We have some plump and tasty Canadian oysters on the half shell with a Chinese black vinegar mignonette (which actually means that white pepper is a key ingredient in this sauce - love the French for defining food preparations and of course couture - haute) Also crispy potato pancakes done with a twist - topped with sake cured salmon, scallion creme fraiche and salmon caviar - YUM ! The Wok is tossing up Spicy Korean Noodles ( linguini like FYI) with lemon grass beef, scallions and cucumber, hot, spicy and tasty.

I Gotta A Feeling!

2010-02-25T23:50:00.004-05:00

Wow! This is an awesome winter - growing up here - I missed the snowy winters for awhile - it's great to enjoy it and inspires me in so many ways.

Got to see Black Eyes Peas on wednesday night - great fun show - wanted more of the new music tho' - and what's up with everyone with their constant cell phone pic taking instead of actually watching the show? Seriously? Just watch it on line then instead of live is all I'm saying. Being in the moment is true. Cooking wise I've got a Thai Chicken soup with pineapple coconut milk, lime, mushrooms, basil and a chile lime kick - that'll ward off any cold inducing attacks! We're also grilling up grass fed ribeye steak teriyaki with stir fried vegetables and tempura onion rings to put if over the top. A true winter feast. I know Calamity Chang has another hot show on sunday night Dim Sum Burlesque to put a feather on the end of our weekend cap! See you at Chow!

Last show of 2009! December 27, 2009 Line Up

2009-12-22T19:23:00.018-05:00

What an amazing two months I've had producing, hosting, and performing with all the talented performers at this show! Sundays have become the only day I look forward to all week. Let's face it, do I really look forward to sitting in front of a computer designing banner ads for 8 hours a day in midtown? I'd rather take my clothes off on stage! I must be the luckiest girl to have such great friends who are also amazingly talented performers, singers, and musicians. It's pure magic when all those elements collide. To top off the year, I am hosting a New Year's Eve Soiree "Decaden t Decade" at Chow Bar for those of you seeking a more upscale, elegant and bewitching way to ring in the new year. In addition to the fabulous fabulous soiree, this Sunday's show is going to be a total knock out!

First up is Darlinda Just Darlinda! One of NY burlesque scene's veteran performers, DJD has been featured in Time Out, Italian Marie Claire, and the Village Voice calls her, "a Mastermind of Bizarre Extravaganza”!

The Maine Attraction has worked for and along side such artists as Pharell Williams, Jessica Simpson, James Brown, DJ Tiesto, DJ Carl Cox, DJ Johnathan Peters, Lebanese Pop Stars Haifa and Cherine and fashion designers Patricia Field and Marc Jacobs. And yes, she's here this Sunday!

Weirdee Girl, performer and producer of the burlesque show Gotham Underground in Brooklyn, this fiery flame-haired maitresse is part retro Hollywood glamor and part geekery!

Look, it's a boy in the midst of boobs and glitter! Benjamin Ickies will demonstrate serious accordion skills with some classic cabaret tunes.

Look, it's another boy! Hailing all the way from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Jon Bryant will make you swoon not because of that rugged, "I'm a salt of the earth fisherman" handsome looks but because his single "Deaf" is currently the iTunes Free Single of the Week which he will perform at Dim Sum Burlesque!

Now back to the ladies, the only Russian Princess openly "in hiding" in NYC, is back this weekend to unveil her real secret identity! If not that, she'll unveil something else equally secretive. (wink wink)

Guest Star Broadway Brassy will stun you with that set of powerful, mighty, and absolutely GORGEOUS - lungs! What did you think I was going to say, you deviant.

And myself, Calamity Chang, will be there to make sure you are touching yourself or the person next to you inappropriately. See you Sunday!!

We are skipping a show on Sunday, January 3, 2010 to re-attach fallen rhinestones and jewels from our thongs and pasties. But we will be back fiercer and larger than every on Sunday, January 10, 2010!

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!

2009-12-21T16:34:00.003-05:00

Christmas is upon us, with a nice dusting of snow to add to the festivities. We will close Chow Bar on Christmas Eve to give all of our staff a little breather and have a chance to feel the spirit of the year (with some spirits too, hopefully!) We will be open on Christmas day and will be doing some delicious specials - Tasty Blue Point Oysters in Chinese Black Vinegar Mignonnette, Grass Fed Rib Eye Steak Teriyaki, Whole Roasted Spice Rubbed Chicken with wasabi smash and stir fry brussel sprouts, A Warm Walnut Fig Cake with Toffee Sauce and Christians Warm Brandied Wine Cocktail. Come in from the cold and celebrate with us! We wish all a very Merry Christmas and Holiday filled with cheer and laughter.!

This one's for Nicole

2009-12-14T22:10:00.006-05:00

Our amazing server Nicole said to me one day that she would love to know how to cook really well, a small variety of good, basic dishes. That got me thinking - I can easily show her how to do some sauces and cooking preparations that she would enjoy preparing for herself and also look like a cooking rockstar to her guests. Here's a basic marinara sauce I like and you can add some olives, capers, anchovies or whatever else you think would go well with this sauce - Stay tuned for new recipe slide shows - Enjoy! - Peter

Have you ever seen a turnip that big?? That's what she said! (see previous post) All joking aside, we have a really stellar line-up of performers this weekend. One who is a world-traveler and I have seen her so many times and every time, she blows me away.

Our favorite accordionist Benjamin Ickies is back this weekend and believe you us, we're making him WORK! He will be doing a solo number plus a couple of accompaniments to the girls' acts. That man knows how to SQUEEZE.

Pandora is back with a new act never before seen. We know what it is, but you'll have to come and find out.

Our special Guest Star Broadway Brassy will sing a few new tunes for you.

Lo and behold, it's The Maine Attraction. She will definitely set a fire to your Sunday night. Hint. Hint.

Don't wink or you'll miss what magician Jeff Grow is going to be doing at Dim Sum Burlesque.

As usual, I will be there to say ni hao, hola, and hellooo! (Yes, I'm tri-lingual)
Hope to see you Sunday!

Attention Size Queens!

2009-12-11T00:49:00.005-05:00

December is roaring in with some cold weather, making us seek out warmth wherever we can! Our favorite farmer Morse from Windfall Farms has a bumper crop of Golden Turnips, so he reached out to a bunch of us to take them off his hands, each turnip was anywhere from 2 - 7 lbs- Woah! Big and flavor that needed some taming!
I came up with a Golden Turnip Soup with tumeric and melted sweet onions, finished with cream and then pureed. It's served with a dash of Japanese pepper spice, chopped cilantro, toasted sesame and some crispy crab and shrimp won tons. If this dish doesn't warm you up - then have another cocktail!
We are also featuring this weekend a Grilled Ribeye Steak Teriyaki, from grass fed Colorado beef, served with stir fry Chinese vegetables and Tempura Onion Rings.
This weekends Bread and Cheese has a French Triple Creme Savarin, very buttery with Walnut Fig Bread and that delicious Hudson Valley Duck Prosciutto Style - Yum!
For the sweet tooth we have a Black and BlueBerry Brulee with passion fruit curd and chocolate shortbreads. I think Calamity Chang will have some fun with this dish!
Have a great weekend and we hope to see you at Chow Bar!

Cold sobriety is the kind of thing you have to ease into though — as hostess-with-the-mostest Calamity Chang knows very well. Tasty eats and visual treats are necessary on Sunday eve to ease a soul back into the work-a-day Purgatory awaiting on Monday. That is why she put together Dim Sum Burlesque at Chow Bar, which will run every Sunday for the rest of the month, and possibly the rest of the year. Calamity Chang told me they are booked for the rest of November, but you might be able to score a table if you walk in. No-shows are held until 9:00. I for one would love to have dim sum burlesque at Chow Bar on Sunday January 3rd 2010. Read the rest here >
