Brooklyn has food

Okay, so Brooklyn may not have the internet, but it does have food. And mighty tasty food, at that. Take a gander at what I (and a special guest star) had at Red Hot the very first night I was there:

 
Red Hot Black Bean Tofu and Golden Green Jade

Q:  Does it get better than this?

A:  No, it does not.

A special shout-out (ugggh) to my adorable boy pals Cody and Cameron for suggesting the Red Hot Black Bean Tofu and Golden Green Jade, respectively. This scientifically proves my theorem that fellas (who, themselves, are red hot) whose names begin with "C" make fantastic recommendations.

Thanks, boys.


Update/Clarification, 1:21 p.m.:  Yes, I have had both of these dishes before. You may have noticed them in my Jodeats gallery. I would link to that gallery, but, really, it's a bit of a mess right now, what with html lying around, all out in the open. Still, it's there, if you want to check it out. But please know that I will not be held responsible if you trip over anything. "Slip and fall", my ass.

Oh yum, I don't know which dish looks better. I'll call it a tie :) Thanks for the comment on my blog because now I found your witty blog. Hope you try the Peanut Butter Filled Chocolate Cookies...words can't described how freakin' awesome they are. LOL

All tofu looks the same. Just like us Jews.

it's true.

I cannot begin to tell you how I envy the multitude of ways you can find tofu served in New York. I think there are only two ways in St. Louis: deep fried and stir fried. I will eat both of those, of course, but one would like a little variety now and then.

Places that do not have internet access must have copious amounts of tofu and gluten, that was on pamphlets...right?

I was going to comment on the amazing array of edible panancea and the complete lack of anything even remotely resembling gastrointestinal glory here in the midwest,

but the thought of Jodi suffering has me all aflutter.

And that is making my stomach churn, too.

Alas, the scallion pancake photos came out entirely too blurry and thus did the beauty of the dish absolutely no justice. I suppose this means that the next time I am at Red Hot, I will have to get not only the dish Cody suggests but the scallion pancake as well. Ahhh, the suffering I must endure. The suffering.

What? No scallion pancake photos? Mr. Hot is quite offended that the best $2.95 in Brooklyn didn't get front page coverage on the premier food-image site on the internet. Red, she apologizes really. Please don't stop making that incredible home-made mustard sauce, just because it has been slighted in favor of the more visually appealing tofu dishes. Everyone knows the tofu is only as good as the condiments it is served with!

Cody, I (we) had the vegetarian General Tso's "Chicken" another day, and just about died from the excitement. No exaggeration. We're going to make special trips back, and I'll make sure to hit up the dish you suggest here!

Offered by: Jodi on February 21, 2007 2:42 PM

You need to hit up the Kung Pow Wheat Glutens next time. Those are gangster as hell.

Offered by: Cody Clarke on February 21, 2007 2:37 PM

OMG, that looks so good, and I don't even really like tofu too much. It makes my sandwich look sadder than it already looks. :)
