Good afternoon and happy Monday. I’ve been busy trying to pull together the Philly v. New York food article for Wednesday, so I’m just now getting to the blog. Apologies to all — and look for a post soon. I’m hoping for your involvement in the battle between cheesesteaks and pizzas!

Speaking of pizzas, I made a Spanish pizza called “coca” on Saturday. (I twittered the whole process… if you want to see video of me making the dough, check out my twitter feed at twitter.com/small_bites.)

The topping has onions, rosemary, currants and pine nuts, along with oil and vinegar.

The recipe comes from “The New Spanish Table,” by Anya von Bremzen, does this recipes for braised chicken with lemon and saffron:

All that rain on Saturday… I just felt like braising. I’ve got plenty for lunch this week! On Sunday we hit Morgan’s Pubick House in Tappan for a quick pub dinner with the family. I had the chiliburger. Pretty good! And with that, here’s what people have been talking about this weekend:

Westchester magazine is out. A few highlights:
Julia’s review of Crabtree’s Kittle House. Some ups, some downs. It gets a “very good.” (WM)
Frank Pepe’s in Yonkers, with some history of Ricky’s Clam Bar thrown in for good measure. (WM)
BYOB: recommendations and corkage fees. (WM)
Amuse Bouche. (WM)
Rinku goes to Sam’s Italian Restaurant.
Karen goes to Stew’s to meet Aaron Sanchez. (CCbCC)
Sharon gets “lured” by the $15 dinner at Goldfish. (TGL)
Doug has a ton of photos of Sweet Teez, the new candy shop in Larchmont. (HT)
Doug and his family have a so-so experience at American Bounty at the Culinary Institute of America. (HT)
Doug, writing for Westchester mag’s Eater, visits Frankie & Fanucci’s in Hartsdale. (WE)
