What’s Cookin?

Grub

Restaurants:
- Finally! It’s safe to eat romaine lettuce again! I was surprised at how hard it was to avoid romaine during those times I went to a restaurant for a salad. Glad I don’t have to think about it anymore!
- The Truffleist, known for their truffle cheesesteaks, now makes the most insane $32 burger. It’s made with two patties, melted mozzarella, caramelized onions, cheese sauce, truffle mayo, fresh shaved truffles, and a ball of fried burrata on a prosciutto bun

Cooking:
- It’s slightly disturbing that there’s a ranking of fancy butters (who knew there were this many?), but I’m not at all opposed to it. New goal: try a new brand of fancy butter and smear it ALL over some fancy bread.
- Spring recipes! These zucchini pork “dumplings” are really healthy. This Spring Green Pasta Salad with Crispy Bacon, not so much. I want to make both of them ASAP.

I usually don’t think I’m smart enough to read The New Yorker…and here’s a 9-year-old who’s killin it in the caption game for their iconic cartoons.
I love this reimagining of iconic male literary characters as female.
This proves why print shouldn’t die.
This infographic breaks down what it takes to write an award-winning book…perhaps I should take some of these trends to heart…

I love that travel agents (of sorts) are becoming popular again. This time around, the process is app-based (vs. brick and mortar) and focused on local experiences. I’ve been following Noken for a while and am now very intrigued by ViaHero. Hopefully I’ll get to use one of these companies sometime soon for a vacay.
This article/interview about the Amish and their relationship with technology is super interesting.
