Grilling: Honey Chipotle Wings

From Recipes [Photographs: Joshua Bousel] Ever since The Food Lab uncovered the baking powder for crispy wings trick , I’ve been rocking grilled wings all the time. With my wings now near perfection—my wife even suggests them anytime we have company, her sly way of getting more for herself—I’ve been branching out beyond the usual buffalo and trying out different sauces. The latest, and greatest, incarnation were wings slathered in a honey chipotle glaze . I love packing heat. When I first concocted this sauce and took a spoonful, it forced a hiccup reaction that I’ve only encountered a few times when eating peppers so spicy, they should only be consumed on a double dog dare. Although I found pleasure in this pain, I worried it may be a little much for others. But I stayed with what I had, and that was a good thing. The sauce caramelized and charred slightly over the heat of the coals, bringing out the sweetness of the honey and mellowing the extreme heat. What starts as a sweet crisp bite into a wing, ends up leaving a slight smoky burn in the back of your mouth , a taste…

White Chocolate Cashew Krispies

[ Flickr: kreg.steppe ] As an adolescent, I went through a phase where I was always looking for scientific studies to “prove” how everything my parents had done was wrong. I read an article that suggested that toddlers, before having an exposure to parental prompting or cultural influences, would eat a perfectly balanced diet just by instinct—not necessarily as formal meals, but if left alone for a day amongst food, they would graze in a manner so as to eat just what their bodies needed. I just knew that study must be true, based upon the post-dinnertime hours I sat watching creamed spinach congeal in front of me—or when I was forced to finish large restaurant dinners that were too expensive to waste. But my memory offers me evidence that questions the validity of that study—slightly. Like so many children, I remember the first time I ever cooked something. Baking, as opposed to heating up Ragu or throwing a plain breast of chicken in the broiler, was alien to my home. But my mother took me on a play date with a girl my age. I don’t remember …

[ Photographs: Daniel Zemans ] Varasano’s Pizzeria 2171 Peachtree Road Northeast Atlanta, GA 30309 ( map ); 404-352-8216 ‎; varasanos.com Pizza Style: New York –inspired, but into the realm of artisanal Oven Type: Electric Price: Whole pies, $12 to $16 Jeff Varasano was first exposed to homemade pizza at the age of 3 when he briefly lived with his pizza-making grandmother. A few years later, the Bronx-born Varasano regularly made pizzas with his mother, starting with store-bought dough. When he moved to Manhattan in early adulthood, his apartment kitchen made pizza-making impossible, but he was exposed to a whole new world of pizzerias that he explored regularly, oftentimes stopping at Joe’s on Carmine Street, which remained his favorite for years. Within days of moving to Atlanta in 1998, the software engineer started making his own pizzas once again. On trips home, he would make sure to go to Joe’s but also started following recommendations to try out …

Taste of Beverly Hills: September 2-5, Beverly Hills, CA

Food and Wine Magazine knows when it’s onto a good thing. Building on the success of the long running and incredibly popular Aspen Food and Wine Classic, the magazine (actually it’s publisher, American Express) has branched out to bring a similar, if somewhat abbreviated version to South Beach in Florida, and has become a major sponsor of the Pebble Beach Food and Wine event in Carmel, California And now Food and Wine magazine has launched the Taste of Beverly Hills , a four-day extravaganza of food, wine, cocktails and music at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. Attendees to the event will have the opportunity to taste food from many of LA’s top restaurants; watch cooking demonstrations by big-name chefs and cocktail mixing demos by top mixologists; taste wine from more than 80 different wineries (including some really excellent ones); and more. Some of my readers have complained in the past about the quality of wine and food festivals in the Los Angeles area, so I would expect this event to set a new bar for both the quality of food and the quality of the logistics. The event also features a lot of music, a nice touch to complement all the food and wine. Consult the event web site for lots of information about the schedule …

Grilling: Corn with Chili Lime Butter

From Recipes [Photographs: Joshua Bousel] There are some things so common on my grill that I never think about them as “blog worthy.” Take corn for example. Grilling it to perfection has become second nature, but I still like to toy around with new ways to gussy it up. My latest tasty incarnation: grilled ears slathering in a chili-lime butter . For a long time I’ve been grilling corn in their husks, and while that certainly is the most attractive way to prepare them, I always found the process—of removing the silk, tying the husk, then soaking the ears—rather arduous. Instead, try removing the silk and husk completely, rubbing on some butter, salt, and pepper, and foiling it up—then it’s off to the grill. Foil seems to provide the right balance between protecting the corn while transferring enough heat to lightly char the kernels (a must for my grilled corns). Right off the grill, corn prepared this way is mightily tasty, but slather on a butter mixture with chili powder, cayenne, lime zest and juice like I did on these ears, and it’s taken to a whole new level. The …
