made https://food52.com/recipes/87664-lamb-burger-with-carmelized-fennel-and-onion
a few notes:

• recipe calls for half a onion and half a fennel to be caramelized for 4 burgers. i dont get this. i caramelized exactly half an onion and fennel but it was like not enough for 3 burgers let alone 4 lol. i would rather just do a whole onion and whole fennel its nonsensical to me to do half. i also mandolined it rather than sliced it so maybe that impacted but idk id rather b more generous with caramelized onions than less
• recipe calls for said half onion and fennel to be caramelized for 10 min. that amt of time is entirely too little. again, maybe my onion was sliced thinner than the recipe images but caramelized onion takes like 40 min for even lightly caramelized onions so idk
• resting the patties for 10 min was entirely too long imo it was lukewarm
• and a 12 min cook time on medium also felt long--mine were just fully cooked at the end and i did 10

really tasty though even with all that
also
subbed watercress with micro arugula
subbed chevre with good quality sheepsmilk feta
storebought brioche buns toasted heavily with bacon fat

russ and daughters pastrami lox w scallion cream cheese and capers tomatoes onions on an everything bagel--hit

also want to lev's residency at bistrot leo. really good, i enjoyed everything. felt like a very unique voice which i liked

'hugging sabich': eggplant, tahini, amba, parsley & soft egg
eggplant was beautifully roasted, was most excited for this one

burik: egg, potato, grated tomatoes, green spicy, tahini, pickle plate

'white fish cigars': bass marinated in harissa, olives, lemon, cilantro wrapped in phyllo and served w spicy lemon juice. these hit
'pasta burekas': spinach & ricotta, grated tomato, parmesan. i think the burekas bit was just bc of the rolled shape tbh, felt v italian in influence rather than israeli but still v good. also idk why this one is burekas while the other is burik i think theyre the same thing???? idk tho if anyone else does fl free 2 state it bc i am curious indeed

everything shnitzel: "garlic aioli, harissa ketchup, mustard & salad"

harissa ketchup hit

bonbon eclairs with chocolate bitter orange and sicilian pistachios. idk why bonbon eclair per se these r cream puffs

malabi knafeh: rose syrup & Sicilian pistachios
very good. best knafeh ive had ever but i have genuinely only ever had like 2 knafehs so u know grain of salt

might b the most unique take on israeli food in nyc tbh

f*** the other japanese milk bread /tangzhong milk bread/ shokupan recipe this is the one
https://eatlittlebird.com/japanese-milk-bread-loaf/
the texture is way better the rise is better etc justonecookbook does me right generally but she did not take it on the milk breads

again, just used a reg loaf pan rather than a special shokupan pan but it turned out so nice
i also did an egg wash this time

yesterday we went 2 mission sandwich social for the guga foods collab
koji dry aged strip steak, cabbage slaw, miso mayo, togarashi, caramelized onion + mushrooms

also got the bulgogi / kimchi / mozz / random other s*** sandwich on their reg menu
and the pineapple spam potato salad special

steak sando and potato salad were rly nice, guga went off w the steak it was very tender and flavorful

the bulgogi sandwich was not good at all imo
it was soooo salty and had 2 much raw kimchi on it imo. like it just tasted like kimchi w hints of bulgogi on bread lol

and also i had the most abhorrent time trying to digest it
like overall would not want to ever try to eat again

the dutch crunch is not as good as ikes
