From last week's NYT Magazine. "A dog will polish the bowl, but a cat always leaves a little bit. It's like an offering." Christopher Walken

It’s arguably Marc Forgione, who last year was named a TV Iron Chef by the Food Network. (Incidentally, he won the title by beating Marco Canora, whose own modestly priced Terroir Tribeca is the wine bar of choice among my trendy downtown friends.) Forgione’s eponymous and Michelin-starred restaurant on Reade specializes in new age comfort dishes like "BLT Ravioli," suckling pig, and a "Fudge Brownie" dessert garnished with Nutella and cacao marshmallows."
