Pep mush and clam bacon pies from 1943 Pizza in Greenport, NY. Utterly fantastic, some of the best I’ve had in years. Wow.

For those in need of such guidance, 1996 Salon is quite possibly the greatest champagne ever made and is somehow, impossibly, better out of 750ml than magnum.

Highlights of a recent afternoon spent sipping legends.

DRC 05 RSV was rich, deeply savory but with a molé like sweetness. Krug 08 CdM like a planet destroying laser beam, far from cohesive maturity. Salon 96, absolute perfection, electricity…magic. Everything champagne could hope to be.

There’s just no better time to be eating than the fall. Summer demands restraint, but now it’s time to fucking cook.

Staying my journey on here properly. Whole wheat sourdough, toasted in an herb compound butter, and filled with jumbo lump crab, Gruyère, and red chile cheddar. Served with two tone caviar.
