Gray’s Papaya Midtown Opens This Week — And More Intel Plus, two more restaurants open in Midtown

A new Midtown location of the classic New York hot dog stand Gray’s Papaya is close to opening. Bedford and Bowery notes that the outpost at 612 Eighth Ave., near 40th St., may open as early as Thursday, serving its signature “Recession Specials” of two dogs and a drink. It’s a slow comeback for the Nicholas and Rachael Gray’s legendary restaurant chain, which has been in retraction mode, having closed many locations. For the last few years, the only outpost in the city was a flagship restaurant on the Upper West Side. Still, Rachael tells Bedford and Bowery that the company is doing well, and although they won’t be reopening further downtown anytime soon, it’s not out of the question.

Yellow Rice with Corn and Ham!

Sofrito Lovers,

What was for Sunday night dinner?  Over at my crib, I made a delicious pot of yellow rice with ham and corn with stewed beans and grilled pork chops.  It was pretty goddamn delicious if do say so for myself! I found my incredible yellow rice recipe on one of my favorite YouTube cooking channels, Sweets and Beyond!

Hosted by Ida, Sweets and Beyond is a wonderful online resource for Puerto Rican home cooking.  As you know, I've featured her videos before and deeply appreciate her efforts to educate us all.  I consider her one of my YouTube cooking school professors! I think she would give me an "A" for last night's dinner assignment.  David loved the rice; he loved the combination of corn and ham!

Check out her amazing video below!  Watch, then get cooking! Go taste for yourself! ¡Buen Provecho!
