The premise of this column is to teach you how to make a delicious single-serving dinner. Consider these tender, herby chicken meatballs a great exception. The beauty of these meatballs, which are cooked in a dead-simple tomato sauce, is that they can be repurposed into a few different meals. I like to serve some over…
“Meet Saucy” implores the press release, at once an unnerving invitation and a pretty good pun. On Monday, December 23, KFC is launching a new restaurant concept in Orlando, Florida, centered around the chicken tender and everything in which you can dip it. “At the heart of Saucy’s menu is its 11 sauces, which customers…
Looking back at the year in DrinkTok, compared to last, you might find that the minds behind Big Trending Drink are losing a little steam. Last year’s viral cocktails seemed to spring up out of thin air (like the Parm Espresso Martini, though we cracked that case). But now that the platform is weathered, social-strategized…
Governor Kathy Hochul is signing the Restaurant Reservation Anti-Piracy Act into law, as of tomorrow December 19. “We’re putting an end to the predatory black market for restaurant reservations — protecting consumers and businesses, and giving everyone a chance to get a seat at the dinner table,” Hochul said in a press release from her…
I love big, non-candle-shaped candles as much as the next person — but, as a dirty martini-lover, I especially love it when they’re shaped like fist-sized olives. Nata Concept Store has taken our cultural obsession with aperitivo snacks of late (is tinned fish and cheese still “girl dinner”?) to new heights with its very White…

Because one Musk in Texas wasn’t enough, Austin will soon have a restaurant owned by tech scion Elon Musk’s more culinary-minded younger brother, Kimbal. The Kitchen, part of a chain of restaurants with the same inventive name, will host a grand opening on Thursday, November 14, on the ground floor of downtown’s Sixth and Guadalupe…
“Since taking over the menu, there are certain products I knew I wanted to use,” says Bradyn Kawack, now the executive chef of Chicago’s Atelier. After the restaurant was awarded a Michelin Star in 2023, Kawack was promoted to executive chef, overseeing the restaurant’s $170 tasting menu. For Kawack, creativity involves “finding the product first,”…
I first tried the Fullstar vegetable chopper at a friend’s dinner party. I arrived early, fully expecting to become a teary-eyed onion-chopping machine — a fair price to pay, for some homemade curry — when she pulled out the chopping workhorse; it diced onions safely but without mercy (and without inducing tears), all while keeping…
You’d be forgiven if the very thought of coconut rum was… not a good one. For much of the modern cocktail revival, coconut rum has been more or less filed away as a product of youthful misguidance. Recent years, however, have seen the flavored spirits category shed its gimmicky reputation and become a serious pursuit…
