In the ever-evolving landscape of fine dining, few chefs can boast a résumé as impressive as that of Chef Brian Lockwood. Renowned for his culinary artistry and innovative approach, Lockwood has worked alongside culinary legends like Daniel Humm at both Eleven Madison Park and The NoMad. His experience spans multiple MICHELIN-starred restaurants in Europe, including El Celler De Can Roca, L'Escaleta, and La Subida.

Shinola Hotel is ushering in a new chapter of culinary excellence with the appointment of Mary-Catherine Moore as the Executive Director of Food & Beverage and Managing Partner. Known for her extensive experience in the hospitality industry, Moore will oversee culinary operations across a dynamic range of venues, including the upscale Italian restaurant San Morello, the urban speakeasy Evening Bar, the beer hall The Brakeman, and the beloved fried chicken spot Penny Red's.

At most, Lim recalls, maybe one item - say, a curry puff - would nod toward the local food culture. Because afternoon tea at the big hotels was "fancy" and expensive, Lim says even locals wanted the food to be authentically British. Why would anyone pay so much to eat a Malaysian snack they could buy down the street for just a few ringgits?

Spring hasn't quite sprung yet, but Cracker Barrel has already rolled out a menu conjuring thoughts of fresh flowers and warm weather. The restaurant known for homestyle cooking is kicking off 2026, leaning into comfort favorites with a lineup that draws on holiday classics and those sweet treats everyone hopes to find in their Easter basket. The new menu is equal parts nostalgia and new, with several fan favorites returning alongside a few first timers.

Laboureau can most often be found in his Argentinian restaurant, Fuegos LA, which he operates with his partner in love and business, Maximilian Pizzi. But with years of experience in production design and fashion, he recently found himself dreaming up the inside of Bad Bunny's casita, a set piece previously seen only from the exterior during the Grammy Award-winning rapper and singer's "No Me Quiero Ir De Aqui" residency in Puerto Rico.

Northern Italian cooking is built for long meals, cold weather, and patience, which is exactly the sort of food you want when settling in for hours of competition. From Lombardy and Piedmont to Emilia-Romagna and Liguria, these regions favor slow braises, creamy risottos, rich broths, and breads meant to be torn and shared. Whether you're feeding a crowd or committing to a cozy afternoon

It's hard to say no to deep fried cheese, and the miles-long cheese pull that any good mozzarella stick bestows. Since restaurant chains from steakhouses to sports bars all boast them on their menus, we tasted and ranked 8 chain restaurant mozzarella sticks according to taste, texture, breading, and cheese quality, along with the taste and consistency of any accompanying dipping sauces. Unfortunately, Buffalo Wild Wings' offerings landed in last place.

Who doesn't love pasta? When I need a hug-in-a-bowl type of dinner, something cheesy and saucy is always what comes to mind first. Even when I'm thinking about making a special dinner, maybe for a date-night in or a friend coming over, comforting pasta recipes are always top of mind. If you find yourself needing a little something to look forward to at the end of the day, consider making one of these comforting pasta dinners this week. They all pair perfectly with a good

We have a kitchen that we make things from scratch in the airport. You order garlic shrimp... they are not pre-made somewhere, they're cooked in the kitchen before you eat them. And you order your steak, and it's coming medium rare, and it's been cooked before you eat it,

Bearing the phrase "triple cherry" in the title, this lofty claim was a lot for the store-bought cherry pie to live up to. In Tasting Table's estimations, however, it absolutely does. Per our taste tester's assessment, the pie boasts three different kinds of cherries: black, sweet, and tart. The fruity depth and rich buttery crust come together for a perfect bite that outshines even Marie Callender's.

If you were a frequent coffee shop-goer and Instagram scroller in the mid-2010s, chances are you remember when a certain grassy green beverage started to pop up on café menus, grid posts, and Tumblr feeds. (Of course, we're talking about matcha.) Now, some ten years later, another type of Japanese green tea has made the jump over to the U.S. market: hojicha.

When it comes to design, the smallest details can make the biggest difference in any room. And as a renter with limited options for overhauling my own kitchen, I've always relied on impactful decor to create a playful environment where my guests feel comfortable. So when I spotted Costco's adorable Pandex Icon Glasses - a play on one of 2025's most popular glassware designs - I knew I had to check them out.

The culinary monstrosity, created in 1999 by "Dilbert" cartoonist and Trump acolyte Scott Adams, is exactly what it sounds like. It's a burrito, except it's directly tied to his famous cartoon character that once accompanied thousands of newspapers circulating across the world. With its garish color scheme and debossed packaging, the vegetarian burritos - which contained blasphemous ingredients like corn, broccoli and dry vitamins - promised to provide cheap, nutritious meals to broke college students and weary office drones.

In a soft-flour tortilla wrap is a rich filling made from cage-free scrambled eggs; crisp, double-smoked bacon; pork sausage; melted Cheddar cheese; and potatoes - any one of these is sure to fill you up for the day ahead. Outside of the high protein amount, another awesome thing about this wrap is how nicely it's balanced between satisfying hunger and keeping you energized through the morning - all for 640 calories.

Its origins lie in the county's mining past, where it was devised as a complete, portable meal. The crimp acted as a handle, and some pasties were even made with different fillings at each end, offering both savoury and sweet in a single bake. Debate over the perfect pasty remains lively, but the classic combination of beef, potato, onion and swede is still the benchmark, and for many, still the one to beat.

If you love cereal but you're the kind of person who prefers to stick to organic foods for the most part, then you need to know about Cascadian Farm. This brand produces a large line of organic cereals in tons of different flavors, ranging from the crunchy, textured cereals that can help you meet your daily fiber requirements to the fun, kid-friendly cereals that come in chocolatey and fruit flavors.

Entering Korai Kitchen in Jersey City for its weekly Dawat dinner series feels like entering owner and chef Nur-E Gulshan Rahman and daughter Nur-E Farhana Rahman's home. "Dawat" is the Bengali word for "invitation," and people are invited to partake in the family's only dine-in service, a three-hour BYOB meal full of homestyle, halal, Bangladeshi food by way of Dhaka for $95. "This is my mom's interpretation of Bangladeshi food," Nur-E Farhana explains during the meal.

The vibrant flavors of Mexico City will take center stage in Las Vegas with the grand opening of Cantina Contramar. Developed by the internationally acclaimed Chef Gabriela Cámara, this new venture at the luxurious Fontainebleau Las Vegas promises to redefine the dining experience on the Las Vegas Strip. With a focus on authentic Mexican cuisine, stellar hospitality, and stunning design, Cantina Contramar is set to become a premier destination for food lovers and hospitality professionals alike.

As we enter February, the focus on heart health intensifies, especially during American Heart Month. With heart disease being the leading cause of death in the United States, affecting nearly 680,000 lives annually, it's crucial for food and beverage professionals to prioritize heart-healthy options in their offerings. One brand stepping up to the plate is Boar's Head Brand®, renowned for its quality delicatessen products.

The guide's criteria is supposedly top secret, but seasoned chefs will tell you there's a winning formula (and less-recognized chefs might argue that the recipe is set up for failure). While the UK and Ireland has a substantial 174 one-star restaurants across its shores, the coveted three-Michelin-star rating remains as elusive as ever: just 10 restaurants in the region belong to the club. With the advent of each annual guide, the restaurant world looks on in anticipation, waiting to find out if said club has any new members. At the 2026 ceremony, held on February 9 in Dublin, no new restaurants made the cut.

These candied nuts have become one of the cornerstones. You can make them with whatever nuts you have on hand, they keep beautifully for over a week, and they're an easy win as part of a larger snack-y spread. They also bridge the sweet-savory gap wonderfully and I've been serving them with a range of spreads, flatbread, and other bite-sized sweet treats.

One thing I've learned is that LA likes a big à la carte menu,

Wendy's just dropped two comfort food menu items, and as the bone-chilling winter persists, they couldn't have arrived at a better time. The Chicken Tenders Ranch Wrap and Cheesy Bacon Cheeseburger are offered for a limited time and take inspiration from existing fan-favorite menu items. "Tendys" hit menus at Wendy's in fall 2025, along with six new dipping sauces, including Creamy Ranch sauce.
