United Bakery definitely doesn't have a location in NYC...
Watching Emeril on Food Network. He's got a guest star tonight, Mario Batali. It's no coincidence, of course, that the first episode of the new season of "Iron Chef America" follows this show and Mario is the Iron Chef.
The show is kinda neat, they're doing split-screen shots of the two chefs, and they're both walking over to each other, commenting and cracking jokes. There's a good rapport here.
The first dishes for each were a bruschetta for Mario and a muffeletta sandwich for the E-man. I don't know where Emeril got this round loaf of bread from for the muff, but it certainly wasn't United Bakery on St. Bernard Avenue. He's talking about how we hollow out the bread when we make a muff. Maybe with that goofy thing you're making, cap. In Emeril's defense, however, his olive salad is just excellent, and his meats and cheeses are to-die-for. That's the obvious plus of being in NYC.
Emeril then made gorgonzola gnocchi and Mario did homemade pasta with garlic and mushrooms. Now they're both doing softshell crabs...yum!
