I’m probably a few hours early — depending on when you’re reading this — but I’m taking this opportunity to wish each and every one of you all the best in 2009.
Food
Marble rye’s one of those beloved East Coast foods that is so difficult to find west of the Mississippi, but readers have several sources for Rosemary Nahay, who’s trying to find it.
Ah, fresh mozzarella; there’s nothing like its delicate texture and nutty flavor. And this week readers tell Bob Daniels where to find it.
Brown-rice sushi may not be strictly authentic, but it’s a boon to those who are trying to eat more healthfully and get more whole grains into their diets. And two readers have sources for Mallory Loyes, who’s looking for it.
I’m reminded at this time of year that, besides the continued good health — and good humor — of family and friends, I’m most thankful for Taste of the Town readers. So let’s get right to the requests to help as many as possible.
THE LATEST
We may live in a thoroughly modern city that’s more apt to tear down than restore, but old-fashioned touches abound in the realm of food here. That’s the case with horehound candy, being sought by Suzette Scott.
Oh, those pesky olive pits. Yes, they seem to give the olives more flavor, but getting rid of them can be a rather delicate situation. No wonder Sue Heiselman is looking for pitted kalamata olives, and luckily, five readers have come to her rescue.
Since Commander’s Palace closed, Tiffany Jones has been looking for another restaurant that serves turtle soup, and it turns out that Taste of the Town readers know of one. Jeanne Ekhaml and Chris Phillips both recommended Del Frisco’s, 3925 Paradise Road. …
No red herrings here. Two readers have suggestions for Alex Greenberg, who’s looking for herring fillets with sour cream and onions that aren’t in jars.
John Bergler is looking for not just any English muffin, but specifically for Bays English muffins. Luckily for him, his fellow readers say they’re not among those longed-for items that can’t be found in town.
Two weeks ago we had reader suggestions for good breakfast spots for Brad Dunaway; today more weigh in with the shredded-potato hash browns Dunaway is seeking.
The tastes of home hold a lot of allure for most of us, and that’s apparently the case for Candace Geronilla, who’s looking for two Midwestern favorites: breaded pork tenderloin and loose-meat “Maid-Rite”-style sandwiches. And once again, readers come to the rescue.
Brad Dunaway is looking for places that serve breakfast with “good eggs … good orange juice and coffee” (and good hash browns, but more on that below), and it seems readers are eager to nominate their favorites.
The cooler weather we’ve been experiencing lately seems to bring out the cooks among us, so let’s see if we can find some of the items sought by Taste of the Town readers:
