Andrew Rosenberg

PHD/Cook

Andrew Rosenberg is a professor of computer science at Queens College. Andrew is an average cook, has a drab personality and is barely attractive…from his best angles. His sense of humor is poor. Frankly, it is surprising that you have heard of him at all.

Andrew has been an integral part of a razor, a shiny knife since January 2009, when he was instrumental in accomplishing our Thomas Keller and Grant Achatz recreation dinners. His talent is casually more refined and distinguished than he allows most to be aware of and is responsible for some of the most creative thinking around.

This could possibly be one of the cutest pictures ever taken and it makes me happy every time I look at it. [img src=http://www.arazorashinyknife.com/wp-content/gallery/andrew/thumbs/thumbs_2009-10-11-kitchen-27.jpg]On the line

That we should always hire a dishwasher as no matter how well we keep up with our own dishes once service starts there is no way you can cook and clean at the same time and hope to have the food warm. [img src=http://www.arazorashinyknife.com/wp-content/gallery/andrew/thumbs/thumbs_2009-01-san-francisco-203.jpg]Celebratory fast food
After our San Francisco dinner we took a short trip up to Napa to say hello to some people at the French Laundry, get lunch at an amazing restaurant on the side of a hill and then take a nap in the sun. On the way back we stopped for In and Out burger.[img src=http://www.arazorashinyknife.com/wp-content/gallery/andrew/thumbs/thumbs_2009-12-italian-christmas-055.jpg]A brined goose
Andrew insisted on giving our Christmas geese a good brine and I insisted he handled the butchery and what have you so I could focus all my attention on the tomato sauce. Seems as if we are good at insistion!. [img src=http://www.arazorashinyknife.com/wp-content/gallery/andrew/thumbs/thumbs_2009-12-italian-christmas-077.jpg]Pasta making
Andrew is quietly the best pasta maker you have ever met. He doesn't create too much mess either which always makes me suspect but is easy on the clean up. [img src=http://www.arazorashinyknife.com/wp-content/gallery/andrew/thumbs/thumbs_2009-12-italian-christmas-093.jpg]Look at the proud daddy
Andrew beaming with pride at one of his delicious and dark geese [img src=http://www.arazorashinyknife.com/wp-content/gallery/andrew/thumbs/thumbs_2009-12-italian-christmas-095.jpg]A goose
Breathtakingly cooked to perfection. Carved with similar careless abandon. [img src=http://www.arazorashinyknife.com/wp-content/gallery/andrew/thumbs/thumbs_2009-12-italian-christmas-110.jpg]Sliced Zampone
Andrew and Mike Lee of Studiofeast, showing of the carved zampone we served at our Italian Christmas Dinner. Zampone is a pig's leg stuffed like forced meat and then boiled until gelatinous and tender. [img src=http://www.arazorashinyknife.com/wp-content/gallery/andrew/thumbs/thumbs_2009-12-italian-christmas-138.jpg]Incredulous
He was right, I shouldn't have been taking pictures I should have been running around like everyone else cleaning up. Sorry. [img src=http://www.arazorashinyknife.com/wp-content/gallery/andrew/thumbs/thumbs_p1000399.jpg]Wife Beater
Measuring out the deets before our Cauliflower feast. Careful the British are close by. [img src=http://www.arazorashinyknife.com/wp-content/gallery/andrew/thumbs/thumbs_279.jpg]Foie Gras
Tough decision, and without dental floss with struggle for minutes trying to figure out how to cute the foie gras financier into enough servings for that nights guests. [img src=http://www.arazorashinyknife.com/wp-content/gallery/andrew/thumbs/thumbs_280.jpg]Financier
Turns out if you use math it gets really easy. [img src=http://www.arazorashinyknife.com/wp-content/gallery/andrew/thumbs/thumbs_396.jpg]Constructing bowls
quiet and delicate the wax bowls were poured for every meal and then the fine pins were pushed through them allowing for a sphere of hot potato to be suspended over an ice cold soup.[img src=http://www.arazorashinyknife.com/wp-content/gallery/andrew/thumbs/thumbs_416.jpg]Plating wars
Rushing to get together a dish whose fragile temperatures needed to be as dichotomous as possible.[img src=http://www.arazorashinyknife.com/wp-content/gallery/andrew/thumbs/thumbs_img_0818.jpg]Battle Continues
Bringing the rested beef from the butcher block on to the plates.
