We’ve rejected all sorts of delicious food for the cover of this magazine based solely on appearance. Sometimes a burger won’t sit up straight. Sometimes a cake looks a little too messy. Sometimes we try to make something look decent and eventually give up because it’s oddly shaped and crusty and never going to cut it as a cover model. (I’m talking about you, fried chicken.) But once in a while we discard a cover photo that looks and tastes great—and for some reason, this keeps happening to lobster. In our first attempt at a lobster cover, for the June 2012 issue, we photographed a lobster salad in lettuce cups. It was colorful, fresh and unexpected…but when we polled potential magazine buyers, lobster salad lost out to beef sliders. Last…

CATCH AND RELEASE It’s rare enough to catch a 20-pound lobster—let alone two in the same trap—so when a giant male and female were caught and shipped to the Old Homestead Steakhouse in New York City earlier this year, the owners declared the crustaceans a couple. In a true act of love, they returned the lobsters to the Atlantic. Cutting Corners If you want to reduce your sweets intake, offer to slice the cake at the next party: People who serve themselves are more likely to eat a smaller portion than those who let someone else do the cutting.

BASIC VINAIGRETTE MAKES: 1 cup ¼ cup vinegar 1 tablespoon dijon mustard Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper ¾ cup extra-virgin olive oil (or ½ cup olive oil and ¼ cup vegetable oil) VINEGAR or other acids give vinaigrette its punch. You can use any vinegar other than distilled white (it can be harsh), or citrus juice. Use 1 part acid to 3 parts oil. MUSTARD acts as an emulsifier. It’s not essential, but it helps the vinaigrette stay creamy. Mayonnaise and egg yolk are also good emulsifiers. SALT AND PEPPER are essential for a basic vinaigrette. You can also add shallots, garlic, honey, herbs or spices. MILD OILS like olive and vegetable oil are best for vinaigrettes. Use stronger oils like walnut or sesame in combination with a mild…

We all have our favorite comfort food and for me, it’s rum raisin ice cream. There is something about the rich vanilla custard with sweet raisins and a hint of rum that calls my name every time. I have always loved Häagen-Dazs, but when I discovered David Lebovitz’s homemade rum raisin ice cream, from his book The Perfect Scoop, I was a goner. The base is thick and creamy, and the raisins are infused with dark rum and orange zest before they’re added, which makes them so juicy and full of flavor. And because the rum lowers the freezing temperature of the ice cream, it’s soft enough to scoop right out of the freezer. On the other hand, this makes it difficult not to eat the whole thing before dinner!…

Lightly brush the grill grates with vegetable oil, then grill the patties indentation-side up until marked on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook until marked and slightly…

I t’s known as Music City, but these days, Nashville is just as well known for its food. Ambitious young chefs are flocking here, just as country singers have for decades, and 90 new restaurants opened just last year. Of course, you can’t come to Nashville without catching a concert, and this summer is the perfect time: Five of the city’s country music institutions— including Ryman Auditorium and the Bluebird Cafe—are celebrating major anniversaries with special performances and events. Plus, the CMA Music Festival kicks off June 8. Here’s a quick guide to the best bites and sights.…

Damaris, I would really like recipes for revamped pimiento cheese, or a spicy version of fried green tomatoes. Do you have any ideas? Amy Stevens via Instagram I love substituting half of the cheddar in my pimiento cheese recipe (foodnetwork.com/ pimientocheese) with smoked gouda or blue cheese, but you could also change the roasted red peppers to green chiles for a spicy version. For a twist on fried green tomatoes, try using pickled green tomatoes. I use Doux South when I haven’t canned my own. You can find them at douxsouth.com. —Damaris Phillips Katie, what is the best way to prepare kale for “kale newbies”? My family recently tried it pan-fried with salt and pepper.

When Margaret and Geoffrey Zakarian were approached by the Montage Beverly Hills hotel about opening a restaurant, they jumped at the chance to take Geoffrey’s cuisine cross-country. The Cooks vs. Cons host has five other eateries on the East Coast, including The Lambs Club in New York City and Point Royal in Hollywood, FL, and he and Margaret (president of Zakarian Hospitality) knew exactly how they wanted their place in Beverly Hills to feel: dapper, sophisticated and comfortable. “It’s a home away from home,” Margaret says, “but a little unexpected and a little more whimsical.” They even named the spot after their son, George, and hung his artwork on the walls along with pieces by his big sisters, Madeline and Anna. Working with husband-and-wife interior designers John and Christine Gachot of…

SPECIAL Beach Eats SECTION When incoming freshmen arrive at the University of Maryland later this summer, every one of them will receive an unusual school supply as part of their orientation: a can of Old Bay Seasoning. Throughout Maryland, a tin of Old Bay is as common as salt and pepper shakers on dinner tables, in homes and in restaurants, including all of Bobby Flay’s burger joints. Ever since a Jewish spice merchant created the mystery blend in 1939, Old Bay has made its way into seafood shacks and onto boardwalks across the country, becoming the essential spice of summer. Here’s a closer look at the enduring favorite. Can You Old Bay It? Our test kitchen chefs set out to see if Old Bay really does go with everything, as…

FOILED! We try to avoid creating recipes that call for a grill and a stove. To cook both chicken and green beans outdoors for the dinner on page 83, we made a makeshift tray to hold the beans: We lined half the grill with foil, then just folded up the edges. You could use a grill basket, but the foil tray is better for small foods—and it doesn’t require cleanup! JUICY TIDBIT When I worked in restaurant kitchens, I learned not to waste anything—I even kept a bowl at my station for pan juices after I cooked a piece of meat. These juices are concentrated with flavor and they’re great for making a quick sauce: Just stir in a little dijon mustard, butter or heavy cream. Or add your pan…

Curtis Stone started his culinary career in a butcher shop, but he never expected to own one. Then last year he opened Gwen, a Los Angeles restaurant with an adjacent specialty butcher shop. “Sometimes I ask myself, why did I do this?” he says with a laugh. “The butcher shop is such a different beast from the restaurant. There are more things to get right—and more things you can get wrong.” It’s pretty safe to say that Curtis got things right: He has created a meat lover’s dream shop, filled with racks of lamb, dry-aged steaks, standing rib roasts, pork chops…just stepping inside makes you want to start grilling. We asked the chef for a few summer recipes inspired by the shop and his menu at Gwen. SPICE-RUBBED LAMB RACK…
