Slice Harvester

February 17th, 2010 · Reviews, food zine

I couldn’t pass the Slice Harvester zine up at $3.00 a pop while shopping at Whisk last night.  This is an essential read for any slice aficionado. The inaugural issue features reviews of every shop above 110th st.

I wish this guy luck in his venture to review every slice joint in NYC.

The North Jersey Slider.

January 22nd, 2010 · Burgers, Sliders

As much as I wanted to take the 1 hour and 45 minute trip by public transportation to Hackensack NJ to try a White Manna slider, I opted to make them at home.

I used seasoned ground chuck, squashed into a thin patty on a hot cast iron skillet.  Immediately cover the patty with thinly sliced onions and cook until you have a nice gristly char.  Flip, add a slice of cheese, smother with onions, place a sliced potato dinner roll right on top of the burger, and cover the skillet until cooked through.
