continue to cook another 7-8 minutes for large patties for medium to medium rare, or 2 to 3 minutes longer for smaller patties, or until the burgers are cooked to the desired degree of doneness. Place the burgers on the bottom of each of the toasted buns. Dress with the lettuce and tomatoes, and add the mayo, ketchup, mustard, and pickles as desired. Yield: 4 to 6 servings

Hallmark Channel Recipes Wouldn’t a refreshing cocktail hit the spot on a warm spring evening? How about some tasty snacks to go with it? If this sounds tempting, then take a look at these recipes from Lucinda Scala Quinn, host of Mad Hungry with Lucinda Scala Quinn, which airs on the Hallmark Channel weekdays at 11 a.m.

Carrot and parsnip fries are a new twist on a classic snack.

Cucumber Mint Gin and Tonic (serves 1) 3 sprigs of mint 2-inch piece English cucumber, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise 2 ounces gin tonic water 1 thin wedge cucumber, for garnish • Strip leaves from two sprigs of mint and place in the bottom of a highball glass along with cucumber. • Muddle with a muddling stick or the handle of a wooden spoon. Fill a glass with ice. • Pour gin over ice, top off glass with tonic, stirring once, and garnish with remaining mint sprig and thin cucumber wedge.

Carrot & Parsnip Fries

(serves 4)

5 medium carrots 3 medium parsnips 2 tablespoons olive oil ½ teaspoon coarse salt ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes

A Simply Ming Chicken Recipe For those looking for a dish that’s perfect for spring and summer, chef Ming Tsai, is sharing his recipe for Ming’s tea-smoked marinated chicken with vegetables. This recipe was featured on an episode of Simply Ming in which he prepared it with his mother in Napa Valley. Ingredients • 1 whole chicken, brined* overnight, rinsed and dried • 1/4 cup fermented black beans • 2 tablespoons ginger, minced • 1 1/2 tablespoons chili paste (sambal) • 1/3 cup naturally brewed soy sauce • 1 tablespoon honey • 2 tablespoons canola oil • 1 cup lapsang suchong tea, soaked and drained • 1 cup sugar • 1 cup jasmine rice Grilled Vegetables • 1 large eggplant, cut into 1/4” slices • 3 large scallions or spring onions, cut in half lengthwise • 2 large zucchini, cut in half lengthwise • 2 heads bok choy, cut in half lengthwise

42 • Dining Guide 2012

A cucumber cocktail can be quite refreshing when the weather turns warmer. • Preheat oven to 400 degrees with rack in center of the oven. • Peel carrots and parsnips and halve crosswise. Slice lengthwise into ¼-inch-thick planks. Slice lengthwise again to make ¼-inch-thick fries. • Place on a rimmed baking sheet and toss with oil, salt and red pepper flakes. Spread into a single layer and roast, turning veggies once, until crisp and golden brown in places, about 20 minutes. • extra virgin olive oil • kosher salt • freshly cracked black pepper Directions 1. Prepare a charcoal grill with charcoal to one side of the grill for direct heat. In a bowl, combine fermented black beans, ginger, sambal, soy sauce, honey and canola oil. Rub mixture all over inside and outside of chicken. 2. In a foil pan, combine sugar, tea and rice. Spray grill with non-stick spray or brush with oil. Place chicken over indirect heat and the foil pan containing tea mixture over direct heat. Cover grill and cook until chicken is done, 40 to 45 minutes. The internal temperature of thigh should reach 170° and breast should be 160°. Allow to rest 10 minutes before cutting into pieces. Serve with grilled vegetables. *Brine method: Use sweet sea water ratio: 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup kosher salt to 2 quarts water, multiply as necessary to fully submerge protein in a large container. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Rinse under running water before cooking.

Grilled Vegetables Place vegetables in a bowl, toss with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 10 minutes, turning once. Featured on Simply Ming and is printed with permission from WGBH and Ming East-West ©2011.

Eddie’s Pizza By Rob Donovan

The iconic Eddie’s Pizza has been around for at least five decades, and since 1987, it’s been under the watchful eye of owner Joe DiVittorio. It’s a wonderfully nostalgic and retro bar/pizzeria/restaurant, that’s been attracting generations of loyal fans from across the country (they do a lot of business shipping their pies nationwide to expatriate New Yorkers). It’s been featured in books, in the media, and has a prominent place on the TV show Entourage, (long, interesting story, ask Joe when you get there). Let’s get to the food. Eddie’s, with its unassuming storefront, is known for its super-thin pizza. It also invented the bar pie, and even holds the trademark to that, which is quite impressive. Their pies, with their slim-as-a-dime crusts, are completely addictive. You can get an assortment of styles. My favorite is cheddar and bacon, with its delicious smokiness. Eddie’s Special which includes peppers, onions, meatballs, sausage, mushrooms, and a fantastic crispy pepperoni, is also a no-brainer. From White Clam pies to the standard cheese pie, each one is a bull’s-eye. The 10-inch bar pies are the way to go when you want to try an assortment of toppings, but save room for some of those great entrees and sides they serve. Eddie’s also has an impressive full menu, and it was some of the best Italian food I’ve had in a while. The Antipasto salad, filled with cheese, salami, sweet peppers and more, was gigantic, overflowing its large bowl. It was incredibly fresh, crisp and bode well for what was to come. The delicious Chicken Wings were so crispy they put KFC to shame. The Stuffed Rigatoni with spicy veal sauce was outstanding, with just the right kick of heat in its robust

sauce, it offered the perfect savory flavor to the generous ground veal and well-cooked flattened pasta filled with ricotta. The Shrimp Fra Diavolo, served over spaghetti, was plate-licking exceptional. The sauce was spicy good, with a strong punch of heat, and it completely infused the large succulent shrimp, which is a welcome rarity. There are many hero sandwiches to choose from, but the mouthwatering, first-rate Sausage, Onions and Peppers Hero was a highlight. The bread was baked in the pizza oven (everything here is cooked in the pizza oven) and added the right crunch. Eddie’s hamburgers are juicier and more flavorful than most because they, too, are cooked in the pizza oven. But the dish that you’ll dream about returning for is a side: the California Fries—baked steak fries, bacon, gravy and mozzarella. Comfort food doesn’t even begin to describe the amazing, gooey flavor-packed dish. Put your cardiologist appointment on hold, because this is a must-order treat. As if they hadn’t already won me over, their after-dinner offerings are tri-color cookies, which just happen to be my favorite. Yes, you can get all sorts of beers at the bar, and they even sell bottles of wine. They do catering and now have traveling food trucks offering their great food in NYC (check Twitter). DiVittorio is one of the most interesting restaurateurs on LI, and his love for his food, and even more so, his customers and employees is obvious. Lunch and dinner specials, reasonable prices, a great staff, and food worth traveling across the country (and certainly Long Island) for—Eddie’s pizza is a must-visit location.

The companion book to the series also titled Essential Pépin, features some of his favorite recipes including this one for linguine with clam sauce and vegetables.

Add the asparagus, mushrooms, and zucchini, season with the salt and pepper, and sauté for about 2 minutes. Toss in the tomatoes and heat briefly to warm them. • Divide the pasta among individual plates or transfer to a large serving platter. Spoon the hot clam sauce on top and arrange the vegetables on top of the pasta. Serve immediately, with Parmesan cheese, if desired.

Celebrity Recipes Maybe you can’t dance like the stars, but do you want to cook like them, or at least their moms? Then check out Nick Katsoris’s new book, Loukoumi’s Celebrity Cookbook Featuring Favorite Childhood Recipes. It contains recipes from over 50 celebrities who share some of their favorite childhood recipes. Below are contributions from Eli Manning and Jay Leno.

Eli Manning’s Lace Cookies “My mom made these cookies for us all the time and they are my favorite. She still makes them every time I make a visit home.” – Eli Manning Ingredients 2 cups old fashioned rolled oats 1 tablespoon flour 2 cups white sugar ½ teaspoon salt 2 sticks melted butter 2 eggs beaten 1 teaspoon vanilla Instructions: 1. Put the oats, flour, sugar & salt in to large bowl and mix well. 2. Pour very hot melted butter over mixture and stir until the sugar has melted. 3. Add eggs and vanilla - stir well. 4. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. 5. Cover cookie sheets with ungreased aluminum foil. 6. Drop ½ level teaspoons of the mixture on foil - 2 inches apart. 7. Cook about 10-12 minutes. 8. Watch carefully – When cookies are completely cooled, foil will peel off. 9. Store in airtight containers. 10. Makes about 6 dozen.

Jay Leno’s Uncle Louie’s Chicken Wings Marinara “My Uncle always told me ‘Someday you’ll have to make dinner for 20 guys and this is what you’ll make’.” – Jay Leno Ingredients: 2-3 dozen chicken wings 1 can Italian plum tomatoes olive oil garlic or garlic powder Durkee’s hot sauce salt parsley Instructions: 1. Cook chicken wings by broiling or lightly flour them and deep fry in safflower or peanut oil. While they are cooking, prepare the sauce. 2. Heat 1/8-inch of olive oil in a pan, add garlic powder or crushed garlic to taste. Mash one can of whole plum tomatoes through a sieve and cook in the olive oil. Add a few teaspoons of chopped parsley and salt to taste – then cook about 20 minutes. 3. At the end of this cooking time, add Durkee’s Hot Sauce (put a little or a lot, depending on how hot or mild your taste), but put in at least 2 tablespoons or the sauce won’t be as tasty. Add a little garlic powder and cook another 3-4 minutes. 4. In a bowl, toss the chicken wings with ½ cup of the sauce and serve with the remaining sauce on the side to dip the wings into.
