What to Eat On Martha's Vineyard
With approximately 40 farms, 125 miles of coastline, and a community whose interest in and support for eating good food is constantly growing, Martha's Vineyard has never been a better place to take in a meal. Here, we give you our regular haunts for diner breakfasts, picnic lunches, ice cream breaks, fine-dining dinners—and everything in between.Ed Levine's Caloric Journey, Week 178: A Week at the Vineyard
We've been up on Martha's Vineyard for eight days now, and I thought I would give you a caloric journey progress report. On the Fourth, our friends the Grands invited us over for raw clams and oysters, homemade gravlax, and Ann Grand's justifiably famous pulled pork. Ann's pork is amazing, but I managed to avoid both heaping seconds on my plate and piling the pork on the soft hamburger buns she provided. Again, though I could have done better, I also could have done a lot worse. As for the rest of the week...Chilmark, MA: Clam Shack Favorites at The Bite
Bite clams come crammed in one of those classic cardboard boxes that all New England seafood shacks seem to have, fresh out of the hot oil so that the bottom of the container develops oil spots. The batter is substantial and craggy—perfect for swiping up the pickle-y tartar sauce without falling apart—but light enough that the rich, creamy, mineral-y clam belly flavor comes through bright and clear.A Sandwich a Day: Fried Green Tomato BLT at Slice of Life Café in Oak Bluffs, MA
The concept of a BLT is dead simple, perfect, and shouldn't be riffed upon, gussied up, or messed with in any way. And yet, I totally dig the Fried Green Tomato BLT at Slice of Life Cafe on Martha's Vineyard.West Tisbury, MA: Farm Fare at State Road on Martha's Vineyard
State Road, West Tisbury's only fine-dining establishment, is also the best on Martha's Vineyard. Chef Austin Racine turns out some truly spectacular dishes from whatever's freshest that day. If you want one splurge meal on the Vineyard, this is the place to go.Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 127: My Vacation Food Fantasies, And What I Actually Ate
So I've been gone a week, and somehow, some way I've managed to avoid many of my serious diet vacation pitfalls. I say that knowing that I certainly had grand plans for this past week. This is what I fantasized about eating this vacation.Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 84: Do You Ever Scare Yourself Into Eating Less?
"Many thanks, serious eaters, for all the shout-outs of support and encouragement." I scared myself into not eating last week, and not just because of what I ate on the road in Chicago. Erin pointed out that my real downfall was the double meal I ate last Tuesday night. It started with oxtail, shepherd's pie, jerk chicken, leg of lamb, and goat at The Islands with Erin and Carey. Then it was (and this was the killer) two pork roasts and two fried chicken recipes from Donald Link's and David Chang's books that Cook the Book's Caroline Russock made at her house for a cookbook competition we are participating in. So when you think about it, my two-pound weight gain...Dinghy Dogs: A Hot Dog Worth Having on Martha's Vineyard
Martha's Vineyard is an island full of mediocre hot dogs. You can get a hot dog just about anywhere you turn either on the island, or on your way there; in the ferry terminal in Wood's Hole, on the ferry itself, in convenience stores, even in clam shacks. But until Dinghy Dogs opened in Oak Bluffs Harbor there was not a hot dog worth the calories and salt. It's a tiny place—just a stand, actually—but they do hot dogs right. They start with a a grilled all-beef kosher style hot dog made by Pearl Meat Packing Company in Boston. Ask for your Martin's Potato Hot Dog Roll toasted, some good deli mustard, some chopped onions, and sauerkraut if it...Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 19: Pies Are My Weakness
I forgot my scale (I was going to throw it into my duffel bag when we left the house on Wednesday), so I'm afraid there will be no moment of reckoning, no not-so-high drama, in my diet post this week. We have been up on Martha's Vineyard for two days now, and I must say my diet challenges up here are great, so there's plenty to write about and report on. I have been coming to the Vineyard for more than thirty years now, and I have battled my addiction to pie for at least that long. Check that. I think my mother must have been addicted to pie, so she gave birth to a pie-addicted son more than fifty...Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab

But chocolate gift-giving needn't be a cliché. This year, let's bake our sweethearts chocolate cakes and pies instead! Here are 8 delicious recipes perfect for celebrating your love (of chocolate.)
