Happy Hour 4:00 – 7:00 PM (Interior Photos By Gail. Food Photos By Anne Raso).
In the twenty five years I’ve lived in Manhattan, I’ve never known there to be a dearth of inventive new restaurants popping up in the trendy Flatiron District. Of course, there’s always room for one more, especially when that place does everything as impressively as Prandial. This American Bistro flaunts an interior that’s a perfect balance of rustic and elegant, and a kitchen expertly helmed by Executive Chef Pierre Rougey (formerly of Raoul’s) – a man whose firm handshake is as memorable as his cuisine.
First, fill your shot glass 1/3 with strawberry syrup.
Next, carefully add another 1/3 of creme-de-banana.
For the top layer, mix some white overproof Jamaican rum with green creme-de-mint and fill the glass the rest of the way.
The secret to the layers is simple: progressively lighter fluids poured slowly will float nicely on top of each other. Mixing the overproof white rum with the creme-de-mint makes the green top layer the lightest and strongest part of the shot.
Like many transplanted Californians living in Manhattan, I am always on the lookout for good Mexican food, which can be a challenge. That’s probably why I generally have a package of tortillas in my fridge, so I can satisfy a Mexican food craving on short notice by whipping up a tasty Quesadilla with whatever I have on hand. Because it’s the little things that make a difference.
This past week, I attended the Editor Showcase press event featuring healthy and nutritious foods. One of my favorite exhibitors was the La Tortilla Factory, where they were serving mini chicken wraps in their booth, made with their yummy reduced fat flour tortillas. Smart & Delcious Flour Tortillas have 1/3 fewer calories of regular flour tortillas, and they taste amazing. I made sure to toss a package in my swag bag as I made my rounds
Avocado Central Dot Com was also on hand, representing Hass Avocados, offering many delicious avocado recipes to sample and promoting healthy facts about Avocados — the world’s most misunderstood fruit. They also had a big bowl of Hass Avocados to give away, so you can be sure one found its way into my bag, because I already knew I was going to be bringing that creamy avocado fruit together with my newly acquired package of tortillas.
Today I made this delicious lunch for myself:
Ingredients (Click on any Photo to Enlarge for Detail)
Melt grated cheddar or colby cheese on the tortilla in a warm, lightly greased non-stick pan.
Add as many thin slices of ripe Hass Avocado as you please.
Top with a second tortilla and grill on other side until lightly browned. Garnish with a drizzle of hot sauce and more avocado, slice into quarters and enjoy! So Yummy!

Food Fête is an intimate, semi-annual press event that connects gourmet food, beverage and kitchenware products, all the way to new cookbook recipes. I attended my first Food Fête event last year and they hooked me up with some delicious food stories that you got to read right here on The Worley Gig, such as Kettle Brand Chips, Cucina Fresca Gourmet Mac and Cheese and Emmi Fondue. Because writing about food is awesome.
