Congratulations Brombergs
Bruce and Eric Bromberg run the 18-year-old Blue Ribbon, once a sneaky wee-hour eats-and-drinks brasserie for New York City chefs, now a ridiculously eclectic nine-restaurant chain hopping culinary traditions faster than a Sixth Avenue Express. You can scarf marrow and shrimp cocktail at the flagship original, sushi on Sullivan Street, and a root beer float at the Downing Street bakery. On April 24, the brothers Bromberg will share their unique success story when they appear at Omnivore Books to promote their new Blue Ribbon Cookbook (Clarkson Potter, $35). If you want a tease, check out last month’s Saveur. A review ran down Blue Ribbon’s recipe for “Northern” fried chicken coated in vigorously beaten egg whites, flour, spices, and matzo, usually served alongside crisp-cooked collards and mashed potatoes.
