Along with each chicken assemblage comes a quartet of sauces: avocado crema, honey Dijon, gochujang barbecue, and Parmesan peppercorn.

Chef Tony Inn’s version of grilled pork jowl with pickled radish. Even if most Americans recognize that tomatoes are, botanically speaking, fruit, they don’t treat them as such. This strikes chef Tony Inn as strange. “Why are tomatoes in salad — like, what is that?” he asks. In Taiwan, where Inn was born and lived until the age of 9, the sweet summer produce is found in ice-cream sundaes, tanghulu sticks, even cakes.

The Great Pouchification of American Food

Oct 22, 2024 | tastecooking.com | Cathy Erway

Ibraheem Basir knew he had to do something about the state of his weeknight dinner routine. He was earning a six-figure salary working in marketing for an organic packaged foods company in Berkeley, California, but when he came home late at night, all he wanted to eat was takeout—and not salad bowls but the kind of foods he’d grown up with in Brooklyn, like fried chicken and biscuits or empanadas.
