I’d be remiss if I simply focused on imparting technical knowledge in these Kitchen 101 posts without talking about ingredients, particularly the biggest misconception about produce today: it is naturally available year-round.Chef Jason Quinn Talks Playground Restaurant, Daily Menus, and Pissing People Off
“There’s a million restaurants that will cater to you, and we don’t really like any of those places,” says Jason Quinn, ex-Food Network personality, ex-Lime Truck chef, and current Playground restaurateur. We’ve covered Chef Quinn in the past, we’ve covered his win on Food Network’s Great Food Truck Race, we brought to life his fiery responses to opinionated Yelp reviewers , we’ve even gawked and salivated at his restaurant’s delicious and adventurous menu . So why are people — us included — still talking about him? Because his take on food reminds us of a cross between Gordon Ramsay, Mario Batali and…well…that crazy ass 25-year-old Jason Quinn.
There’s no more insufferable supper companion than a food snob: You know, one of those folks who sit around and complain that the sauce is too bright and the roux too bitter, or that the onions should have been allowed to sweat rather than brown. But hey, there’s something to be said for the power of their palates, their ability to pick up cues and vocalize what they’re tasting from the muddle of flavors in the mouth. (Even if, as I sometimes suspect, they just think they can.) I’m not talking about “super tasters” — those few who physically have more taste buds than the rest of us — but the eaters and cooks who always seem to know just what it is they’re eating. How do they do it? And more importantly, other than spending $60,000 on a culinary degree, could I train myself to do it, too?

Wines and Beers, by the Slice
So allow me to suggest something else entirely: . Yes, Champagne. If it seems like overreaching to pair elegant Champagne with humble pizza, perhaps that’s because we underestimate pizza. First, we must get over thinking of pizza as just a fast food. Of course, too many pizzas are made of poor industrial ingredients, rushed in a sodden cardboard box to your door.
13 Cheeses Everyone Should Know
SLIDESHOW: 13 Cheeses Everyone Should Know [ Photographs: Jessica Leibowitz ] We're not cheese snobs, which you can probably tell from our Staff Picks list of favorite cheeses. We confessed to loving a couple classic mozzarellas, a burrata, and a melty American cheese amongst other such pedestrian choices. That said, there's a time and a place for everything, and even though we might prefer a nice milky creamy ball of mozz on a day to day basis, where would our lives be if we couldn't indulge in the occasional stinky cheese from a well-curated cheese plate?
Serious Eats: A Sandwich a Day
Challah is an excellent (if not traditional) choice for the Cuban, and I really liked it. The perfectly grilled challah was nice and crunchy, yet soft and yielding, unblemished by the Cap'n-Crunch-roof-of-mouth effect that a toasted and pressed sandwich sometimes presents. Roasted pork, ham, cheese, pickles, and "monkey mustard"—made with whole grain country Dijon, honey, bananas, pineapple, and banana peppers—all worked together to make one damn good sandwich. More

If the average person was told five years ago that she could nab a delicious and buttery lobster roll from a truck without getting food poisoning, she may have scoffed. Nowadays, chefs across the world are delivering some of the most scrumptious, affordable and delightfully fun food straight to the sidewalks — and social streams. Although food trucks existed well before the early 2000s, many sources pinpoint 2008 as the unofficial onset of the food truck phenomenon . Since then, food truck entrepreneurs and chefs alike have used social media to familiarize the world with previously obscure flavors like grits or peppadew.

Fortunately, this one should catch your attention in spite of itself. You really can’t go wrong when you stuff fresh, fiery jalapeños with ground beef and melty cheese, drench them in beer batter and fry them to golden-brown perfection. The homemade ranch is the icing on the cake. They’re big and gooey, which makes them a little tricky as a finger food.

Where they come from : Australia What it is : Two crunchy chocolate cookies separated by a milk chocolate cream filling and coated in a thick layer of milk chocolate. You can actually do something called the "Tim Tam Slam" with these, which involves biting off opposite corners, dipping one corner into a beverage and drinking the beverage through the cookie, turning the beverage chocolate flavored and the cookie into a soft and melty chocolate mouthgasm.
