Cambridge, MA: Oleana's Incredible Baked Alaska
I really don't like conventional Baked Alaska. Meringue is far too sweet and too lean for me, and I've never been a huge fan of cake—especially sponge cake. But if there's one thing to know about Oleana, it's that nothing is conventional, particularly not the dessert menu. Pastry chef Maura Kilpatrick's reputation for dreaming up some of the most inventive sweets in town starts here.Video: Grits With Pork Belly At Bondir
We're big fans of Bondir, Jason Bond's intimate restaurant in Cambridge, Massachusetts. This video showcases Bondir's Heirloom Keener Grits with Roasted Pork Belly & Broccoli, Shaved Dahlia Bulb & Black Truffle Chili Vinaigrette, a dish resplendent with Jason's support for sustaining local communities—and with his love for grits.Brighton, MA: Ringing in Chinese New Year at Joyful Garden
It all started when my friend (and occasional Serious Eats collaborator) Kate Shannon asked her culinary school instructor and famed cookbook author Helen Chen where she likes to eat Chinese food in Boston. Chen's reply: Joyful Garden in the Day's Hotel in Brighton. The Days Hotel?Waltham, MA: Tacos Especiales at Taqueria El Amigo
There are certain neighborhoods in Boston that are known for great Mexican food, but Waltham isn't one of them. When I think of Waltham, I think of Brandeis, Gordon's Liquors, watches, and some good Indian grocers on Moody Street. I'd never thought of it as a taco destination, until recently.A Sandwich a Day: Grilled Flank Steak from Dave's Fresh Pasta in Somerville, MA
In my mind, the best part about having steak for dinner is the leftover steak sandwich for lunch the next day. Squishy white bread, mayo, and steak with good tomatoes (when available) is pretty unbeatable. But it took the sandwich geniuses at Dave's Fresh Pasta to revolutionize my steak sandwich toppings.Cambridge, MA: Hell Night at East Coast Grill, a Dinner of Chile-induced Pain
One of the biggest Hell Night traditions at East Coast Grill: Russian Roulette Pork Meatballs. The deal is that each person at the table must order one meatball, and one of the meatballs is a fireball. You can see where it goes from here: Everyone takes a bite, then looks around to see who got hit.First Look: Tiffani Faison's Sweet Cheeks BBQ
Anyone familiar with Tiffani Faison's resume (Top Chef, fancy hotel dining rooms, Nantucket) probably wouldn't have predicted that her latest move would be a barbecue joint. But when Rocca shuttered suddenly last year and Faison (at the time, the upmarket Italian resto's executive chef) found herself ready for a new gig, the 34-year-old tapped into her Southern roots, studied up on Texas barbecue, purchased a 4,700-pound smoker, and, just last month, opened her first solo venture called Sweet Cheeks.Behind the Scenes: Island Creek Oyster Farm in Massachusetts
These photos should give you a sense of what life is like for the typical oyster grown at Island Creek Oyster Farm on Massachusetts' south shore, just north of Cape Cod. It's an ideal habitat for oyster farming because it's protected on three sides by land and open to Cape Cod bay. At any one time, there are between 15 and 20 million oysters growing here. They start their lives about the size of a pepper flake.Cutty's Week, Day 5: The Saturday Special Pork Tortas
Making the pork for these Saturday sandwiches (both $8.95) itself is a three-day process: the shoulder roast gets coated in the same spice rub that Kelsey uses on the beef and cures for two days. (The result, he says, is "a dead ringer for guanciale.") Then he slow-roasts it and chills it overnight; that way, it reabsorbs all its flavorful juices and slices cleanly.Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab

Some might say that chocolate on Valentine's Day is about as unoriginal as you can get. We all remember the first heart-shaped box of overly sweet chocolate bonbons from grade school Valentines. 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.)
