Dumpling Roundup

by jbfauthor on October 23, 2009

JBF loves dumplings Thanks to everyone who shared their favorite dumpling joint with us yesterday. After an exhaustive analysis of the results, "Erwin Chuk' and "subie38" have emerged as the winners of the official NYC Dumpling Festival t-shirts. Congrats! Many spots in New York City's Chinatown got a mention, including Vanessa's Dumplings, Joe's Shanghai, and New Green Bo. Bostonians enjoy Wang's Fast Food, while Petite Soo Chow sates our fellow dumpling fiends in the Garden State. Down in Atlanta Chef Liu and Northern China Eatery both serve soup dumplings held together with a perfect skin. Out West, a reader loves the dumplings served during the Cantonese-style dim sum service at Koi Palace, located just south of San Francisco. In the somewhat dumpling-deprived city of Sacramento, New Canton does the trick. And for delicious pork dumplings with a view, head to China

Staff Recipe: Mitchell's Applesauce Spice Cake

by jbfauthor on October 23, 2009

applesauce Got some extra applesauce on your hands? Consider JBF vice president Mitchell Davis's sweet spice cake, which gets some extra moisture from leftover applesauce or jam. Want fresh applesauce? Mitchell has a recipe for that, too. It practically cooks itself. Feel free to substitute pears if you fancy them.

On the Menu: NYC Dumpling Festival

by jbfauthor on October 22, 2009

Dumpling t-shirt Ready your forks and chopsticks: the New York City Dumpling Festival is rolling into the Lower East Side this Saturday for a celebration of stuffed and crimped dough. The day's program includes a dumpling eating competition (last year's winner gobbled 66 dumplings in two minutes) and games for little dumpling lovers. General admission is free, and a measly five dollars gets you a globe-spanning dumpling plate piled with potstickers, pierogi, and lesser-known ilk like the Malaysian kuih koci. Dumpling t-shirts (above) will also be available for $15, but we've got two to give away this afternoon. For a chance to win one of these special garments, tell us about your favorite dumpling joint in a comment. Simply declaring "I love dumplings!" is not an eligible response
