Happy July 4th and Sorry, Sorry, Sorry!
Happy July 4th from everyone here at Serious Eats. I want to apologize for being absent these last nine days. I've been working 18 hours a day finishing the cookbook I'm writing with Dave Pasternack, the chef at Esca, the Italian seafood restaurant in New York's theater district. The book is called The Young Man and the Sea, and it is coming out next spring. I'll be posting recipes from the book in the coming days and months....Ed's Soapbox
I am as big a champion of sustainable agriculture and responsibly, ethically raised meat as most, but I have to say I'm baffled by Whole Foods' recent decision not to sell live lobsters and crabs in their stores because these crustaceans suffer unnecessarily in captivity and subsequent death. I'm sure lobsters and crabs don't look forward to being put in tanks, killed and eaten, but if we can't eat lobsters and crabs with impunity, what's next? Whole Foods banning the sale of Bumble Bee (or even a fabulous fancy-pants brand like Ortiz) tuna because the tuna suffer horribly on their way to the can? Talk about slippery slope....More 100 calorie packs are on their way
Ad Age reports that the success of the 100 calorie packs are bringing many new players and products into the category....Richard M. Daley for President
According to today's New York Times, Chicago's City Council yesterday became the first city in the country to outlaw the sale of foie gras. According to the Chicago Sun Times Chi-town mayor Richard M. Daley had this to say in response: "We have children getting killed by gang leaders and dope dealers. We have real issues here in this city. And we're dealing with foie gras? Let's get some priorities." Finally, a politician I can get behind. Richard M. Daley for President! He's a decider. And a prioritizer....The Cookie Calorie Monster
Okay, I finally went to my supermarket to check out the caloric content of the national cookie brands to compare them to the 5o calorie (and rather small) South Beach Diet Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookies. Sure enough a regular Chips Ahoy cookie has 53 1/3 calories, a s does a regular Oreo, and a Fig Newton has 55 calories. The only conclusion a sane man could come to: Eat two Oreos or Fig Newtons. Of course the problem is they don't make 100 calorie packages of regular Oreos or Fig Newtons. But doesn't this suggest a marketing opportunity for Nabisco?...Willie Mae Seaton Needs You
Willie Mae Seaton makes the best fried chicken I've ever had in my life. And I've eaten thousands of pieces of fried chicken across America in search of the best. Willie Mae Seaton's chicken has a crisp and crunchy exterior, is just salty enough, and has that cosmic "oneness" between skin and crust. And if you want to taste it, listen up. Now pushing ninety, Ms. Seaton was wiped out by Katrina. Her restaurant, Willie Mae's Scotch House, was until a few years ago a true neighborhood treasure savored by her fellow Treme residents and some foodies in the know from New Orleans and beyond. Now the Southern Foodways Alliance, along with the Viking Range Company, is trying to raise...I Don't Hate Vegans!
Someone accused me of being anti-vegan after reading my pig-hunting entry. I am not, but I must apologize for my often flippant remarks about vegans. I must say that I've never had a vegan meal (or even a dish) I loved, but that doesn't mean I hate vegans. In fact, one of my favorite people in the world is a vegan, a first cousin of the "some of my best friends are" cliche....Sometimes you have to go beyond delicious!
In the early eighties, when NYC was in dire need of some financial help from the federal government, then President Gerald Ford turned the city down flat. The next day's tabloid headline in NY was: "Ford to NY: Drop Dead!" After spending three days in New Orleans, I have concluded that Bush is saying the same thing to New Orleans. The devastation is so much greater than what I have seen on television. Katrina turned out to be an equal opportunity destroyer. I drove through middle-class white neighborhoods and middle class Black neighborhoods, and working class neighborhoods of every color on this earth, and it was so depressing. There is no water and no electricity and no schools open in...Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
