Rice, dill, peas, beans, yogurt, cucumber, caviar. That’s pretty much it. Oh and crispy potatoes.

We took the @sofreh_brooklyn green rice. Added some crispy potatoes to the bottom. Topped it with a yogurt sauce and White Sturgeon Caviar. The rest is history. This one speaks for itself.

EPISODE 006: Sofreh (Part 1)

Back to Brooklyn for a Persian feast at @sofreh_brooklyn. We will definitely be recreating multiple dishes from this gem of a restaurant. Our way. This week we’re going to be elevating the Green Rice you see at the beginning of this video. 😤.

Ricotta. Toast. (Whipped).
These pieces of toast are inspired. Inspired by the OG’s at @misinewyork

Our version utilized a sourdough—starter courtesy of @fabriquebakery. Hand made. In our own ovens.

The whipped ricotta was a labor of love. It started out in a blender, but we had to go back to our roots and whip it by hand in a cooled bowl. It was #creamy.

Some fresh produce from Abington Square Green Market, a farmers market in the West Village. Peaches and tomatoes and basil. Taste like nothing you’ve ever ingested.

Lastly, we topped the toasts with some garnishes, namely the chili crunch from @momolongplay.

This one took things to another level. See you next week.

EP 005: MISI RICOTTA TOAST

A cult classic. We had to make multiple stops at multiple shops to scavenge the ingredients for this one:

First we tried the toast at @misinewyork. Fluffy ricotta. Fresh bread. What more do you want.

We then visited Abington Square Greenmarket, a farmers market in West Village. Got some peaches, some tomatoes, and ingratiated ourselves to some farmers.

Lastly, we got some sourdough starter (and a croissant) @fabriquebakery. Give them a visit if you’re ever in Meatpacking or Chelsea. Quaint, fresh, Swedish.

Yeah, it’s the best Cacio e Pepe we’ve had. The one at @viacarota? The one made at the top secret Cortex Kitchens? Both?

Ours was untraditional, but the noodles were hand crafted like they were hundreds of years ago in Italia. We added some Cacio e Pepe butter from @popupbagels because that’s what this show is about. (Popup Bagels episode soon to come). The rest was straightforward: cheeses and pepper. 🤌.

EP 004: Via Carota’s Cacio e Pepe

A New York staple. Simple elegance. The pasta has a chew like you’ve never had. It’s so delicately tucked into bed by the black pepper and cheese sauce.

The BEC (bacon-egg—and-cheese) is a right of passage for any New Yorker. Whether you’re in a rush, having a tough morning, or just seeking the comfort of your local bodega, it never fails. That’s the exact hospitality we were met with by @rah_money1.

Our attempt at an Ocky Way BEC involved some cinnamon buns, a cacio pepe hash brown, some fluffy runny eggs, hoisin-glazed-thick-cut-Peter-Luger bacon, and a gochujang aioli. It was good.

Thanks again to General Ock! Throw us a follow if you like that you see. We’ll see you next time.

EPISODE 003: The Ocky Way

Yeah we did. General Ock (@rah_money1) welcome us in with that trademark Brooklyn hospitality. He treated us to a bacon-egg-and-cheese on a honey bun. Also known as The Ocky Way.

Tune in Wednesday to see how we made our version.

The New York Dirty Water Hot Dog. An American Tradition. We got one from Papaya Dog, where the hot dog chefs graciously asked us not to put their faces on camera.

Our version was a Coney dog with a spice-filled, bubbling chili, a homemade glossy brioche bun, some Hebrew National hot dogs (not glizzys), cheddar cheese, and a little onion garnish.

Next weeks episode levels up once more. Be sure to tune in!

This week we visited Papaya Dog in the West Village and got the treatment. That means a lot of attitude, some questionable chili, and a classic hot dog.

Tune in on Wednesday to see how we made our version!

We visited Regina herself at @reginasgrocery and made our version of the Cousin Ciro sandwich.

Piano fingers to make the focaccia, scorched our hands in Mozerella water, and butterflied numerous chicken breasts. The result was 🤌🤌🤌.

Episode 001: Taking it all the way back to 2020 with the Cousin Ciro sandwich from @reginasgrocery.

Described as by Regina herself as “to die for,” this bad boy comes with breaded chicken, fresh mozzarella, roasted reds, arugula, and balsamic glaze, amongst other things.

Thanks to Regina for hosting us! Be sure to checkout either of their locations in the Lower East Side or Nolita 🤌
