Maple Bacon Sticky Buns: Print Restaurant at the New Amsterdam Market

3 Oct

A Sunday morning treat. Sticky buns, but not your average Joe bun. These buns are topped with chopped bacon (from Mountain View Farm in NY) and a maple butter glaze.

They’re so bad they’re so good. I can’t…I won’t…I musn’t…ok just a bite…alright fine another bite…I MUST. You simply cannot say no.

Last weekend the pastry crew from Print Restaurant set up shop to sell Pastry Chef Heather Carlucci-Rodriguez‘s famous Maple Bacon Sticky Buns. We were at the New Amsterdam Market in South Street Seaport, just below the Brooklyn Bridge.

The theme of the week was “Taste of Marcellus:” Sample the foods and flavors produced in the Marcellus Shale region and learn how we can protect this fragile environment from concerned advocates including the Baum Forum, Food & Water Watch, and others.

The New Amsterdam market houses vendors/purveyors selling olive oils, bakery bread, pie, grilled cheese, produce, ravioli, soda, popsicles, ice cream, coffee, meats, cheese, honey, pickles, candies, tempeh, lobster sandwiches, pork tacos, and more.

I can’t wait for Sunday October 16, the Hard Cider Revival.

But back to the buns…come n’ get ’em at Print Restaurant every weekend for Brunch.
