This morning Green in BKLYN had its first mention in the New York Times in the Home Section’s “Shopping With: Ted Allen.”

As a food & wine expert (host of “Chopped” & formerly on “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy”), Ted knows a thing or two about cooking & entertaining…  And cleaning up after all that.  And so, appropriately, the focus of his shopping trip was cleaning up after the holidays – a noble & necessary endeavor.

In the article, Ted makes special mention of Green in BKLYN’s awesome pot scraper:

For those times when food is really burned onto the bottom of a pot, Mr. Allen picked out the Bambu pot scrapers at Green in BKLYN, a shop in Clinton Hill.  He said he occasionally uses wooden spoons for the job, but noted that this rectangle of bamboo, which has sharpened edges and a shape designed to get into corners, would be much more efficient.

Here’s to the venerable bamboo pot scraper, clean kitchens, making the mess in the first place (i.e., entertaining & eating) as well as Ted Allen & the NY Times for supporting & encouraging the aforementioned.  Happy, clean holidays to all!
