Ted Allen, the host of Food Network’s “Chopped,” was the culinary expert on Bravo’s original “Queer Eye” series, now revived on Netflix. But that’s not Allen’s only tie to the current show — he and his husband Barry Rice often spend their weekends dining with the show’s current culinary hunk, Antoni Porowski, a neighbor and friend. On Oct. 13, Allen will have a rare night outside his Clinton Hill neighborhood for the New York City Wine and Food Festival, where he’ll host a cocktail party at Industria in the West Village (tickets at nycwff.org). Here, he tells Lauren Steussy about his typical weekend.

On Saturdays, I’m definitely going to sleep till 9 at least. I would probably have coffee. Actually I would definitely have coffee. And after a couple cups of that, I like to go for a walk in Fort Greene Park. That’s a good start for the day.

I might also swing by Greenlight Bookstore, this lovely independent bookstore in the neighborhood. I made the mistake recently of buying Ron Chernow’s biography of Alexander Hamilton, which is 818 pages long. It’s going great so far, I’m on about page 23!

If I was going to do Saturday night out, I’d go to Walter’s [on Dekalb Avenue] for drinks. And if I wanted to go somewhere new, I’d go to Evelina. It’s a new spot on Dekalb — great food, stunningly attractive staff. I don’t hate it. Call me shallow.

We have a lot of friends we like to go out with in the neighborhood, like my good buddy Antoni, who lives right across the street. He’s a friend, but he was also an employee of ours for about three years. When he worked for us, he had about 3,000 followers on Instagram. Today he has 2.4 million. He’s a sweetie.

The weekends are more home-focused because we don’t have to go into the city. But if we did go to [Manhattan], I might go to Marc Murphy’s place, Landmarc, in the Time Warner Center. And when I have, say, a Sunday in the city, I really love to shop on Bleecker Street. I’ve made it a point to do all my Christmas shopping in person and in the Village, because it’s my favorite neighborhood — other than the one I live in.

Sunday night is almost always a movie in our living room. A place we like to order from is Bar Bolinas in Clinton Hill. They have a really deadly fried chicken sandwich with house-made pickles and skin-on fries. They’re so close to our house that we can order in and the fries taste like they came straight from the kitchen.

It’s a pretty chill situation, but that’s what this neighborhood is all about. I’ve been here 10 years, and I still think it’s the greatest neighborhood in the city.
