That condition is primarily due to the fact that my good friend, the professional chief, with whom always stay, never ever cooks at home. Never. Ever. However, needless to say, he knows all about quite a few exceptionally good places to eat. He also keeps his place with-stocked with Knob Creek Bourbon and designer beers.

Add to that the fact that my favorite NY restaurant, Perbacco (check out the menu), is directly across the street from his place and, well, it's good eats all the time.

FYI, the restaurant pictured above is not Perbacco. It's a great beer and burger joint, Black Iron Burger Shop, on E5th in the East Village.
