Feb 1st, 2013 at 12:00PM: The more frequently I travel, the more I stress about having enough time to prepare to be away from home for a week or two, and avoid coming home to a refrigerator full of rotten food or leaving a sink full of dishes. Through trial and error, I've discovered the best food to cook before a vacation is a simple roast chicken (sorry, vegetarians). The Department of Health suggests you can keep cooked ...

May 2nd, 2009 at 6:00PM: I'm a vegetarian, so the sight of these chickens in the window elicited a very strong gurgle from my stomach. Before college, however, I was a meat-eater. I didn't have my first salad until I was 18. My parents would frequent Chinatown, and I would gawk at the meat in the window in a similar fashion as I am now. I love Peking duck. I miss the taste of crispy skin with that tangy sauce on a ...

Nov 27th, 2008 at 8:00AM: The unnatural trio of turkey, duck, and chicken might initially make your stomach curl, but the supposed supernatural taste of the turducken might just appease the staunchest of food critics. This chicken in a duck in a turkey has become a nationwide phenomenon in the past decade - so much so that NFL commentator John Madden awards a turducken to the winning team of the Thanksgiving Day game ...

Jan 7th, 2008 at 1:30PM: Jake Melnick's Corner Tap, a tavern located in Chicago's River North neighborhood, announced last Thursday that it will begin selling chicken wings coated in one of the world's hottest chili peppers: the Red Savina. For reference, the Red Savina is roughly twice as hot as the habanero, and 65 times hotter than a jalapeno. The wings, according to a Reuters story, "will be served with an alarm bell ...

Oct 24th, 2007 at 4:10PM: For someone who is a sacrilegious beef-eating Hindu carnivore, I have many 'official' reasons to quit eating meat, but I love my steak and chicken-wings, so that's not going to happen. (In my caste, we cannot even eat egg). Which is why I was thrilled to read that eating chicken can help combat global warming drastically! A recent story on Salon explains in a nutshell: the amount of energy and ...

May 9th, 2007 at 4:36PM: Earlier today, I saw a post on Kevin Kelly's blog about how to move live chickens in China that featured some remarkable images. According to Kelly, "You get some large sacks, poke some holes in the top, weave the birds into each so each head it sticking out, and then you can throw the entire sack on a bicycle or truck. The birds were quiet and seemed to like the swaddling."
Naturally, it ...

Dec 10th, 2006 at 10:03PM: Towards the end of my work week last week sometime while working in Rockville, Maryland I decided to pop into Yekta, a restaurant specializing in kabob and other fine Persian dishes. It was a good decision too. Normally I would have tried the koobideh (skewered lean ground beef) or kabob-e barg (flattened strips of marinated beef), but since I'm shying away from red meat temporarily I went for the ...
