I rarely cook something the same way twice. This is especially true with pasta sauce, as it is adaptable by nature. The other night I was making a simple spaghetti dinner for myself and a friend, simply because I had found a can of tomatoes I didn’t know I had. As I was tasting and tweaking, I remembered I had about…
Is there anything better than a nicely roasted rotisserie chicken from the store? Just pick one of those bad boys up, and you’ve got dinner already halfway made. Depending on the size of your family, though, you might end up with a few pieces of leftover bird. In honor of our rotisserie chicken smackdown (and we’ve…

Dear Salty, I travel a lot for business and recently got assigned to a client in a podunk town with hardly any non-fast-food restaurants. The last two trips there, I’ve just ended up ordering hotel room service because it’s easy and the food was pretty decent.

Dinara Kasko was an architect before she became a pastry chef, and it’s evident in her use of fascinating shapes and angles that look more like art than dessert. According to this brief Core 77 piece, Kasko uses 3D printers to create the molds. However she creates these incredible pieces, I can’t stop scrolling…

My love for eggplant is fierce, pure, and, according to a lot of people, not normal. I don’t get it. At its best, this gorgeous nightshade nothing short of edible silk—what’s not to love about that?
PG-rated internet thirst trap Matt Adlard has been baking up sugary designer confections on his YouTube channel as the Topless Baker for about two years now. In a Sisyphean twist of fate, the British social media star’s success as an amateur pâtissier disqualifies him from consideration as a contestant on The Great…
When we were kids, the threat of someone putting razor blades in apples turned out to be an urban legend. But this is much worse, because it’s real, and widespread: The Washington Post reports that in Australia “someone is placing sewing needles inside strawberries—endangering those who eat them and sending panic…
Communion wafers don’t taste good. They don’t taste like much of anything, in fact, so why is it that the paper-thin hosts, as the Church calls them, are so damn satisfying to munch on? The Takeout has already explored the mass appeal of communion wafers, tracing 80 percent of the wafers used in U.S. churches to just…
Allow us to make this controversial statement: Please don’t bring a gun to Chuck E. Cheese’s? Sure we all may have thought about shooting an animatronic band member as hour four of an endless children’s party kicks in, but who among us who would actually do so?
Avocado toast is one of those items where it usually makes sense to purchase at the cafe: topped with pickled onions, sun-dried tomatoes, and/or sesame seeds, the presentation is usually much fancier than you would put on your own plate at home. We say usually, because a recent diner was quite dismayed by her recent…

Owen Lefkovits will probably grow up to run a Fortune 500 company, mark our words. The precocious Georgia 10-year-old has already created his own business—O.L. Vending—and overcome start-up costs, inventory issues, and equipment troubles to create a profitable business. Except that he donates those profits to his…
I wasn’t expecting to think so deeply about the ethics of all-you-can-eat sushi this morning, but here we are. Recent reports that a German triathlete was asked not to return to a restaurant after consuming too much all-you-can-eat sushi have me considering what exactly the moral limits are of an all-you-can-eat…

Some culinary combinations are so perfect they can work in a variety of configurations. Bacon, lettuce, and tomato makes a perfect sandwich, but also an amazing pasta (swap out arugula for lettuce). The pairing of chocolate and peanut butter works as well in ice cream as it does in a candy bar. Grilled cheese and…
There are opportunities in this life that, when they present themselves, you simply cannot fail to act. These golden moments seem to sparkle, to shine, and some primal part of you knows that its light will fade soon, that the window will close, so you must simply act, and act now, leap into the fray and grab the ring…
