  Alan Richman, holder of 14 James Beard Foundation Journalism awards and famous writer for GQ, dishes on which restaurants to visit in New York for high cuisine. Anthony Bordain wrote an entire chapter titled “Alan Richman Is a Douchebag,” so he is clearly someone worth listening to.

  Spotted at Jezalin’s in the new mixed retail space Limelight, this $150/lb ham looked more like art than food. Next time I will try some.
  Wikipedia says, “This ham is from free-range pigs that roam oak forests (called la dehesa) along the border between Spain and Portugal, and eat only acorns during this last period. [...]
