Choice Bites 9.30.10

Want to know more about Joe Bastianich, son of Lidia, partner to Mario Batali, and judge to Gordon Ramsay? Me, neither. But there's a piece on him in the New York Times.

When I was a kid, one could get a sandwich with a side of "Saratoga chips" at Hutzler's lunch counter. I always thought that potato chips were named thusly because of the store's relative proximity to Saratoga Street. In actuality, the favorite snack food was apparently invented in Saratoga Springs, NY. The NY Times has the original recipe, plus an update.
