Gael Greene's Where to Eat 2001 Feeding Frenzy
"New York" January 1, 2001

Navigating the city's vast, spectacular smorgasbord isn't easy. But luckily, our insatiable critic has eaten everything-from perfectly seared steak at Baldoria to foie gras and truffles at Le Bernardin to the quintessential junk-food fix at Peanut Butter & Co-so you won't have to.

An allusion to my weakness for Jujyfruits, Drake's crumb cake, and chocolate bridge mix. If you're not a peanut-butter freak, you don't need to know that I practically had to be dragged from Peanut Butter & Co. to be kept from gobbling a second half of the Elvis-a grilled peanut-butter sandwich with banana, honey, and bacon. I ordered it on whole wheat, even though I know Elvis would've preferred white. It comes garnished with potato chips and carrot sticks. (Just like Mom, sneaking in those carrot sticks.) They'll even cut off the crusts for you.
