Reader Mail: Knives, Books, Spotted Pig Prices, Food Allergies, and A Visit From San Francisco
We've got lots of questions from readers this week, so let's get started. The first is a series of five questions from Vickie. Hi Adam! AG is a real inspiration for me--I've tried a number of your recommended recipes. I have some questions for you, and I hope to hear back from you about them!...
Reader Query: Martha's Vineyard Eats?
Knowledgeable readers, we have a question from reader Brandy H. that I cannot answer. Please help her in the comments! We are going to Martha's Vineyard in August (from Los Angeles), where we have rented a house so that I can cook. I am wondering if you have any culinary knowledge of the island? Do the island summer markets feature a unique local specialty? Is the island known for having a particularly heavy crop of strawberries, squash or tomatoes? Is there perhaps an island spin on the ubiquitous lobster roll, clam bake or crab boil? Also, what are the restaurants that should not be missed? In short, I am wondering what should be on the Amateur Gourmet's dining itinerary for both cooking in, and eating out (fine and casual) on Martha's Vineyard?...
Reader Mail, Letter #8472 (Cheap Eats New York)

We're both avid readers of your site and really into food/cooking. We're coming up to NYC for 2 days at the beginning of August and we'd like to know what places are MUST go-tos (preferably) that are cheap, as we're poor college kids); we want to hit all the classics for pizza, bagels, etc. What are your suggestions? Thanks!! D & M...
