Here is a revie...Now let me try that again, Lisa... Here is a review from NYPress:<br /><br />Moo Goo Gai Pan is a basic Cantonese stir-fry consisting primarily of button mushrooms (moo goo) and sliced chicken (gai pan) in a white sauce. For the panini, Magaddino and Jiang opted for shitakes over buttons, which they layer with grilled white meat chicken,Vidalia onions and fontina cheese. An ensemble cast of ingredients makes for an overall well-balanced arrangement—no culture wars here.<br /><br />The tender marinated chicken conveys hints of ginger and teriyaki without overpowering the unseasoned bites of simply grilled mushrooms. For their part, the meaty shitakes add texture to the mix, while letting the main protein take center stage. Healthy helpings of Vidalias, softened to just this side of caramelized, provide an important burst of acidity while punching up the sandwich with their natural sweetness.The slight tang of melted fontina cuts through the onions and keeps their sugariness in check. At the same time, the cheese’s nuttiness brings out the same in the mushrooms, rounding out the combination.<br /><br />And of course, like any panini worth its salt, the bread holds this one together literally and figuratively. Sourced from Brooklyn purveyor Aladdin Bakers, the flat bread is toasted to the edge of crispiness on the outside, while the soft white inside absorbs the flavors of the onions and cheese.Ev Grievehttp://evgrieve.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-90359016074922485242010-10-13T13:01:06.634-04:002010-10-13T13:01:06.634-04:00Totally ok with me, the bison slider there is the ...Totally ok with me, the bison slider there is the bees knees!East Village Eatshttp://www.eveats.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-70237921130247383162010-10-13T12:52:07.677-04:002010-10-13T12:52:07.677-04:00@EVGrieve
