  CARMELLIZEDThe Last Short Ribs of 2012
The best way to ensure good fortune in the coming year is to eat oxtail consommé with foie gras and braised

It’s 2013. Things are going to be different this year. You’re going to... start drinking right away.
You’re going to indulge, guilt-free, in endless prosecco on the LES and a menu of... well, TBD—but
you’ve had their meatballs. That “feel no guilt” resolution is looking pretty genius right now.
