PB & J at Elaine’s

Not all PB & Js are created equal. In fact, sometimes, that “PB” doesn’t even mean peanut butter. In the case of this week’s SYSE, the folks at Elaine’s Coffee Call – the tiny cafe inside the Hotel Lincoln – have substituted pecan butter, and are combining it with seasonal preserves, then pressing it in a panini press, to give the outer edge of the La Fournette bread a bit of crunch. It’s devastatingly simple, and yet, somehow taps into everyone’s inner kid. (As always, thanks to Todd Rosenberg Photography – @toddrphoto – for the fine videography).
