Fat of the Land

By Laura Cassidy | Wed, February 22, 2006

Sitting over an appetizer of three lobster corn dogs ($14) at Scott Simpson's new Fork, I finally made peace with the idea of "New American" cuisine. Biting through bubbled, crisp, cakelike corn batter into a luscious knob of buttery lobster meat ... More »
