Jason Vincent, chef-owner of giant, is the first to admit that his restaurant was not firing on all cylinders coming out of the pandemic. “We were declining in sales, I wasn’t checking the food, the screws were coming loose,” he says. That changed this February, when the team started kicking around the idea of a test kitchen. On a rotating basis each night, the restaurant now adds four dishes, priced a bit lower, to its regular menu to showcase new things being tried out.

We stopped in on a couple different nights, and on each visit we found new favorite drinks. In today’s Cover Story, we catch up with beverage director Christian Favier to chat about the bar and some favorite drinks (you’re going to want the smoked olive martini!).

Chicken Parmesan is one of the tentpoles of Italian-American fare. While beloved in its classic form, its simplicity—a breaded and fried chicken cutlet topped with tomato sauce and gooey melted cheese—means that it’s rife for reinterpretation. Chefs around the country are swapping in shrimp, stuffing the sauce and cheese inside the chicken, and finding other ways to give this traditional dish a fresh take.

Welcome to the weekend! Have you ever had a kringle? If you live in Wisconsin, that answer is most likely yes, but the oblong Danish pastry, which features fillings ranging from almond to chocolate and beyond, can be had all across the country, thanks to the efforts of Racine’s O&H Danish Bakery, which offers national delivery.
