Edibles & Potables: Food halls, from Market at Malcolm Yards to Hietalahden Kauppahalli

In 2022 we booked an Airbnb in Minneapolis and took a few days off to see the Twins play the Tigers (twice), search for home plate from the team’s former ballpark as ensconced at Mall of America, explore the respective Twin Cities downtown districts (the other is St. Paul, of course), eat a lot, and […]

Edibles & Potables: “I got food, but I’m not a foodie” (the 2025 remix)

I don’t always repeat previous posts, but when I do, it generally occurs for one of two reasons: first, the essay was capably rendered, and/or second, the point of the original post is worth reinforcing. Both these conditions apply today. The following originally appeared at “Edibles & Potables” on July 19, 2020. To paraphrase Esquire’s […]

Edibles & Potables: Is there a right way to say “taco”?

During the past few weeks, tacos seem to be enjoying an inexplicable resurgence, even though they never really went away. I’ve been seeing the word “taco” everywhere on social media, and it started me thinking about first causes, although I must concede that chicken is not my personal favorite choice of taco filling. At the […]

Edibles & Potables: Recreating the gatefold grub from ZZ Top’s Tres Hombres

 (Originally posted on November 15, 2020, and lightly retouched.) Something was missing in 2016 when an Austin, Texas chef recreated the gate-fold meal from ZZ Top’s epochal 1973 album, Tres Hombres. I’ll get to this omission in a moment. Meanwhile, queue up the album on the device of your choice. Back in 1973, it was […]

Nowadays on Google, thoughtfully sifting through the options in search of something real amid the sheer weight of insulting dross has been relegated to the vapors, because AI gives you the summary right up front (whether it is accurate, or not). Customarily I push past AI and commence my merry daily regimen of zapping misinformation […]

Letters from Lelia’s Kitchen: “Cooking with Eggs” (and shakshuka lessons)

In our current print edition, Lelia Gentle recounts a shakshuka lesson offered by a helpful North African cab driver in New York City: “You must roast the peppers and tomatoes yourself. Don’t used the canned ones!” She offers two additional egg recipes: okonomiyaki (a Japanese cabbage pancake, similar to a frittata) and shirred eggs, a […]
