Chicken feet are nothing surprising to the frequent dim sum-eater, but to others a bowl of this stuff might look strange and inedible. During a meal at 88 Palace in New York City's Chinatown (which you'll soon read about on Serious Eats New York), we shared an order of steamed chicken feet. One of my Chinese friends said that she's seen them referred to as "Phoenix Claws," which sounds way cooler than it actually is. What do "Phoenix Claws" taste like? In my experience, mostly bone and insubstantial bits of gooey meat matter. I can't say it's my favorite dim sum dish. But don't take my word for it—some people love chicken feet as though it's a gift from...

The story has a happy ending; my friend informed me, "The sandwich was eventually found and left unbitten." Related: Peanut Butter and Jelly: A Serious Eats Special Report...

Photograph from franjmc on Flickr Australian cake designer Fran made this awesome rainbow with a pot of gold cake for a seven-year old's birthday. Zoom in on the pot of gold for more detail. Fran explains that she made the gold coins out of thinly rolled icing that she cut out with a number 4 icing tip. After allowing them to dry, she shook them in a jar with edible gold dust.

Photograph by Robyn Lee. Yesterday, Robyn and I traveled out to quaint Tarrytown, New York to see Andrew Bird perform. Before the show, we popped our little heads into a nextdoor coffee shop, Coffee Labs Roasters, only to find this sign on the glass case. Too many muffins is never a bad thing. Because it only means that, somewhere, it's raining muffins! Wherever "they" are....

Kenny Shopsin doesn't make just any fried chicken; he makes taco-fried chicken coated in spicy buffalo wing sauce. And it's goooood. Random shards of tortilla chips provide pockets of crispy, corny deliciousness in every juicy bite chicken. If you can't make it to Shopsin's restaurant, try out the recipe at home. Now you have a use for those tortilla chip bits at the bottom of the bag.
