Prune, NYC, Most Delicious Simple Meal I've Ever Loved

 Deviled eggs and braised dandelion greens!  Most delicious simple meal I've ever loved in NYC.

 I had seen a "The Best Thing I Ever Ate" show on the Food Network about a year ago featuring Prune.  The thing to order was a bacon sandwich.  I remember it having orange marmalade on it.  I do not remember the star chef who recommended it, but I committed the name of the place to memory and put it on my list of restaurants for my next visit to the city.  A friend, who knew I was going to be there for a month, suggested I read "Blood, Bones and Butter" as a fun way to prepare for the trip. I was delighted to learn it was written by Gabrielle Hamilton, the chef/owner of Prune.  It is not a book of recipes, it is her memoir and it is fantastic!
