It’s April Cools! It’s like April Fools, except instead of cringe comedy you make genuine content that’s different from what you usually do. For example, last year I talked about The best introductory video games for non-gamers. This year I’m picking a fight. This is “New York” Pizza (NYP): (source) Flat pizza, soft bottom, hard crust, foldable wedges. It’s the archetypical American pizza style and probably your pizza emoji. This is “Chicago” pizza: ...

Mariscos? Seafood! I’ve wanted to visit the Mexican coast and try all the seafood – I bet it’s really great. I’ve had a lot of [...] The post #5500: Cielo Ramen Mariscos Instant Ramen Noodle Soup – United States appeared first on THE RAMEN RATER.

In April, the Tribunal will be trying crab cake sandwiches, the dirty water hot dog, the Dodger dog, and zero practical jokes. The post April List Sandwiches and March Wrapup first appeared on Sandwich Tribunal.

I'm flipping the trope on its head. And I'm dead serious.

This cashew chicken and asparagus stir-fry delivers crisp vegetables, perfectly seared chicken, and a balanced sauce with rice vinegar and just enough sweetness. The key is cooking each component separately for maximum texture.

I love a street cart kabab. The stick makes it seem portable, and I always end up covered in shit. I will eat them forever.

An old-fashioned baked bean recipe made with dried beans, molasses, brown sugar, and patience. Cooked low and slow in a bean pot, just like grandma-or Caroline Ingalls-used to make. Sneaking baked beans onto the menu for Easter makes perfect sense. When paired with ham they create a bundle of sweet, savoury, smoky goodness in your...Read More

Top Chef Carolinas episode 4 gave the chefs a better elimination challenge than last week, though the critieria was a bit too abstract for my taste.

This was my first attempt at making mushroom soup from scratch - well, with vegetable broth. All from vegetables I got from the farmer’s market (I usually go on weekends). Up until now, I only made Butternut squash soup, and these are pretty good, so I decided to expand a bit. To make it, I used: 5 King Oyster Mushrooms 1 small yellow onion 4 regular Yukon potatoes (1 large, 3 small ones) 4 garlic cloves Fresh Parsley (a few leaves, about a spoonful) Olive oil (about 1/3 of a cup) Water + ve...

I’d like to be that person who wakes up at 5:30 on a Sunday morning to bake off Brioche Sticky Buns before the sun comes up, but, even when I worked in bakeries, I am absolutely not that person. In my house, morning pastries are eaten for dessert, unless there are leftovers. I recommend planning […]

The clams themselves were terrific, crisp and hot, the breading well-seasoned but the flavor of the bellies dominating, briny and sweet with a bit of a metallic liver-y flavor. I liked them best with a simple squeeze of lemon. The post Clam Like A Bomb first appeared on Sandwich Tribunal.

Yes. But not as much as people often assume. In the United States, “Estate Bottled” is a legal term. It means the winery grew allContinue reading

After Splatoon shopping at the Nintendo store, we walked over to Panda Express in the rain. And Nikki, overwhelmed with the amount of food in her box, held it up to her head to demonstrate how large it is. Looks normal to me! And then it occurred to me: this may be the only place I’ve seen have American Chinese take-out containers in Japan.

On the edge of Yokohama's Chinatown is Tsukikoya Coffee Roaster. They have a wide variety of beans available to buy, plus you can buy a cup of any of them too. As we spent a while sniffing the beans and considering our options, the owner popped his head out and gave us little paper cups.

I send you out for exciting new designer drugs, and you come back with… tomato sauce.

I adore quiche, especially the version known as Quiche Lorraine with bacon and cheese, the one that Julia Child trilled about on her cooking show, "The French Chef." I watched it in reruns on our first color TV in the 1960s, along with "The Galloping Gourmet"—aka Graham Kerr—as he swozzled his way through recipes swirling bottomless glasses of red wine. The rage for French cuisine that Ms. Child ushered in caused quiche to become ubiquitous on brunch and "luncheon" menus in the 70s, though m...
