The Crispy Potato Corn Dogs contain bonus ingredients folded into the batter, which means each bite is speckled with cubed potatoes. This is the kind of snack that delivers both flavor and texture.

For pork lover, there's nothing quite as irresistible as the salty, savory pull of Virginia country ham. Whether it's to elevate mouth-watering ham sandwich, for pea and ham soup, or a good old-fashioned honey-glazed roast recipe, there's no shortage of quality cured pork in the Old Dominion State.

Kettle-cooked potato chips are usually sliced thicker and cooked in smaller batches for longer amounts of time. They get cooked in kettles that are filled with oil, and the temperature of the fat gets adjusted throughout the cooking process.

Mount Airy isn't trying to be everywhere else-and that's exactly why it stands out. It offers a true sense of place, rooted in tradition but evolving with purpose, where the pace slows down just enough to remind you what travel is supposed to feel like.

(Family Features) In the midst of peak homegating season, with football championships taking center stage and action heating up on the hardwood, a good game day host knows you can never have too many delicious snacks on hand. Kicking off the madness can be as easy as these Crispy Potato Skins, a hearty watch party classic that keeps fans fueled and engaged with the game on the big screen.

There's plenty to experience in Denver, Colorado. You can take in spectacular mountain vistas while sipping cocktails on a RiNo rooftop, or headbang at one of the city's many music venues. You could visit one of the phenomenal museums, explore the stunning Union Station, or even soak in a hot tub filled with hops, herbs, and barley at Oakwell Beer Spa. Plus, if you're a foodie, you're in for a treat.

At the North Carolina Sweetpotato Commission's Annual Meeting, Dr. Craig Yencho was presented with the prestigious 2026 Distinguished Service Award: a recognition that celebrates his extraordinary contributions to the state's sweetpotato growers and the broader agricultural community. It's a well-deserved honor for a scientist whose work has generated billions in revenue and transformed how we grow, harvest, and enjoy this beloved root vegetable.

The infamous Sea Islands of America cluster along the Atlantic coastline from Georgia through South Carolina, each cradling a history and culture unique to itself. From cultural distinctions to Gullah food traditions, storytelling folk art, and sweetgrass basket weavers, these barrier islands couldn't be more distinctly defined. But they do have one enduring commonality: A wealth of seafood that defines the way locals and visitors eat.

If you love your salty snacks (and who doesn't?), we have a game-changing idea. Potato chips are irresistibly delicious, but we all know the unfortunate truth that they're a far cry from healthy, with their sodium and unhealthy fats. But you don't have to give up the experience of enjoying a crunchy, savory snack; in fact, you can even upgrade that experience with chickpeas.

There is perhaps no food more humble than a baked potato. But driven by creators like the U.K.'s SpudBros - 4.9 million followers and counting - POV footage of scored, fluffed, and amply topped spuds are all over TikTok. Baked potatoes are just as convenient as Sweetgreen or Chipotle, and should be as prevalent, but only recently has New York caught up to the glories of the quick-potato lunch.

Sonic seasoning is the phenomenon where specific musical elements: tempo, pitch, instrumentation: can influence how our brains perceive the five basic tastes: sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami. High-pitched tones can make dishes taste sweeter. Bass-heavy tracks can enhance umami and savory notes. Even the crunch sounds we hear while eating can make food seem fresher and crispier. It's not just about mood: it's about fundamentally altering taste perception through sound.

Founded in North Carolina in 1977, Bojangles has built a loyal following across Southern states, where its menu and branding are closely tied to regional favorites and a popular breakfast menu. It now operates over 800 locations in 24 states, as well as in Honduras. Most of the chain's locations are clustered in the Carolinas - North Carolina has 350 restaurants, while South Carolina has 154. There are a few restaurants in more northern states: New Jersey has two locations, as does Pennsylvania.

Filling my cheeks with crisp puffed shells packed with spiced potatoes, chutneys, and tamarind water is a core Delhiite memory, and one that comes rushing back at Gokul Sweets in Decatur. The no-frills, counter-service spot is a longtime vegetarian Indian street food staple, complete with a bakery case stacked with dozens of sweets. North Indian treats abound, but the massive South Indian dosa is the envy of the canteen.

The donut is a uniquely American food. You may find glorious bundles of fried dough that originated elsewhere in the world, especially in the Netherlands; after all, the Dutch are believed to have first introduced donuts to America (though they called them something akin to oily cakes-much less appetizing). But those lookalikes are mostly fritters or beignets, which have a distinctively different aura.

In New England, the official dipping buddy for creamy clam chowder is called a common cracker, and it's different than any other cracker in almost every possible way. For starters, it's larger (about the size of a Ritz cracker), rougher, and looks unmistakably old-school. The common cracker's flavor is also deliberately restrained. Wheaty, crunchy, and very hearty - these unleavened crackers swell slightly in creamy New England clam chowder. This makes them take on a dumpling-like quality, and it's not accidental.
