That the new chef has come from Mistral is less than shocking. The food is not aiming for haute cuisine, but it is far from simple. The new Harvest menu rests in the trendy nexus of haute comfort food, with such offerings as "Fried Green Tomatoes with Peeky Toe Crab and Spicy Cucumber Louis Sauce ($13)." Fried green tomatoes, sure, yet peeky-toe crab radically changes the complexion of the dish. Foie gras from Hudson Valley is another appetizer, toned down into a 'sandwich' on homemade brioche with pancetta and dried cherries ($14). Alternatively, a dish enigmatically billed as "Pumpkin...
...resident chef of Cafe Japonaise has a point. A soy bath drowns out the nutty taste of more delicate fish like suzuki (sea bass) or yellowtail. Crab sticks ($3) are supported by thin strips of cucumber and held together by a ribbon of seaweed on top of a gently formed and richly textured ball of rice. Velvety tuna is pounded into the texture of tartar and mixed with scallions in the Tuna and Scallion Roll ($4.50). Iridescent slabs of yellowtail arrive on a platter ($16.50) with translucent pink tuna slices, striated salmon, and a seaweed purse brimming with giant...
Lane's father taught her the nature lore, pointing out signs to the youngest of his seven children on the family farm where Lane still lives.

The club excluded women from voting, prime tee times and the men's grill. In the months that followed, Martin reportedly received threatening phone calls, her crab-apple trees were uprooted from her lawn, and her Himalayan cat, Max, was poisoned. She later reached a settlement with the club, which included $45,000 for her legal fees...
...nesting beach in Mexico (only a few survive) and then swim madly out to sea, where they are carried by the Gulf Stream all the way up to Long Island, N.Y. (it takes three to five years), where they feed for a year on the defenseless spider crab as a training exercise before they take off again and swim down to the Chesapeake Bay area in Maryland, where they eat the much tougher blue claw crab for which the Long Island boot camp has prepared them? Needless to say, they made my inventory...
