Recipe Charles Prime American Cheeseburger NYC

 



Au Cheval Single Cheeseburger



The Au Cheval Cheeseburger is one tasty burger that's on the menu of the Chicago restaurant Au Cheval. They make a damn tasty Cheeseburger that first gained fame in at the restaurant in Chicago and now being served at this Chicago company's restaurant 4 Charles Prim at 4 Charles Street in New York's Greenwich Village. I found out about the place through my cousins Eddie and Joe who knew of it, raved about it, and said we have to go. I was salivating at the thought, and it would take a few months until we did, until one night I got a call from my cousin Joe. I answered my cel and Joe asked me, "Danny, what are you doing?" 
"Nothing," I said.

"We're gong to Charles Prime tonight," Joe told me. "We've got a reservation at 12 Midnight. We're at Cipriani, come and meet us." And so I did. I put on a nice shirt, my best watch (Tag Steve McQueen Monaco Chronograph), and threw on my Harris Tweed Jacket and off I was to Cipriani Downtown. My cousins Joe, Tommy, and Eddie were there with two of Tommy's friends who I'd never met before. Joe ordered me a Negroni and we had a great time. I always love going to Cipriani and was excited at the prospect of going to Charles Prime and finally getting to eat one of their famous Au Cheval Burgers. We chit chatted and drank our cocktails and at 11:40 pm we left Cipriani to head over to Charles Prime a few minutes away.

We got to Charles Prime and were greeted warmly by the staff, as Tommy had already laid the groundwork. He had eaten there already, got to know the staff, and endeared himself to them, and we "Were in like Flynn." We sat down and ordered some Bourbon Old Fashions to start us off.

I'm going to make the rest of this story speed up a little. We had all sorts of things to eat; Crab Cocktails, Prime Rib Steaks, all sorts of Potatoes, including Fries of course, Creamed Spinach, the famed Cheeseburgers, and I can't remember everything else. We had a couple bottles of good Bordeaux wine too. Now when all was said and done, I believe we should have skipped the Prime Rib and some of the other stuff. As it turned out, it was true, "the Cheeseburger was great," and we should have just stuck with that, and all eaten more of the burgers and less steak. We all felt like we didn't get to eat enough of the Cheeseburger and were yearning for more. So, if I go again, I'll skip the steak and everything else except maybe a Crab or Shrimp Cocktail, French Fries, and Creamed Spinach will be welcome and either one or two Cheeseburgers depending on how hungry I am, "and that's that. Basta!"

Sugo all Genovese - Recipe

 



Ziti con Sugo all' Genovese


Sugo all' Genovese is one of Italy's great meat ragus for pasta, loved by Neapolitans and inhabitants of the Amalfi Coast and Salerno. Though famous in the region of Naples, though Americans and Italian-Americans in particular know and love many of the great dishes of Italy, very few people in America know of this dish, even Italian-Americans. This is a shame, as it is quite wonderful, and a dish everyone who taste it, just loves the dish. 

This ragu is rich and tasty, and many would be surprise how many onions go into the ragu, as well as the fact that there is only a very small amount of tomato product that goes into the ragu which contains, as we've said, a lot of onions, beef (Chuck is Best), small amounts of celery, carrots, red wine, and a bit of tomato paste. Everything is slow cooked for about 2 & 1/2 hours until the beef is succulent and tender, and the onions have practically disappeared and all the ingredients have combined to make a most tasty ragu to dress your Maccheroni with (Ziti is preferred).

Sugo Genovese is one of those Italian dishes that you might categorize as a two-for dish, in that when you make it, you will get two courses to eat from the one pot. Cook some Ziti, or any short maccheroni pasta you like, and dress it with a bit of the Ragu. Then you can serve some larger pieces of the Braised Beef for a main course, and accompanied with some polenta or boiled potatoes. This is classic Cucina Povera, and a means to stretch a small amount of meat as much as possible, getting a number of portions from just one or two pounds of meat.
