Transcript
Speaker A:

I'm Chris Lindstrom, and this is the Food About Town podcast.

Speaker A:

Rochester.

Speaker A:

Well, why Rochester?

Speaker A:

Chris Lindstrom was a hoot.

Speaker A:

He was just so much fun.

Speaker A:

He never stopped talking.

Speaker A:

I mean, it was great.

Speaker A:

Here's a good idea.

Speaker A:

Have a point.

Speaker A:

It makes it so much more interesting for the listener, and we don't need any characters around to give the joint atmosphere.

Speaker A:

Is that clear?

Speaker A:

Because I'm a pro.

Speaker A:

That's what pros do.

Speaker A:

I'm a professional.

Speaker A:

Look it up in the book.

Speaker A:

But now, yeah, I'm thinking I'm back.

Speaker A:

And we are back with another episode of the Food About Town podcast.

Speaker A:

Food About Town bites today.

Speaker A:

And I am talking about some recent travels.

Speaker A:

Went to Flushing in Queens over the, you know, sometime in late December.

Speaker A:

Kind of want to talk about that a little bit.

Speaker A:

Haven't really done that on the podcast much and wanted to talk about some recent episodes and some of the updates in the studio.

Speaker A:

So I kind of just want to dive into.

Speaker A:

Kind of want to dive into Flushing because this was one of the just absolute coolest places I have ever visited.

Speaker A:

So weirdly, since, you know, I grew up in Buffalo and live in Rochester, this was only my second time in New York City after 41 years on this planet.

Speaker A:

This was only my second time.

Speaker A:

We went as part of our honeymoon.

Speaker A:

Carrie and I went and we bounced around.

Speaker A:

We stayed outside of Brooklyn the last time, and this was the second time.

Speaker A:

And I really wanted to explore and learn about.

Speaker A:

Learn about Queens and learn about Flushing specifically.

Speaker A:

Actually, kind of spurred it was a Josh Weissman video on YouTube.

Speaker A:

And I had a bunch of time off at the end of the year, so decided to take advantage of that time and found some fairly affordable accommodations right in Flushing, which was just fantastic.

Speaker A:

Flew into LaGuardia and kind of spent the, you know, spent four days during the middle of the week just bouncing around and eating and truly enjoying the downtime, which I'm really bad at in general.

Speaker A:

I see.

Speaker A:

See, my buddy Chris Clemens was.

Speaker A:

Is listening or was listening for a little bit.

Speaker A:

And something we've definitely talked about is I.

Speaker A:

I really have trouble really relaxing.

Speaker A:

So there.

Speaker A:

There's something about the experience of being in an area that is not made for you.

Speaker A:

And it's something special about.

Speaker A:

Something special about Flushing because it's so densely, you know, and I don't know, the full demographics, the full destin.

Speaker A:

You know, the full density of Chinese culture in Flushing is, you know, it's omnipresent in the absolute best possible way.

Speaker A:

Obviously, there's way more than Just Chinese, there's, you know, Japanese and Korean and many other things, but it's really focused on that.

Speaker A:

And there's something very comforting about me being the person, me being not the default.

Speaker A:

That was like relaxing in a way I didn't fully understand until I got there.

Speaker A:

Like, you know, we stayed, you know, right in the heart of, you know, right in the heart of flushing, right on 39th and.

Speaker A:

What street is this?

Speaker A:

39th and Prince.

Speaker A:

And from there we could walk within five minutes to an amazing, just amazing amount of places.

Speaker A:

And every place we went.

Speaker A:

Of course I did research because I'm an obsessive nerd, but you know, the places we just ran into were fantastic.

Speaker A:

So I kind of want to talk through some of the kind of places.

Speaker A:

I'm not going to talk about every place because it would be a bit overwhelming, but I want to talk about a lot of the kind of places and a few places in specific.

Speaker A:

So a couple actually got from the Josh Weissman video on YouTube.

Speaker A:

If you don't follow Josh and you're a real food person, I think he's a great introduction to many different cooking techniques.

Speaker A:

Uh, it's approachable.

Speaker A:

You know, he's a younger guy.

Speaker A:

He's got a, you got a fun video style, amazing video quality.

Speaker A:

Really impressed all the time with what he does.

Speaker A:

And we were watching one of a couple of his travel videos where he went to Flushing specifically and then Queens in general and found his favorite places.

Speaker A:

So I definitely grabbed a few from there and went to a few of those.

Speaker A:

One of those was Maxi's noodle.

Speaker A:

When he was bouncing around, he was bouncing around with the owner.

Speaker A:

But we went and just had an amazing experience.

Speaker A:

They had these beautiful thin duck, duck egg yolk noodles with this beautiful braised beef and rich broth and these super delicate dumplings in there as well.

Speaker A:

You had a lot of different choices, but place was fantastic.

Speaker A:

So small, so fantastic.

Speaker A:

Just really enjoyed it.

Speaker A:

Tons of bubble tea places.

Speaker A:

Terrible, terrible Coffee in Flushing.

Speaker A:

Didn't find a single place that I wanted to have coffee.

Speaker A:

So we did end up drinking bubble tea a decent amount or like non sweetened teas as much as we could find them because the coffee in that area was bad.

Speaker A:

We went to a place I'm not going to name and it was one of the worst coffee experiences I've had in the last year.

Speaker A:

But what was great was so many places where you could just walk up to a window and, and get a tremendous value of food for, you know, a very, for a reasonable price and amazing quality And I want to talk about a few of those because that, that's the stuff that just made me so truly happy in a way.

Speaker A:

That's hard.

Speaker A:

It's hard to describe because I get honestly disappointed when things are bad or people aren't trying hard to make something really good.

Speaker A:

And that's something I really didn't run into very much at all when we were bouncing around one of the places, place called White Bear.

Speaker A:

So again, this is like a three minute walk from our hotel.

Speaker A:

I'm definitely staying at this hotel again, if you're interested.

Speaker A:

By the way, if you go during the middle of the week, this area is wildly affordable to stay.

Speaker A:

Like New York is obviously crazy expensive.

Speaker A:

Going to Manhattan, going to Brooklyn even now, and many areas around there.

Speaker A:

But the hotel actually was pretty reasonable.

Speaker A:

It was off season, obviously, but we stay in the middle of the week and I think the hotel would have only cost like 1:30, $140 a night.

Speaker A:

So for being in New York City, like, you know, Google Maps is telling me $127 a night right now.

Speaker A:

So we stayed at the Hyatt Place, Flushing LaGuardia.

Speaker A:

Shuttle right to the hotel was awesome.

Speaker A:

But one of the places around the corner was a place called White Bear, which really just focused on wontons, but they weren't in a soup.

Speaker A:

I think they did have some soup versions as well, but we had them with this chili oil with these salty sauteed onions and garlic.

Speaker A:

And this chili was so vibrant and fantastic.

Speaker A:

The seasoning was just so perfect and the texture was silky.

Speaker A:

And that's the thing I noticed most was how fresh everything was when it came to.

Speaker A:

When it came to noodles.

Speaker A:

That was one place that was awesome.

Speaker A:

We also went to a fresh steamed rice roll place called Fuyuan.

Speaker A:

And that was.

Speaker A:

There was a couple places like right down the street from one another that focused on fresh rice rolls.

Speaker A:

And when you walked up to the place, they were actually steaming the rice rolls to order for you.

Speaker A:

So they're pouring the liquid into the tray, they're steaming them in this little steam, this little steam box.

Speaker A:

And the texture was just so.

Speaker A:

It was this perfect bouncy and silky and just all awesome texture.

Speaker A:

Those ones had like soy sauce and like some tiny shrimp in them.

Speaker A:

Side note, I know everybody's pretty aware that I generally eat vegan.

Speaker A:

I really didn't try to do that here mostly because I wanted to have a unfiltered experience.

Speaker A:

You know, it's something I consider when I'm going to places I generally don't generally don't go into all the options but this I really wanted to kind of dive into everything.

Speaker A:

You know, right down the street from there was a little place and the name on Google Maps is Old Street Pan Fried Dumpling.

Speaker A:

And it was just like we got back from I'll talk about my Manhattan trip.

Speaker A:

d they were open at you know,:

Speaker A:

Walked over, got some amazing like pan fried dumplings and the kind of place you can just walk up at 10 o'clock and you're getting these really delicious, really delicious buns and other things.

Speaker A:

That was just fantastic.

Speaker A:

That was.

Speaker A:

The other thing was breakfast is this was some of my favorite breakfast experiences in a long time.

Speaker A:

One of them was a place called 8 Jane which was focused on the breakfast crepes with egg and crunch in the middle.

Speaker A:

I'm going to try to look up the pronunciation, pronunciation of these.

Speaker A:

I think John Bing if I remember correctly.

Speaker A:

Again, trying, trying my best on those.

Speaker A:

So you know, it had some egg, had this, you know, savory sauce, some spice, some chili, chili oil in there.

Speaker A:

And you also had these like laminated little dense buns with sesame seeds on the outside.

Speaker A:

And these aren't like delicate and airy inside.

Speaker A:

These are dense and rich.

Speaker A:

You know they weren't like they didn't have a ton of fat but they had this five spice in them and they would serve them these little like sausage slices.

Speaker A:

It was just with egg in there.

Speaker A:

You know, just a great simple breakfast done, well done to order.

Speaker A:

And the experience is just awesome.

Speaker A:

So like that was great.

Speaker A:

The experience of walking to all of these things is amazing.

Speaker A:

I love the walking.

Speaker A:

We also had a little shopping mall next to us called Tangram.

Speaker A:

So there were some really cool spots in there.

Speaker A:

They had one of the, I think it was a Japanese video arcades with all the claw machines that they make called Gotcha is a really interesting space.

Speaker A:

Tons of lights, lots of noises, little bit weird but not bad.

Speaker A:

They this soft swerve ice cream place in there in the mall that was great.

Speaker A:

I think one of the other places I wanted to mention was place called corner28 which was really focused on, you know, the, you know, the, the meat, the window of meat.

Speaker A:

Like you know, the roast ducks, the pork belly, you know, roast, you know, roast pork, red roast pork, all sorts of different things.

Speaker A:

So we got that one of those nights, you know, took it back to the room because not a lot of seats in almost any of the.

Speaker A:

These kind of places around, but brought it back to the room, you know, put a little bit of the scallion ginger oil on there.

Speaker A:

Just.

Speaker A:

Just awesome.

Speaker A:

And I think that's, that's the fun part is next time I go, I, I might revisit some of these places.

Speaker A:

I might go to all new places from the same spot and be equally as thrilled.

Speaker A:

That's a great thing in of itself.

Speaker A:

We also did one, one higher end experience there.

Speaker A:

I think it was Nancheng or Nan Xiang soup dumplings, which was their Michelin listed soup dumpling place right next door to basically in the same building as our hotel.

Speaker A:

So we walked over there and even that we had like three, four different versions, a couple appetizers.

Speaker A:

I think we paid like $70 with, with tea and with whatever else for like four different versions of soup dumplings.

Speaker A:

Two, three different appetizers.

Speaker A:

Just really enjoyable.

Speaker A:

Also quality was fantastic on those.

Speaker A:

They weren't my favorite soup dumplings I've ever had and I'm not sure we'd go back there, but would we go to another place that did that around there?

Speaker A:

Absolutely.

Speaker A:

Other thing is, you know, we did, we ended up taking the bus over to Utopia Bagels which is significantly northeast of there.

Speaker A:

So that's like north, you know, north northeast of Broadway, Flushing up there.

Speaker A:

And I thought it was good.

Speaker A:

It wasn't great.

Speaker A:

You know the, the.

Speaker A:

When you read about bagels in New York, I think there's, you know, I have a very specific type that I like.

Speaker A:

I like the modern bagels.

Speaker A:

I like more fermentation.

Speaker A:

I like that super crackly crust.

Speaker A:

I don't necessarily love the older school New York bagels quite as much.

Speaker A:

I still enjoy them.

Speaker A:

Like they had a really nice vegan breakfast sandwich that was a great thing to have on the day that we spent the time to take the bus all the way up there and walked around.

Speaker A:

So pretty enjoyable still.

Speaker A:

I would definitely recommend going.

Speaker A:

It's a high volume operation but quality of everything I thought was good.

Speaker A:

It wasn't excellent.

Speaker A:

But that's.

Speaker A:

You know what, that's okay.

Speaker A:

Sometimes it can't be the best.

Speaker A:

But I still enjoyed my experience there.

Speaker A:

I think that's a good selection of Flushing.

Speaker A:

Anyway.

Speaker A:

I know we visited a ton more places.

Speaker A:

We also got some high end tea at Fang Gourmet Tea.

Speaker A:

Really enjoyed that.

Speaker A:

I had a full tasting there which was great.

Speaker A:

But I also wanted to mention that I did get a chance to take the subway into into Manhattan to go to a few places that it really wanted to visit.

Speaker A:

One being B and H.

Speaker A:

Photo and video, which, you know, if you're a purchaser of electronics and you don't necessarily want to support one of the largest conglomerates on the globe, buying from B and H is a really nice option.

Speaker A:

It's in our state.

Speaker A:

Shipping's quick and cheap.

Speaker A:

The service is really good.

Speaker A:

Otherwise, if you're looking for audio, video stuff, you can also buy from Sweetwater in Indiana, which I also strongly recommend.

Speaker A:

Like, they actually call you when you order things to follow up and make sure you have what you need.

Speaker A:

So, you know, those things are important to me.

Speaker A:

Like, hey, I bought some, bought some tripods for the studio for the cameras that you're seeing me on right now, if you're watching the video feed.

Speaker A:

And this was, you know, I bought some and they didn't work out.

Speaker A:

And hell, even some stuff broke when I was installing them because they were hard to adjust.

Speaker A:

I sent them back.

Speaker A:

They're like, yeah, credit great, awesome.

Speaker A:

Get some new ones.

Speaker A:

They were super easy to work with.

Speaker A:

I absolutely love dealing with them.

Speaker A:

And the store is astonishing.

Speaker A:

It is one of the coolest places I've ever visited when it came to an electronic store.

Speaker A:

There's so much stuff, it's so big.

Speaker A:

There's so many people to ask questions to and the level of information expertise is tremendous.

Speaker A:

So could not recommend that enough.

Speaker A:

We did get to a few coffee places in town, which I'm very glad we did.

Speaker A:

I think the first one was a small location of Black Fox Coffee, which is right at Hudson Yards.

Speaker A:

They have a few locations around it.

Speaker A:

There's.

Speaker A:

From what they said, multi roaster.

Speaker A:

I thought they had really quality stuff and it was very nice to have that after not having had good coffee since I had been there.

Speaker A:

So that was really nice.

Speaker A:

We did a lot of walking, a lot of walking around.

Speaker A:

So we did get to another coffee place called Do Not Feed Alligators.

Speaker A:

I believe it was French in origin.

Speaker A:

And the coffee they had there was tremendous.

Speaker A:

We got to relax for a while, really enjoyed that, had a really good time.

Speaker A:

And we did go to one of the.

Speaker A:

One of the famous Italian places in New York.

Speaker A:

I'm trying to get to it right now.

Speaker A:

I think it was one of the Italian sandwich places.

Speaker A:

Just trying to get to the place while I'm looking.

Speaker A:

But that was kind of.

Speaker A:

That was kind of one of the places that was on the list for Carrie.

Speaker A:

She loves like old school Italian sandwiches.

Speaker A:

And that was a place we specifically were trying to get to.

Speaker A:

And I'm trying to find it and I'm, oh, Fico's or fychos.

Speaker A:

Italian specialties.

Speaker A:

Tremendous sandwich.

Speaker A:

I thought they did a really nice job.

Speaker A:

Bread was great.

Speaker A:

Meats were really good.

Speaker A:

Wasn't the best I've ever had, but I thought it was really good and worth going to for sure.

Speaker A:

We ended up bouncing around after we went to do not feed alligators to a bunch of different, you know, parks to hang out for a little bit.

Speaker A:

Because my goal for the day, other than going to B and H, was to go to Bar Contra.

Speaker A:

So we bounced around to a bunch of parks, hung around for a while, ended up at, I think from Lucy, which was a little cake shop, but had a tremendous chocolate chip cookie, you know, kind of just, you know, enjoying walking around and having a good time.

Speaker A:

And then we ended up at Bar Contra.

Speaker A:

So this place is.

Speaker A:

This was for me, not the reason I took the trip, but one of the main reasons I took the trip was to go here because this is a Dave Arnold run bar.

Speaker A:

So Dave Arnold, for those that don't know, wrote one of the most important books in cocktails, liquid intelligence, hosts the hosts a podcast called Cooking Issues.

Speaker A:

I've seen him in Rochester a few times at the Rochester Cocktail Revival, doing seminars.

Speaker A:

It is one of my favorite things.

Speaker A:

Anytime he's in town, I am a hard food nerd.

Speaker A:

Dave pioneered many of the techniques that food nerds revere.

Speaker A:

He's one of the most influential people in food.

Speaker A:

And the people that are around him on that show know so much.

Speaker A:

And every time I listen, I'm learning something.

Speaker A:

And it's something so comforting about that where they have just a crazy amount of knowledge and the depth of scientific knowledge and tested knowledge.

Speaker A:

You know, Dave taught at the French Culinary Institute on the technology side, but also just, hey, he's been.

Speaker A:

He was there at the ground floor.

Speaker A:

I mean, he, you know, they.

Speaker A:

They made this year's all.

Speaker A:

They invented a countertop centrifuge, the Spinzel.

Speaker A:

You know, bars in Rochester use that to clarify juices, clarify cocktails, do other things, you know, for carbonation.

Speaker A:

And it was such a treat to go to Bar Contra.

Speaker A:

We had actually been to Contra, I think the last time we were in New York when we went to.

Speaker A:

When we went to Una Pizza Napolitana, which was partially owned by that group at the time.

Speaker A:

But we went there and just had an amazing time.

Speaker A:

The gentleman who was behind the bar was part of the.

Speaker A:

Sounds like he was part of developing menus and things as well.

Speaker A:

What a great guy.

Speaker A:

Just a gentleman and so knowledgeable.

Speaker A:

Just had a great time talking to him.

Speaker A:

Carrie had Some really good food, had some, you know, scallops, had some other dishes that were just fantastic.

Speaker A:

And I had a lot of cocktails and samples and other things.

Speaker A:

And it's something that Carrie describes me as.

Speaker A:

Now is my favorite thing to do is go to a place and talk to a guy.

Speaker A:

And obviously it doesn't have to be a guy.

Speaker A:

It's any person, any gender, I don't care.

Speaker A:

But it's my favorite thing to go to do is go to a place and talk to a person.

Speaker A:

It is.

Speaker A:

It's the thing that makes me truly happy, is I get to really enjoy something truly, deeply enjoy a conversation, truly and deeply be in a place I want to be in.

Speaker A:

There's just something special about that.

Speaker A:

And Bar Contra delivered, delivered on the cocktails, delivered on the food, delivered on the experience.

Speaker A:

This is a place that if you're a cocktail person and you care about people who are doing the work of making great things, go there 100%.

Speaker A:

So from there we did bounce all the way back and spent the rest of time in Flushing.

Speaker A:

So part of what I want to say is if you have the means, I know not everybody does find a way to get away for a long weekend, do it on the cheap, go somewhere and really enjoy it.

Speaker A:

And there was something that really helped me during that time.

Speaker A:

It's been a been kind of a rough month and change for me.

Speaker A:

And even just thinking back on that trip, it was making me smile and making me remember how fun those kind of things are.

Speaker A:

So just, you know, I'm really looking forward to whatever our next small trip is so we get a chance to do some more relaxing and enjoying.

Speaker A:

So that was Flushing and I just wanted to pivot over and talk about a couple of the recent episodes.

Speaker A:

Really enjoyed my conversation with Reconnect Rochester that was technically posted on the Just can't not feed.

Speaker A:

So if you are, it also came out on the Food About Town feed.

Speaker A:

So if you saw it there and you're like, oh, that's a little bit different.

Speaker A:

I am kind of expanding and trying different things.

Speaker A:

Both myself, my co founder Matt Austin will be posting on Just can't not more in the future.

Speaker A:

Right now it's probably going to be sporadic and more cross posted.

Speaker A:

But really enjoyed my conversation with Boy, I am forgetting everything.

Speaker A:

It's been a very long day.

Speaker A:

But Cody from Reconnect Rochester appreciated his time.

Speaker A:

Really got to talk about infrastructure in Rochester.

Speaker A:

When it came to biking, when it came to safe streets, when it came to safety for pedestrians, that infrastructure and all these Things are critical for equity and everything else.

Speaker A:

It was a very good conversation and one I'm hoping that Empire Boulevard gets safer.

Speaker A:

I live on the edge of it.

Speaker A:

I'm really hoping I can bike to work occasionally if, you know, if it becomes a safer street to bike on.

Speaker A:

So I think I shouldn't have to think about that quite as much, but I do right now, so definitely go listen to that.

Speaker A:

Really enjoyed that conversation.

Speaker A:

Also want to bring up just go into my recent episodes on Food About Town while we're talking.

Speaker A:

You know that that was, that was an important one.

Speaker A:

We've also got.

Speaker A:

I've got a couple other interviews in the works, but what I did want to mention is the first audiobook for in this Moment is out.

Speaker A:

So that was from volume one with Herb Smith.

Speaker A:

Hope you check that out on the in this Moment podcast feed on the Lunchadore Podcast Network.

Speaker A:

We'll also have two more coming out the week of sometime around February 20th.

Speaker A:

Two of the more recent two of the more recent chat books from Joe Beard and Almida Whiteis.

Speaker A:

Really just loved recording those.

Speaker A:

Those are so much fun.

Speaker A:

So those are going to be coming out then and probably a little more regularly after that.

Speaker A:

And actually you're seeing me on the new video setup in the studio so continuing to get that running.

Speaker A:

Really enjoying the process and also super frustrated with the process sometimes which I mentioned last time out, but have the new audio board in and everything's actually working really well.

Speaker A:

So thanks to everybody who helped with that.

Speaker A:

Helped me test and get me where I needed to go.

Speaker A:

Yeah, I think the only other only other one would be episode should be out should be out soon with Open Face.

Speaker A:

So I had a discussion with a gentleman that runs the Open Face restaurant inside of the George Eastman Museum.

Speaker A:

Really enjoyed that conversation place.

Speaker A:

As soon as we started talking I remembered so much about it from the South Wedge when I was just learning about food in a detailed way and he mentioned some details.

Speaker A:

I'm like oh wow, what a.

Speaker A:

What an amazing sense memory.

Speaker A:

So that will also be coming out coming out very soon, probably next week actually.

Speaker A:

So stay tuned for that.

Speaker A:

Otherwise I think I'm going to close out this episode of the Food About Town podcast.

Speaker A:

Recommend you go to lunchdoor.org to check out all of the shows on the network.
