I had started a home kitchen in August 2020 during the lockdown. In January 2021, I was contacted by Gormei, a Hong Kong based food and travel consultancy. Their mandate was that I dig into my roots and create menus that reflect the soul of Hakka cuisine.To do that, I held brainstorming sessions with my mother and mother in law to discover how food was cooked in their time.A dish that I discovered we do differently was the steamed pork belly with preserved mustard greens. To save time, we just pressure cook the greens with the pork belly. But during…
Sitting in a shady bar called Friday, overlooking the Maurice Bishop airport runway and the Caribbean Sea precariously close beyond it, I’m about to sample a Grenadian shot called ‘under the counter’ – and all before breakfast.The co-owner Leana Mcintyre and her 19-year-old son, Kyle, show me the potion, which sits in a gallon glass jar filled with a myriad homegrown herbs, leaves and spices including lemon grass, ginger, nutmeg and perhaps even a centipede, forming a brown concoction steeped in the local Rivers white rum.‘Under the counter’ is a potent brew (Hannah Stephenson/PA)It’s a welcome drink often given to…
Long drive-through lines and long threads of social-media criticism – some people were part of both – greeted Bojangles for its September opening in Columbus.The arrival of the Southern fried-chicken chain in central Ohio was long-awaited and much anticipated. What many fans didn’t realize until it opened on Sept. 12, though, is that the local outpost doesn’t sell Bojangles’ trademark fried chicken or country ham biscuits.For some, boneless tenders and ham-less biscuits just don’t cut it.Columbus Foodies | Just tried to go to bojangles and this is their whole menu“I was SO excited to hear this was opening,” one Facebook…

A few years ago, I was walking around a freezing firework display with my friend Laura, trying to find anything to bring us comfort in the bitter cold. We discovered a stall selling an incredible hog roast roll packed with pork, stuffing and apple sauce, which led me to create these delicious sausage rolls. They’re the ultimate comfort snack.Makes 8pork sausages 400g, skins removed, or pork sausage meatdried sage and onion stuffing mix 50g dried thyme 1 tbsp ready-rolled puff pastry sheet 1 x 320g ready-made sweetened apple sauce 100g (I use a chunky kind)egg 1, beaten, to glazefennel seeds…

For a start, the Detroit-based chef, who currently has 1.7 million followers on the platform, doesn’t fit within the usual age bracket for an influencer. “I’m pushing 40 and on TikTok,” he says. “I feel old every day.” On the other hand, Kung has a knack for digital storytelling and for making a big impression.

Podcast by CAPITOL WEEKLY STAFF posted 10.02.2023 CAPITOL WEEKLY PODCAST: It wasn’t long ago that the idea of chefs moonlighting as political advocates – and finding a willing audience of elected officials – might have seemed ludicrous. Now, celebrity chefs and a fascination with food culture has changed all that. Many chefs are dedicated activists for causes like hunger relief efforts, supporting local farmers, fighting food waste, confronting racism and sexism in the industry, and more. And, politicians listen. Katherine Miller has a background in organizing activists throughout the world: she trained thousands of community activists how to work toward…
Summer has drifted away, but that doesn’t mean it’s time to give up on waterfront dining.The Baltimore area has plenty of year-round marina restaurants, and even many of the seasonal ones will be open for another month or so while the weather is mild. While some dockside restaurants have a reputation as overpriced tourist traps that focus on stunning views rather than the quality of their menus, others are pushing to overturn that stereotype with creative and well-executed fare.Squeeze in a few more outdoor dining experiences — and take in some spectacular sunsets — this fall with our list of…
Nothing clears a room like a smelly fart. Even though this gas, known scientifically as flatus, is a part of our daily lives, we still know surprisingly little about what goes into it. So which foods make us the gassiest, and which ones make for the stinkiest farts?A smelly fart usually starts with carbohydrates, especially insoluble ones that make it through the stomach and upper intestinal tract without being absorbed, Dr. Ali Rezaie, a gastroenterologist at Cedars Sinai in Los Angeles, told Live Science. Bacteria populating the colon thrive on these unabsorbed sugars, which are “like high-octane fuel for them,”…

Stir-fried noodles mingling with onions, celery, cabbage, and succulent chicken, all tossed in a delicious sauce—restaurant-style chicken chow mein is a cinch to make at home! Let’s talk noodles. Navigating the world of chow mein within American Chinese restaurants can be confusing. “Chow mein” translates to “stir-fried noodles,” which are typically tossed with vegetables and sometimes meat or tofu. When ordering from a Chinese restaurant, you’ll encounter two main styles. Some places serve Hong Kong-style chow mein, which features deep-fried crispy noodles served over veggies and proteins in a…
