The Daily Grub

While I could go into a whole diatribe about whether the Phillies or the Yankees have the best starting lineup, I’ll keep my opinions under lock and key. But when it comes to food, it’s definitely a toss-up for me as to which city serves up the best grub.

I never restrict my diet when I travel to New York. As soon as I land, every cell in my body yearns to stuff itself with dozens of slurpy good soup dumplings from Joe’s Shanghai over on Pell Street, indulge in Sabrett hot dogs, and of course, take in gobs of hot pastrami from Carnegie Deli on 7th Ave. at 55th.

When’s the last time you tried whipping up a first-rate French meal? Perhaps with the current revival of Julia Child’s work, — thanks in large part to “Julie & Julia,” the film chronicling the life of the celebrated cook — you’ve considered popping by a French bistro, picking up a crispy baguette on your way home from work, or finally combating that coq au vin.
