Food Trend: Anything Sriracha My Adaptation: I LOVE the spice of Sriracha, and most people use it as a condiment. But I wanted to make it the “star” of my sauce. I needed to cut the spice so I added lime and soy and olive oil. Inspiration: The Chili Lobster at Forgione in TriBeca more

Spicy Tuna “Burger”

Food Trend: Unusual Takes on Burgers My Adaptation: Spicy Tuna “Burgers” – This is a take on the trendy Tuna on Crispy Rice, but instead of a rice pillow, the tuna is between two rice “buns” Inspiration: Several months ago my friend Jen sent me a photo of a Spicy Tuna Burger. So when I […] more
