Tasting Menu NYC With Joe Cash

In a city of endless eats, sometimes one just has too many options — we narrow it down with the help of a chef. Joe Cash is the Chef De Cuisine at The Pool, one of New York City’s premiere dining destinations. Cash has spent time working on top kitchens such as Thomas Keller’s Per Se and Rene Redzepi’s Noma in Copenhagen before returning to New York. 

Tasting menus can be a little tricky, some are too much, some too long, and some just make you want to walk out and head to McDonald’s.  As a young chef you try to take away as much as you can from every dining experience good or bad, but as you eat your way through the city, the novelty begins to wear off and the only thing that really matters is: was it worth it?

“I really enjoy eating at Atera because it sparks my imagination, the flavors and techniques here push a lot of boundaries.  Smart, fun, and very tasty.  Go early and start with one of their amazing cocktails in the lounge.”

“To me, this is still home.  The place where I learned what it meant to be a chef. The extraordinary craft and care that goes into each dish shines throughout the entire meal.  With a new menu everyday, I love seeing what Chef Chow and the team dream up.”

“Jean Georges is a classic.  A beautiful room and wonderful food, I love the depth of flavors you find in his sauces and more than anything, I just wish I could eat the toasted egg yolk with caviar and herbs every day.”

BBQ Culinistas

A STYLISH BBQ DISH FROM A "CULINISTA"

BBQ Culinistas

A “culinista” is someone who loves the art of cooking as much as, well, a fashionista loves the art of clothing design. You may not be a culinista (or maybe you are?), but if you’re going to cook, you might want to take some advice from one.  We hit up our pal Josie Gordon who just so happens to be part of a team of cooking savants called “The Culinistas” (And who worked beneath Jean Georges for years) for the perfect stylish, (easy) and fun recipe to impress our friends with this Memorial Day. After the jump, learn how to make something good looking and delicious called Grilled Short Rips with Tomatillo-Tequila Salsa. Recipe after the jump!

Grilled Short Ribs with Tomatillo-Tequila Salsa

Salsa:

1 cup chopped raw tomatillos (rinsed well)

1 chopped shallot

½ cup orange slices

1 seeded, chopped jalapeno

¼ cup chopped cilantro

1 minced garlic clove

2 tablespoons lime juice

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons tequila

2 tablespoons triple sec

½ tsp salt

¼ tsp black pepper

2 lbs boneless beef short ribs:

Oil

Salt

  • For the salsa, mix all of the ingredients together in a bowl.  Cover and store in the refrigerator for at least one hour to let the flavors develop.
  • Heat a grill to moderately high heat.  Brush both sides of the short ribs with oil and a sprinkle of salt.  Grill the short ribs for about 4 minutes on both sides for medium rare short ribs.  Serve with the salsa.
