WORLD FARE: Bone broth without the pseudoscience at Woomiok

May 9, 2019 mgardiner

Some time around the mid-2010s, bone broth really became a thing. Sure, it’s been around since at least the 1500s and it’s quite likely that even early humans put bones in a pot and boiled them. But a genuine American fad over good old-fashioned meat stock appears to have been … [Read more...]

WORLD FARE: Ly Heng reveals a Southeast Asian road less travelled

May 1, 2019 mgardiner

"Southeast Asian Cuisine” is one of those terms that seems to have more meaning than it actually does. No doubt it’s the food of lands that might be considered “Southeast Asian,” but that’s nearly tautological and reveals little about the foods. Ask 10 people and they probably … [Read more...]

September 19, 2018 mgardiner

WORLD FARE: Sam the Cooking Guy headlines and Single Fin shines

September 11, 2018 mgardiner

It’s been one of my low-key career goals to be a judge on Chopped. For those who haven’t seen the show, contestants have to prepare restaurant-quality dishes with ingredients that sometimes make no sense. This results in an inherent tension of seemingly conflicting goals that has … [Read more...]

WORLD FARE: Surprising sushi in a Tijuana speakeasy

September 4, 2018 mgardiner

Finding good food in Tijuana is neither difficult nor surprising. Caesar salad? It was invented there. Tacos? Uh, yeah. TJ’s one of the best taco towns anywhere. High-end sushi? Eh, maybe some mariscosor some cheap Sinaloan “sushi,” but up until last month—when Chef Pedro Velardo … [Read more...]
