Jared Metz goes bistro

DB Bistro Moderne

Fast, convenient and delicious

A modern French-American bistro where the traditions of French cuisine meet the flavors of the American market with a menu reflecting the changing seasons and a focus on the simplicity of fine ingredients. DB is Daniel Boulud’s interpretation of the new generation of Parisian bistros whose classically trained chefs offer creative cuisine in a casual, comfortable and contemporary setting. His New York rendition combines the youthful energy of his adopted city with the Gallic flair of the country he left behind. Located in midtown at the crossroads of fashion and theater, Daniel Boulud’s latest restaurant promises dining that is as easy going and convivial as it is delicious.  My favorite: lobster salad on the lunch menu.

Jared Metz finds the world’s best pizza

I live in New York which is the capital of fine dining. But it is also the capital of good eating. While I am going to use this blog to talk about the fine restaurants in New York and around the city, I also want to tell you about some of the best food you can get anywhere.

That’s why I am starting my blog with my personal favorite, Di Fara’s Pizzeria in Brooklyn, NY. Many say this little pizzeria serves the best pies in New York City and I agree with them.  DeFara’s has been in business over 40 years and for every one of those years every pie was made personally by owner Domenico DeMarco.

Every pie is handmade with Dom’s special method. That’s why the pizza tastes so good.
Here’s how he does it: The homemade dough is stretched out before you. Then the homemade sauce is ladled on, with tomatoes imported from Salerno, Italy. After the sauce comes the cheese. De Marco hand-shreds three types of mozzarella onto the pie, including an imported buffalo mozzarella from his hometown of Caserta, Italy. After a quick drizzle of golden olive oil, into the oven it goes.

After checking the crust on each pie, another round of fresh olive oil is poured on. This is followed by a fresh handful of Parmigiano Reggiano. Then, for the final step, De Marco walks to the windows in the corner, where he grows his own basil, and cuts the basil fresh onto each individual pie.

All this takes a little longer and costs a little more. But if you want to eat the best pizza in the world, make a stop at DiFara’s. It is the favorite pizza of Jared Metz.
