For an afternoon pick-me-up, it doesn't get much better than radishes: crunchy and just a touch spicy, they're pure fun to eat. And what isn't made better by the addition of butter and salt? I'll tell you: nothing.
I know, I know...it's Thursday. But this particular Try This Tuesday just felt like the perfect kickoff to the last official weekend of summer.
My family and I have been frequenting Il Fornaio for years, mostly because it's an inexpensive gem of a hole-in-the-wall that's nothing like the overpriced tourist traps that make up the bulk of the restaurants on the Mulberry strip.
I've never eaten banh mi before. Shameful, I know. Happily, I corrected that little problem earlier this afternoon at Baoguette, a Vietnamese sandwich shop in Gramercy that Kendrick frequents for lunch.
Very excellent, flavorful stuff, and very easy - about 35 minutes start-to-finish, and about $20 for the whole shebang (serves 2 with potential for leftovers).
