New York: ABC Kitchen - Portobello Burger. Having become a Vegetarian, sometimes I crave a good hamburger, though today, the thought of a meat burger just
makes me shudder. Therefore, it was with great satisfaction that at Michelin Star Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s ABC
Kitchen I discovered the Portobello Burger which thoroughly satisfied my craving
for a good burger.

Union Square
Farmer’s Market: Bulich Mushroom. The Bulich family
has been growing mushrooms overlooking the Hudson River in the Catskill, NY for
three generations. Their only retail market point is the Union Square Farmer's Market
where you can find the great variety of ‘shrooms they cultivate; Portobellos, Criminis, Shitake,
white Buttons and Oysters which are all picked and sold within 24 hours in
plain brown paper bags. The big fat Portobellos are perfect for burgers and can also be used for Michelle Bulich's pizza base.
