As many of the week’s speakers made clear, the North American story is very often a story of immigrants—a story of leaving, and a story of coming home. “The food industry doesn’t exist without immigrants. In the back of every Michelin star restaurant is a bunch of people from the Caribbean, people from Mexico, people from all over the world,” Christopher Binns, a farmer and co-owner of Stush in the Bush, a “garden to table dining experience” in St. Ann, Jamaica, (number 49) said in a video presentation during a 50 Best Talks event on Wednesday. “It’s the backbone of…

I know a lot of my travel tips are on the beginner to moderate side but here’s one that I bet many expert travelers don’t know. I thought of it during Virtuoso Travel Week in Las Vegas last month when the organizers put us up at the Aria Hotel and Casino, one of my favorite Vegas hotels. I’ve been fortunate to stay there many times including with my late father. This tip isn’t just for Aria or even Las Vegas hotels. It works at any property that is massive, popular with groups and has multiple elevator banks. I got lucky…

Learn More › Power outages can spoil perishable food, render appliances worthless, and even lead to life-threatening situations in cold temperatures, but a propane generator can prevent all that. Unlike older gas-only backup generators, propane models offer the versatility of connecting to convenient 20-pound tanks or larger whole-house propane tanks. Because they typically use dual-fuel technology, modern portable propane generators also run on gasoline or diesel.  To put together a list of reliable propane generators to recommend, we…

There’s something special about a powder bath done right. Though often tiny, it’s one space in a home where guests pause and notice the details. And unlike other rooms where function often takes precedence, a powder bath is an opportunity to create an experience—a compact moment of calm where every material can shine. When we began planning our Zuma Beach House renovation, I knew our powder bath was really small. But I’m always excited by an opportunity to create something that feels special within a minimal footprint. My design philosophy is that size doesn’t determine impact—intention does. And in a…

For chef Nite Yun, a 2018 Eater Young Gun and the author of the just-released cookbook, My Cambodia, an ingredient as simple as corn can be transportive. “When we would go out to barbecues or have family gatherings, grilled corn with coconut milk was the highlight,” she says. Not only does this style of corn — bathed in a potion of coconut milk, sugar, green onion, and fish sauce — make Yun nostalgic, it also served as a stepping stone to better understanding her heritage.“When I went to Cambodia and had [the corn] in the motherland, that was so special,”…

From nail-biting quick-fire challenges to high-stakes elimination rounds like the show’s signature Restaurant Wars, the judges of Top Chef eat well during filming. (Well, most of the time. Lesson learned: serving ceviche on a 90 degree day isn’t the move.) But they’re not on set all day, every day during the seven-week production schedule. Although Top Chef previously filmed in another Carolina city—Charleston back in 2014—this is the first time the globe-trotting culinary reality competition has landed in Charlotte, North Carolina. And the arrival has energized the crew, including longtime judge and food writer Gail Simmons. “I’ve never been to…
