Welcome to The Best Thing I Ate Yesterday, where we endeavor to remember the very best thing we stuffed down our gullets over the past 24 hours. Why? Because the only thing better than enjoying a meal is wallowing in the memory of one savored in the recent past.
Today’s fond reminiscences …
Chantal Martineau: Lightly pickled Blue Point oysters at Vandaag (103 Second Avenue, 212-253-0470) — a special, but I hope they stay!
Robert Sietsema: Lamb shanks braised in cheap white wine with porcini mushrooms and “peanut” potatoes — at home.
Sarah DiGregorio: Ginger soda at Brooklyn Farmacy (513 Henry Street).
Rebecca Marx: Cajun corn and crab chowder at the Lobster Place (Chelsea Market, 75 Ninth Avenue, 212-255-5672).
