Growing Support for Street Food in Boston

“Now it’s Boston’s turn to bring food trucks to our city.” Lines at Boston’s Food Truck Festival. [ Unless noted, Photographs: Penny Cherubino ] Boston city councilor Michael Ross has been an early supporter of street food, calling for a simpler permitting process. “We need to roll out the welcome mat for businesses, let people know Boston is a business-friendly city, embrace innovation. Food trucks are welcome,” Ross told Devra First in the Boston Globe. I chatted with him about the growing support for food trucks in Boston. How hard will it be to get the new food truck program passed? Is there a time frame yet for the hearing and the process? Boston has waited too long to address how we license and permit food trucks, and other cities have already embraced these small businesses. Now it’s Boston’s turn to bring food trucks to our city. We’ve scheduled the hearing for Tuesday, August 31 at 2:30 p.m. It will be held on the fifth floor of City Hall. The goal of this hearing is to hear testimony from all the stakeholders and lay out a specific process for bringing food trucks to Boston as soon as possible. The Clover Food Lab began with a truck near the MIT …

Ming’s Pasta

Plain can be tasty: pasta tossed with Bovril and butter, a dish not for the faint of weight. I realise that I don’t have any food recipes to blog since it’s still CNY and I’m still eating out, at restaurants, friends’ and my MIL’s. So before all my readers run away, here’s the world’s simplest way to serve pasta according to my son Ming who cooked it up, literally. All you need is pasta, preferably the ones with a hollow center like macaroni and bucatini, Bovril and the best butter. That would be Lurpak or President butter here but if you can get Kerrygold, which we used to get, that’s good too. A cheaper but still good butter is Anchor block butter. This is a pasta dish for hungry teenagers whose moms are lazy/too busy/ran out of money/all the previous excuses/reasons. Ming’s Pasta 1. Boil your pasta in salted water as usual (and never add oil, it’s unecessary and makes the pasta too slippery for the sauce to cling) and to the texture you like. Drain well. 2. When still hot, add lots of butter and Bovril. That’s it. A minestrone or

Kitchen Monkey Getting Married (and Restaurant Daniel, and Other Matters)

Yes, it’s true, and there’s much to tell about that, but first a bit about the long absence. Shamefully, it has been around a year and a half since my last post. I’ve been busy with work, recording music, and yes, cooking. Somehow the blog fell by the wayside, but I’m hoping to change that. Yes, I know I’ve said that before. No, I’m not assuming that you care. There have been numerous interesting food adventures in the past year or so–sojourns to out-of-the-way butcher shops and farms; fantastic farmers markets; excellent D.C. area restaurants–but two adventures easily stand out. The first is the SASOU Chef cooking competition/supper club that Kitchen Monkey and seven friends formed over a year ago. SASOU deserves its own post, however, and will have to wait. The second was a truly phenomenal dinner at a truly phenomenal restaurant: Daniel. That dinner was part of what I would say was a perfect day, the day I proposed to my soon-to-be-wife. Without going into too much detail, I proposed in a secluded part of Central Park in Manhattan, she was surprised, and she said yes. She knew we had reservations at Daniel. She didn’t know it was…

The Super Round-Up, December 19

[Image via VegNews ] Did somebody say VEGAN CHALLAH ?� Oh yes, VegNews just did!�It’s going to be a good Hanukkah this year, Jews! (Is eggless challah possible?) Psst…I think I also heard them say ” vegan gingerbread cookies .” Who’s up for a vegan gingerbread house bake-off? Hmmm? Farm Sanctuary reminded us to sign their Petition for the Pigs , a letter that asks President Obama to demand that the USDA extend legal protection to downed pigs . Yeah, um, did we all just assume that pigs were covered like certain other large mammals? Terry Hope Romero’s vegan Latin cookbook Viva Vegan is available for pre-order on Amazon. See how dangerous—and hot—that knife makes her look? Metromix declared Dirt Candy ’s Amanda Cohen Chef of the Year. Amanda Cohen sounds like Samantha Cohen, which means THAT COULD TOTALLY BE ME ONE DAY. USA Today reported on school lunch standards: somehow less stringent than fast-food standards! Even KFC won’t buy the chickens kiddies are eating as chicken plywood nuggets. [ Comments (0) | Add Your Comment ]

Hello/Goodbye Red Snapper Shooter

It’s funny how cathartic the simplest things can be. Cooking Red To Remember . At first “blush” it seems like a beautifully simple way to honor and remember the many millions of people affected by AIDS/HIV. So when Angela at SpinachTiger (shyly) asked me if I would participate. It was easy to answer, “Yes, of course”. It’s a noble gesture and a great way to raise awareness about a disease that is still horrifying in global proportions. But when I sat down to write the introduction to my first entry, Oysters with Red Mignonette , I was surprised by the emotions that came boiling to the surface. You see what I remember about AIDS, especially during those early years was the public condemnation too many of the first victims had to face as an added burden to the bewildering and overwhelming process of dying. This condemnation came in many forms: Medical personnel who did not understand what was going on; friends and family shocked into silence; a new type of fear within the gay community. A fear so deep it threatened to send many of us back into the closet after…
