Was at Grand Central Market yesterday to pick up a few burger accoutrements (namely blue cheese, which I was craving on my burger for some reason), and took the opportunity to swing by the recently opened Murray's Real Salami. I stood gawking longingly at the cured meats and pates galore, but really had no intention of buying anything, as I thought a burger would be plenty of meat for one night. Inside my head, however, I was figuring out my dinner and lunch plans for the week, strategizing – would I haveroom for some pancetta in a pasta dish one night, or some salami in a sandwich later in the week? The gentleman behind the counter must have seen the glow in my eye (or maybe I was drooling?), so he offered me a taste of the La Quercia proscuitto, which was salty, tender, and sliced so thinly you could see through it. Perhaps based on my reaction, he then made me taste the lardo, a rosemary-infused bit of pork-fat goodness. Somehow, I left without buying either, and headed home for one of the best (and messiest) burgers I've had in ages. But I'll be back.
Am I That Transparent?

I can’t walk through GCT’s Market. I get too hungry and then buy food and have to carry home all that food on the Metro North. Better to make a b-line to Cippirani’s and have a martini.
