For me, a really good gift is one that is creative, well thought out, and specific to the giftee. For example: While a Fantasy Football, Baseball, Basketball, Hockey, or Fly Fishing magazine subscription may be the perfect way to put a smile on the husband’s [...]

Back in May, Eating Brooklyn correspondent Holly Rayna Raub was kind enough to report on the newish Carroll Gardens eatery, Prime Meats from the point of view of a vegetarian. I returned last night with my Burger Club to sample some of their namesake. What I found was that they do meat good! [...]
