  You asked, we fetched. Mercy wrote in: "I tried making Michy's croquetas and matched up the ingredients well -- but what breading is used?  Can you give me the receipe for the croquetas and fig marmalade? It is one of my favorites."The recipe for croquetas with blue cheese and jamón serrano is actually on page 3 of Michelle Bernstein's cookbook Cuisine á Latina -- which I believe loosely translates to strike while the iron is hot. Then again, admittedly my Spanish still needs some work.I

• Bernstein, Eismann, and Johnny V Forsake Helpless Animals

  A few years ago I wrote a feature in New Times called Foie Wars, in which a dozen local chefs offered their views on the bloated liver controversy. I bring this up not to revisit the debate, but rather as a cheesy way to recycle a past article for self-promotional reasons. And also because I thought it might be interesting to see what a couple of toques who had stopped serving foie gras are doing today, and to see what another one who was sitting on the fence has decided.

  Photo by Jipsy​Rewind your Walkman to Friday's totally '80s birthday party for aged-to-perfection Brian Antoni and Nick D'Annunzio at the The Viceroy at Club 50. This duo teamed up on a mission to resurrect their '80s glory days. One of the headline names was enough to drag me across the bridge − I rolled in solo, considering my date got drunk and passed out before the party even started (hey Noah − call me). No worries, I called in the b-team and it was game on. In no time I was elbow dee

  I reported yesterday that Area 31 was named as one of Esquire Magazine's Top 20 New Restaurants of 2009. Michelle Bernstein's Sra. Martinez also made the list. On the one hand, I apologize for missing that. On the other hand, the woman gets more than enough press. One more acknowledgement: Kaitlin Yelle of Meat Market got Mariani's nod for  "hostess of the year". "Her secret? To smile and be happy, and make the customer feel special." Sort of sounds like a dumb award, but in fact the host/h

  Doesn't the dude above (video by Jake Katel) just look-and sound- like the human embodiment of a Boston-brewed beer with a whopping 27% alcohol content? All he needs is one of those colonial get-ups and, like, a drunk horse by his side.Sam Adams brewmaster Bob Cannon invited Short Order to a "beer dinner" at the Upper Eastside eatery Michy's. This was a lot different than the beer dinners we usually treat ourselves to, which usually involve malt liquor and a peanut butter cracker. Chef Michelle
