Last year it was all about the ramen burger. But one month into 2015 and New York already has a new It sandwich.
M. Wells Dinette, the French-Canadian restaurant at MoMA's PS1 outpost in Long Island City, has been selling up to 100 of its $13 spaghetti sandwiches per day since it was listed on the menu a week ago.
The dish sees spaghetti in a tomato-garlic sauce take the place of a patty. The noodles are mixed with pecorino cheese then coated in egg and baked in a blini pan to hold them together.

the ravioli burger.
What crap. I made this yesterday for breakfast: I had leftover pasta, leftover pot rost, and old burrito bread. It’s called leftovers.
Low calorie is not a good diet.
Take the food pyramid and pretty much turn it upside down.
The home cookbook to get:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_bonne_cuisine_de_Madame_E._Saint-Ange
everything from how to cut up a chicken to sauces to fish poaching, etc., etc.
It’s not just recipes, it a lot of techniques - if you learn everything in that book - you won’t need to eat out, since you’ll know the real ways to cook as professionals do and some workable home cook shortcuts. And when you do eat out you’ll usually like your home cooking better unless you’re in a very good restaurant.
You can eat very, very well, like a king as they say - for very little money.
Ever have pot roast ? That’s a french classic, braised beef. Ever have it where it’s fork tender, packed with flavor, served in a sauce so flavorful it brings back happy memories of happier times when you eat it ? Now you’re talking real braised beef.
It’s mostly all normal stuff, aside from a few vegetables that most people don’t eat much that my grandmother made all the time, like swiss chard.
The secret: fat = flavor, animal fats contain nutrients that are fantastic for your health, and fat also tells your body that you are full.
Carbs, on the other hand, with no fat - as you eat them, your mind never gets the “full” signal, so you keep shoveling them in your mouth, you keep wanting more.
People who weigh 800 pounds and have to have the fire company come saw them out of their house - they’re addicted to carbs.
Flavor also is satisfying, telling your mind that you’re “full”. Vegetables, salads - in French cooking are prepared to maximize flavor, in every detail, from how they’re cut to how they’re served.
Cooking technique is designed to add flavor to flavor with the ingredients, to concentrate flavor, such as when sauces are reduced. And, very nicely for us, generally (the chef knows) flavor = nutrition. If your food tastes bland and yucky, chances are you’ve cooked out a lot of the nutrients. If you made it from scratch, and it’s packed with flavor, where it makes you smile and be very satisfied, chances are you’ve got good nutrients in there.
All this, combined with eating a bit slower, relaxing and enjoying the meal - means that portions wind up being smaller.
Exactly, who orders pasta in a restaurant ? It’s like a 20 cent meal for $15.
exactly, next they’ll discover tripe
“and then
the $35 burger with Obama-BS in it?”
And you won’t (don’t) even have to eat it. It’s automatically shoved down your throat.
I like your one better:)

There are also “spaghetti burgers” in a number of places. For example, according to a few news sites, such burgers have been sold in Japan.
There are also recipes, with a range of possible variations.
Is the “spaghetti burger” a spaghetti-flavored burger with no pasta? Does it instead contain sauced spaghetti with no patty? Does it contain both?
If there is a meat patty, is it actually at least part something else, such as Italian sausage? Does the sauce have meat in it? Is there other meat in some form inside the burger?
I’ve even seen versions where the boiled spaghetti is then fried in a bun-like shape (cf. noodle nests) and substitutes for the buns. I wouldn’t be that surprised to see a version where the “buns” are meat patties, with spaghetti and sauce inside.

Haha. Yes indeed. How considerate of him
Thank you!
Pastrami ranks right there at #2 as a food group. That would be just below #1, Bacon.

Yep. The liberals are now paying $13 for a sandwich made from leftovers. And last years big innovation was an expensive sandwich made from Ramen noodles.
Same here for this Dutch kid! The Army helped reinforce it too. Of course in Basic, everything was made into a sandwich!
