NYC Tastes

Being an insane cheese lover I honestly have no idea why it took me so long to check out the restaurant Raclette. This tiny East Village spot specializes in la raclette which is basically a big round of Swiss Cheese melted over a raclette grill, then poured over potatoes, mushrooms and charcuterie.  There's really no reason to try and describe how delicious this is; I think the pictures speak for themselves.  Click on the video below to see all the super cheese goodness in action.

There only a few weeks left to check out a fantastic exhibit by one of the original members of the Eat Art Movement at the French Cheese Board in Midtown. Dorothée Selz   has been creating exhibits throughout her home country of France since the 1970's but this is just the 2nd time she has brought her stunning array of culinary creations to NYC. Just look at these cool edible creations from the gummy bear and Swiss cheese rounds to the whimsical slices of rainbow bread.  The entire space is like some wonderful Willy Wonka land of cheese and yeast. There's also a whole timeline of her past work with some amazing pictures of the extravagant edible art shes constructed throughout the world.  It's a short, fun exhibit; perfect for a stroll during lunch or a pre-dinner show.  The exhibit runs from 11:00 AM- 7:00 PM weekdays through November 15th; so catch it while you can.
