Edible Manhattan, Issue 3 Is Out

Posted by Brian Halweil, January 7, 2009 at 3:00 PM

Just in time to help you think up new food-related resolutions, the latest issue of Edible Manhattan is out. In the January/February 2009 issue you can read about how the the brothers Zabar, straddling Central Park, anticipated America's gourmet revolution (the brothers suggest the supposed rift was a media fabrication).

Also, the Chinatown haunts of Chef King Phojanakong of Kuma Inn (the print edition has an annotated map), a Chelsea chocolatier that's redefining ethical sweets, and an oenophilic exposé of what lies beneath Chelsea Market.

And even though the Jets season has ended, Edible takes a look inside the fridge of starting linebacker, Calvin Pace, a soft-spoken Southern gentleman and football foodie who tries not to eat Indian too close to game days but calls the Peking duck at Philippe's "ridiculous."

The print issue, available at many restaurants and stores, also includes stories on Empire State syrup, a photo essay of Chanterelle, DIY yogurt in your apartment, Dr. Frank's wine, an introduction to West Africa on the Upper West Side, a visit with the infamous Mr. Recipe, and a seasonal menu by Gramercy Tavern chef Michael Anthony.
