I knew my trip to Hong Kong wouldn't be complete without at least one dim sum meal. But how do you choose where to go in a city with hundreds of dim sum choices? Maybe narrow it down to Michelin-starred restaurants. Maybe super narrow it down to the cheapest Michelin-starred restaurant in the world: Tim Ho Wan. More

Dump a busload of American nerds, jocks, and cheerleaders in the middle of nowhere in Europe. What could possibly go wrong? Eh, they might get chased down by murderous butchers who want to use their flesh for burgers. More
You will watch this animated short featuring a floppy blob of a dog making an omelette for its exhausted, depressed owner, and you will enjoy it. Thank you, Madeline Sharafian (a BFA2 character animator at CalArts) for these two-and-a-half minutes of heartswelling cuteness. More
We may celebrate burgers year-round on AHT, but May is even more burger-crazed than the rest of the year because, for reasons we don't know, it's National Hamburger Month. Hooray for arbitrary food holidays! Use May as an excuse to eat great burgers, cook great burgers (and brush up your burger-cooking skills), buy burger gifts, read a burger book, and reacquaint yourself with America's burger styles.

If you're like me and will eat pretty much anything flavored with black sesame, then the hot black sesame paste from Yat Yat Sweet is for you. It's not a paste so much as a thick soup/liquidy pudding that coats your innards with sweet black sesame. More
Ngau Kee Food Cafe is an old school, family-run Hong Kong-style restaurant well known in the neighborhood for good, inexpensive, homey Cantonese food. Unfortunately, Ngau Kee's landlord doesn't share the same appreciation for awesome food, and the restaurant is closing this Sunday, April 21. More
@leecube: Yay, you're welcome!
@all: Ok, I'm glad I'm not the only one who was sort of crushed by Choc Boy's victory. KINOKO NO YAMA 4 EVER!
@missmochi: Mushroom Man would sooo destroy Choco Boy.
@loop d'liu: I didn't look for these in Taiwan/HK, so I can't recall...I'd assume they sell em there, though? And yeah, that texture is...blegh.
@feedmillgirl: Sorry for the confusion! And @Teachertalk, thanks for popping in to help! The order of the recipe links was wrong so I just switched em...hopefully that'll make things less confusing for other people.
@Blaise: Thanks, it's in now!
@farewelltypewriter: You're welcome! I gravitate towards simple burgers, but I love crispy watercress salad. And cashews. And aioli. And curry. All that between two buns sounds pretty good to me. :)
@tninyt817: You have to go to Delta's T4X pop-up space to get the coupon. Info in the post above.
Thanks for entering, everyone! The winner this week is romayo. We'll have another giveaway come up tomorrow!
@leecube: Yup, coupon should be redeemable at other Shake Shack locations!
@LaurieWendy, Anna, Becka, megawong: If only we could teleport right now...we could eat the whole menu.
@Ryan_M: Yeah, that's the impression I got after reading a few HK reviews...that it's not the best, but it's great for the price. No reason not to try it at least once. It was one of the highlights of my trip, for sure. I didn't have to wait for hours though, thank god!
Thanks for entering, everyone! The winner this week is Jimbo C. We'll have another giveaway come up tomorrow!
@attgig: Oops, that should be "burger." I'll fix!

@ZoetMB: Having walked with Noah through the lobby, I must agree that it smelled like beef. :\ It didn't punch us in the face or anything, but it was unmistakable. Maybe some days smell beefier than others?
I can't believe I used to live around the block from there and I only tried their sandwiches once (thanks to Noah)! I AM FAIL. Go back in time and make your video three years ago? :)
@Everyone: AHT editor here (because, although it apparently doesn't show, someone edits these posts). I must have lived a particularly chaste life because I had no idea what "stinky beef curtains" meant. All I thought was that it sounded like a totally accurate description of the setting, one that I could imagine writing myself. I know now that Noah didn't pull the description out of thin air, but if you're wondering how it could get past me, it's because I would've never thought, "Hey, I should google 'stinky beef curtains' to make sure it doesn't mean something vulgar." So, I'm sorry my ignorance has offended so many people. I've deleted the "stinky beef." I hope plain ol' "curtains" is fine with everyone.
@SlideSF: I didn't get it at all. I suppose I am the most naive/ignorant person here, then. I'll note I actually put in the word "maroon", not Noah. Of course I didn't know what it all led up to. To my underdeveloped brain, the description is spot-on.
Anyway, I'm glad people are reading the post and commenting, so I hope that we can return to talk about burgers now. Thank you!
@Walrus McDoodle: I'm going to make the edit, thanks! It befuddles me when a beloved burger joint doesn't season their patties. Sigh.
I WANT TO EAT A BUCKET OF THIS, IT IS SO GOOD.
Neat watch, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for entering the giveaway, everyone! The winners are dhs89 and LikesToEatJunk; you've been sent emails on how to claim your tickets.
@finsbigfan: Yup, Teen Girl Squad! I linked to them in my asterisked note. :)
@eRicou: I'd be so into that. But we'd probably have to space it out over...a few...years.
@famdoc: I can understand not wanting to go to Shopsins because of the horror stories, but out of all my times going to Shopsins (not a buttload...but a bunch), I've only seen him berate someone once. And it wasn't even a customer; it was someone walking around Essex Street Market he sensed was bothering a customer. Unnecessary, but not enough to bother me. (Admittedly, I've been acclimated to Kenny after eating at Shopsins with Ed a few times.) I've seen him be nice to people too, and everyone else who works there seems pleasant. I hope that's the typical experience.
@billyboy: Thanks for the info! I'll edit the slide.
@TSDGuy: Ah yeah...I have the book and I've seen the documentary. Both great, yup! (For anyone who's interested, we have some recipes from the book.) I hadn't thought about mentioning them in this post since it's a short thing about a sandwich. If I were writing specifically about Kenny, that'd be different.
I go a bit nuts every spring and summer when fresh produce is at its best. I end up buying things willy nilly, without much thought as to how I'm going to prepare, much less eat, all of it myself. After several valiant dinner parties and late night asparagus binges, I still find myself with far too much produce to even consider finishing everything before it starts to lose quality. More

It's the third time in half an hour that Fuchsia Dunlop, cook, writer, and scholar of Chinese food, has said so on our shopping trip through Chinatown.
Fuchsia's new cookbook, Every Grain of Rice, is all about getting the most out of simple home cooked dishes that rely on a couple main ingredients a few supporting pantry items. She took us around Chinatown to show us just what those ingredients were—and how to cook with them.

Known as Eden Center, this suburban strip mall has been growing into the East Coast capital of Vietnamese immigrant culture for almost 40 years. Here are the 10 must-eats: broken rice, bun cha, and more! More
This simple old fashioned dish with flat and tender dumplings is nothing short of slurpy chicken heaven. More
When done right, clam chowder should be rich and filling, but not sludgy or stew-like. But what is the best way to cook chowder? Can the dump-and-simmer method be improved upon by some modern technique? I decided to break it down element by element and figure out how to make the platonic ideal of my childhood Cape Cod memories. More
This creamy tomato sauce packs a flavorful punch. Toast up some buttery Parmesan garlic bread to serve on the side. More

A rich homemade chicken stock forms the base of this hearty, creamy chowder. More
Cold weather means bulking up and pasta's one great way to do so. We've had some great vegetarian-friendly pastas of late, and even if ingredients change with the seasons, here are ten kitchens we trust to make us a more than satisfying veg-friendly noodle. More
When I heard that The NoMad was offering a sandwiched version of their incredible chicken—foie gras, truffles, brioche, and all—on their brunch menu for only $26, I suddenly thought to myself, hey, now I can finally afford to eat Daniel Humm's roast chicken whenever the mood strikes, before my line of thought stopped with a big mental record-scratch: wait a minute. That's a $26 chicken sandwich. Could it possibly be worth the price? I saw it as my duty to find out. More
"Am I really going to live in Jersey City?" Jason Hua, the executive chef at The Dutch, asked himself before moving from Manhattan. But after spending a day across the Hudson river in New Jersey's second most populous city, with its Brooklyn-resembling tree-lined streets and sweeping views of the Manhattan skyline and Ms. Statue of Liberty, you'll start to understand why. Especially when you get to eating. More
Established in the 1940s by Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia, the Essex Street Market has witnessed—and played part in—the ever-changing culture of the Lower East Side. Market newcomer Dorie Greenspan took us on a crawl of her new home. Follow along on our tour! More
There's a reason why Alton Brown's brined roast turkey recipe from Good Eats is the number one recipe on the Food Network's website. In this video, he sits down at our office and talks turkey and the methodology behind his recipe. More
I can not possibly put down enough words of praise of this dish. I won't even try. Instead, I will say this: it is the best thing I have ever made. (And I have made a whole lot of stuff!) More
Casseroles are the real secret to a good home cook's Thanksgiving (or any large dinner party) success. All of the work is done ahead of time, which means they bake off right alongside the turkey, or even while the turkey is resting. Try this casserole with creamed swiss chard, white beans, and a crunchy breadcrumb topping. More
Before you continue reading, may I kindly suggest that you do the following in order to save yourself some time in the future: drop what you are doing right now, and shoot an email out to all of your Thanksgiving guests informing them of the menu change you are about to make. This year, you will be frying your brussels sprouts. And this is why. More
Baked pasta dishes should be hearty, but sometimes they turn out heavy, too—and those two things don't necessarily need to go hand in hand. Sure, it's easy enough to load up a baking dish with pasta and cheese and meat and whatever else, but this recipe from Martha Stewart is a little more delicate. There's plenty of kale to stand in for some of the pasta, and an airy ricotta to keep things light. More
There's not much to a good fried fish sandwich. The real key is all in the batter. A traditional beer batter is made with lightly leavened flour and cold, bubbly beer. More
One thing I have been eating a lot of lately is these beancurd sticks. Like tofu, they are high in protein and low in fat; unlike tofu, they keep indefinitely in the cupboard. Here are three dishes you can make with beancurd sticks. More
In Houston, "Chinatown" should probably more aptly be named "Asiatown," or perhaps even "Vietnam-town," as the population there is by no means solely Chinese. I might suggest calling it "Little Saigon," but there's nothing little about it either. Occupying a 6 square mile area, it's bigger than New York's Chinatown, Little Italy, Soho, Lower East Side, East Village, West Village, Flatiron District, and Tribeca combined. Heck, there are single mega-supermarkets in Houston's chinatown that are big enough to house the entirety of New York's Chinatown. Bigger doesn't always mean better, but in this case I can say that the Vietnamese food in Houston's Chinatown is some of the finest I've had anywhere outside of Vietnam. More
Pork and chives dumpling filling, a tinge sweet and gingery. More
Omg I want it.
