MELS, an NYC School Where Food Policy Is Part of the Curriculum
I recently heard about a school making the awareness of healthy eating and food production a goal for all of its students. Even my cynical side couldn't find a way to critique the good work at the Metropolitan Expeditionary Learning School (MELS) in New York City. In every subject, for six weeks, kids were learning about food through an agricultural, scientific, cultural, and even musical lens.Hidden Gems: Smoke Jazz Club in NYC
People don't usually go to jazz clubs for the food. "It's almost as if they intentionally make it bad to make you appreciate the music more," Ed said in his previous review of Smoke Jazz Club. Of course there have been exceptions, and we still think Smoke Jazz Club uptown is one of them.Coffee News in Pasadena, NYC, and Seattle
These times represent a national acceptance of quality, handmade coffee. Cafes all over are rethinking the "faster is better" mentality and refusing to compromise quality for volume. From Intelligentsia's grand view of what a cafe can be, New York's Chelsea Market getting a visit from an espresso machine manufacturer, and a passionate barista in Seattle putting his foot down, things are heating up this summer for coffee nationwide.Tasting Tour: Eating on the Go in NYC
Last week we went to Europe with our Tasting Tour, taking a spin of Parisian baked goods. This week, we're on more familiar territory —New York City, where Serious Eats is based. Thanks to all the lively discussion in Serious Eats New York Talk, we have a pretty good idea of what visitors to our fair city want to know. So we're going to give you our guide to eating on the go here.Serious Eats Presents 'The Greenmarket: One Farmer's Story'
We follow Rick Bishop from his farm in Roscoe, New York, to a farmers' market in New York City.What Is Superman Ice Cream?
Photograph from jamelah on Flickr Superman ice cream is a Michigan thing involving three flavors (in shades of blue, red, and yellow—your standard Superman colors) working together, sort of like Neapolitan. So is it just vanilla ice cream with buckets of food coloring? Apparently no, at least not in the case of the blue flavor. Blue Moon, another Michigan (or maybe more Midwestern in general) thing—and not beer in this context— is a super sweet Smurf-colored flavor that apparently "just tastes like blue." Some guesstimate that the yellow is vanilla (others have said banana, but they have little support) and that red is cherry, raspberry, strawberry, or another generic sweet-ish red fruit. It sounds like a bubble gum ice...Serious Cheese: What Happens When a Curd Nerd Becomes Lactose Intolerant?
Our Serious Cheese columnist had an awful stomach attack after some gelato, which at first he thought (and on some level, probably hoped) was food poisoning, but later reasoned that it could be sudden-onset lactose intolerance. Gasp! Could the curd nerd really be lactose intolerant?Serious Cheese: Grilled Cheese, Georgian Style
Photograph from Goulven Champenois on Flickr The combination of crusty dough and melted cheese has spawned some of the greatest foods in the world. Pizza and grilled cheese come first to mind for many Americans, but the United States can hardly claim ownership. Indeed, thousands of miles across the world, in a land wedged between the Black Sea to the west and the Caspian Sea to the east, the bread-and-cheese meme has perhaps reached its apex in the form of the Georgian food khachapuri—literally, "cheese bread."...Photo of the Day: Meat Mural
This photo caught my eye while I was paging through my Flickr contacts. It's a wall mural comprising cuts of meat at the restaurant Fette Sau in Brooklyn. Taken by Mintyfresh of the knitting blog Pepperknit....Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
