All the dishes/recipes sound terrific. What restaurant makes the best short ribs? Wed Mar 14 16:29:43 -0800 2001 0 Ruby 1 1361289 Had wonderful short ribs with horseradish mashed potatoes at the bar at Union Square Cafe.The other short rib meal that sticks to my memory was at the old Daniel. Thu Mar 15 00:11:31 -0800 2001 1361288 0 howard 2 1361293 Had some outrageous short ribs last May at Rauxa, the Catalan restaurant in Boston (Somerville, actually, I think.) I'm not sure if they're on the menu year-round. Definitely worth a detour when they are. These led to a highly successful attempt at home - improvised on NY Times Cookbook recipe for braised oxtails. Made them in anticipation of the promised "big storm" the other week. At least the ribs didn't fizzle out! Fri Mar 16 18:45:37 -0800 2001 1361289 0 Helen 3 1361294 FYI, Rauxa is now closed.

The ribs were part of a tasting menu and the one rib was so rich my companion and I together could barely finish it (but it was so good that we prevailed) Sat Mar 17 18:09:40 -0800 2001 1361294 0 ee 3 1361295 In Wed. N.Y. Times the short ribs article included recipes from restaurants.When I had them at the USC I was in the mood for comfort food. Daniel had it listed surprisingly as a signature dish. Sat Mar 17 00:03:01 -0800 2001 1361293 0 howard 1 1361290 Best short ribs I know are at La Portena in Jackson Heights. Thu Mar 15 09:27:19 -0800 2001 1361288 0 Jeremy Osner 1 1361297 I just made this recipe on Friday night (after salivating through the Wednesday NYT article.)I was afraid that it wouldn't work since the meat tends to be so soft after braising that it couldn't hold it's own on subsequent grilling. But work it did - absolutely delicious! It's hard to go too far wrong cooking short ribs. Andrew Sun Mar 18 13:35:24 -0800 2001 1361288 0 Weinhen 1 1361383 Second Avenue Delicatessen - Glorious. Carnegie Delicatessen is not bad either. Mon May 07 02:53:59 -0700 2001 1361288 0 George Feldan
