Serious Eats Road Trip: A Providence Sandwich Jaunt
Alaina and I cruised out of Boston at around 11:30. Our plan: head to Providence for a sandwich tour—the food store-cum-cheese shop Farmstead, by husband and wife chef team Matt and Kate Jennings, and Hewtin's Mobile Hot Dog Truck, owned by Matthew and Kristin Gennuso of Chez Pascal. What better time to visit a food truck in New England than on a sunny day in mid-March, with wheels at your disposal?

Meltaways were one of the first cookies I made when I began my professional baking career. They're incredibly easy and their delicate, crumbly texture makes them terribly addictive. In this version, I made them with lime zest. But if you'd prefer another flavor—like lemon, vanilla bean or even black pepper—go for it.
Hot Dog of the Week: Red Snapper
In this week's edition of Hot Dog of the Week, we get a taste of Maine's famous red snappers, which are made with natural casing beef and pork franks and a healthy dose of FD&C Red #40. Why red? There's no definite answer, but the stories range from a simple marketing scheme to the legend that butchers were trying to hide the gray color of wieners made from old meat.
Parsley: It's More Than Just a Garnish
Parsley's got personality—namely, a clean bright flavor and a lettuce-like crunch. So how about we start treating it like what it is: an herb. It's one of few herbs you can find fresh at any time of year in most supermarkets. There are two types: flat leaf (also called Italian parsley) and curly leaf. In a pinch, either is fine, but note the differences between them.
