Tradition. It’s part of what makes this time of year so
magical. Regardless of personal beliefs, or personal motivations, people all
over the city take comfort in time-honored traditions that occur during the
holiday season. Whether it’s gathering in Rockefeller Center to marvel at the
lighting of the tree, or on 5th Avenue and 59th Street to stare in awe at the
world’s largest Hanukkah menorah, it’s tradition that brings people together.
The best part about tradition of course is being able to add to it and make it uniquely
your own.
Our chef Vincent Mangual has taken a page from that book,
and put a (w)hole new spin on traditional holiday sweets. Starting this week
4food welcomes back their decadent Chocolate
Tofu Mousse, set atop a dark chocolate disk and fresh strawberries. And for
a limited time Maple Crunch Mousse
will be joining the line-up, made with pure Vermont maple syrup, white
chocolate, and candied pretzels. It won’t matter if you were naughty or nice
this year, if you leave
Chocolate Chipotle Shortbread or Sesame
Ginger Shortbread for a certain someone - just two of the new shortbread
cookies available now. Milk Chocolate
Chip Shortbread and Classic
Shortbread are also on the roster. Pair any those with a cup of Hot Mulled
Cider and we do believe you will have created your own new holiday tradition!
ON THE CHART/CHARTBEAT: SEVERAL
NEWCOMERS, A VEGGIE GIRLFRIEND, AND ONE ANGUS BIRD
This week’s Buildboard Chart starts with a foursome tied at #10 comprised of one returner, two
newcomers, and an old faithful. GFARNOLI’S T
bird re-enters while ANGUSSHILLINGTON’S namesake ANGUS of Pressed
Rice-Turkey-Eggplant Parmesan-Pancetta
Bacon-Fontina-Lettuce-Onion-Pickle-Chipotle Pepper-Chutney makes its “drem”
debut alongside CVC8’S “really delicious and good for your heart and soul” Vege Out newcomer of Biscuit Muffin-Veggie-Eggplant
Parmesan-Avocado-Manchego-Lettuce-Tomato (the first Biscuit Muffin build to
chart) all keeping good company with AHARRIS’S platinum oldie but goodie CaliBurger. DOCKERYFARMS’S The Jerk Burger stays away from the
cans and within the middle of the pack at #6. Newcomer HALEYTURNER’S Your GF Veggie girlfriend of Pressed Rice-Veggie-Mushroom &
Onions-Avocado-Lettuce-Pickle-Tomato-Basil Pesto-Horseradish Cream offers
some flavor and spice and many things nice. ANGELA1126’S and Jake’s Mac & Cheese pancetta burger drops
one spot to #4. JFAVUZZA and his golden Better
Turkey Burger flap up again several perches to #3. Two delicious burgers
plus one avid 4foodie equates to the top two performing (w)holeburgers this
week with ALEXC’S confident The Manchego
Avocado at #2 as well his busy Midtown Cheddar Bacon which continues
its reign at #1.
