Reviewed Brisket with Carrots and Onions
"Another five star from Ina. I bought the last two pieces of brisket my market had, I think it was 5 or 6 pounds. It took about 4 and a half hours, not 3 and a half, and is PERFECT. I tested it by tasting it after 3.5, and it wasn't tender. So I cooked it an hour or so more. *UPDATE after reading other reviews, I cook the brisket at 275 for about "
Reviewed Haluski (Pan-Fried Cabbage and Noodles)
"Amazing. I love reading other reviews. I cooked the cabbage a bit longer and added about 3/4 cup sour cream to it all at the end (as per a review or two). I cannot go on about it enough, it was SO GOOD. I was also lucky enough to have been lazy with a breakfast pan today, and had about 2 tablespoons of bacon grease on hand. Forget healthy eating t..."

"It's just roast chicken. How can it be that good?
It is. That good.
I'm not a huge fan of roasted chicken. It's fine. When it was what my mother had cooked for dinner, i remember an ungrateful eye-roll and pang of disappointment. Maybe it's because I'm approaching middle age now, or maybe it's Ina Garten's recipe (ya think?, but this roast chic"

Reviewed Old-Fashioned Banana Cream Pie
"Flavor, texture and taste are FIVE stars. However, the way this is written out as a recipe is unfinished. I am a firm believer of not blaming a chef if I screw up their recipe as it would usually be my fault. But when it comes to baking and you have to, for example, cook a custard, a recipe worth its weight in salt tells you the EXACT size of sauce..."
Reviewed Basil Chicken Hash
"Very good, but this time around I'm so grateful to the other reviews. We all know there's NO WAY potatoes would be cooked after 5 minutes in a pan. I put my potatoes in the oven for the chicken's last 15 minutes, and then after 10 minutes in the pan with the onions they still weren't done. So the onion/potato mixture took over 10 minutes on medi"

About Me
I'm a stand up comedian, but always practice mixology at least once or twice a week in Manhattan. I also love to bake. My passion is people. Tailoring a cocktail to someone's individual, special palate. Treating people who sit at my bar as if they were coming to my living room for a cocktail party. We all have a blast! My pet peeve: Snobbery! I'd rather teach someone who knows nothing about mixology but has an open, warm personality how to make a gin and tonic than deal with a brilliant mixologist with an attitude. We're to create memories! I always try and remember that.
Favorite Foods
My favorite food to cook is CAKE! I'm much more of a baker and a mixologist than a food chef. I love working on classic, dark and complex cocktails such as the Sazerac or Manhattan. On the opposite end of the spectrum, light, crisp Summer cocktails are a blast too. Creating my own recipes or developing a new twist on a classic cocktail is such an awesome challenge. It's funny, both baking and mixology require such precision. Yet in real life, I can't organize anything! I'm famous for cocktails you'll find at Freeman's Restaurant, NYC!
