With Kelp, a First Nations Fisher Builds Community on the Clayoquot Sound

Image
Stevie Dennis hauls kelp onto his boat. In pivoting away from overfished species towards kelp, Naas Foods co-founder Stevie Dennis is charting a course towards environmental and economic sustainability “The love for the water started early,” Stevie Dennis says as he pulls his boat away from the Tofino harbor. Growing up in the Ahousaht First Nations community of Clayoquot Sound along the west coast of Vancouver Island, Dennis’s earliest memories all took place on the water. Raised by a family of fishers, he joined his parents on the boat every chance he could get. “Instead of sitting on my dad’s lap learning to drive a car, I was learning how to drive a boat.” Dennis would watch his parents catch fish and either cook it on the spot or preserve it by drying, smoking, and jarring it. Whether at celebratory potlatches with as many as 1,000 people from surrounding First Nations communities or simply for dinner at home with his family, meals revolved around what was most accessible.

Gay Bars Aren’t Disappearing; They’re Changing

Image
Club Q in Colorado Springs. | Photos by Greggor Mattson In ‘Who Needs Gay Bars?,’ Greggor Mattson explores the past, current, and future of America’s queer spaces There was a moment reading Greggor Mattson’s book, Who Needs Gay Bars? , where I found myself becoming incredibly defensive. One of the 130 gay bar owners he interviewed is bemoaning how his customers are no longer content to hang with friends and converse over a few drinks. Gay bar patrons want entertainment, he says — drag shows, TV watch parties, activities. But that’s not what I want! , I thought. I want a relaxed night with friends, with good cocktails and the knowledge that my partner and I will feel accepted. I don’t need to be entertained , I mentally yelled at the bar owner. These differences are sort of the point of Mattson’s book, a chronicle of gay bars in 39 states across the country and throughout American history. “There is no one answer to the question ‘Who needs gay bars?’ because there is no one ‘who,’ ...

The Edible Martini Is Here

Image
Lille Allen/Eater After a resurgence behind the bar, martini ingredients are starting to show up in recipes for salad, babka, and more As a growing number of restaurants and diners lean into nostalgic, luxurious experiences , martinis — which the Guardian once called “ retro hedonism in a glass ” — have also found themselves at the center of a hot cultural moment . Now, it seems our recent martini madness is moving out of the glass and onto the dinner plate. The first martini-inspired food recipe that caught my attention was Emily Ziemski’s dirty martini salad dressing , published on Food52 in March. It made perfect sense: I like my (gin) martinis crisp, salty, and olivey, which is also how I like my salads . A few weeks later, via a paywalled Substack post, came a martini babka from recipe developer Kate Ray involving twists of orange marmalade and green olive tapenade. More recently, a dirty martini pasta has been popping on my TikTok feed thanks to Emily Eggers, the recipe...

With His New Show, Masaharu Morimoto Wants to Break the Rules of the Sushi Bar

Masaharu Morimoto on Morimoto’s Sushi Master | Hopper Stone / Roku Channel After decades as a cooking show contestant, on “Morimoto’s Sushi Master” the chef finds himself in the judge’s seat There are few chefs who know more about cooking in front of a television audience than Masaharu Morimoto. Since the 90s, the chef has been a fixture of food competition TV in both the United States and Japan, appearing in Iron Chef for more than 13 seasons in the States alone. Now, he’s officially on the other side of the judge’s table with his new show, Morimoto’s Sushi Master, the first cooking competition series totally focused on sushi. Across the Roku Channel series’s six episodes, eight chefs from all over the country compete in a series of challenges that test their ability to butcher whole fish, assemble creative flavor profiles inspired by Japanese cuisine, and, of course, prepare excellent sushi. The series is set up much like any other competition cooking show, with the chefs set ...

The Rise of the Luxury Picnic

Image
Marylu Herrera Goodbye, sandwiches and gingham blankets. Hello, macaron towers and string quartets.  The image of a picnic has remained relatively unchanged for decades: a gingham blanket here, a basket of snacks there, maybe spread out across a grassy knoll if you’re lucky. Some advanced picnickers may upgrade with folding chairs or fancy cutlery, but either way, simplicity is the point: Just pack a sandwich and get outside. A picnic may not count as roughing it, but it’s traditionally been one of the easiest and most low-key ways to enjoy the pleasures of the great outdoors. Until now. The past few years have seen the rise of a luxury picnic industry, mostly in response to the pandemic. They are designed to not only take the effort out of picnicking, but to transform the very concept of the picnic itself. Where once there may have been a soft blanket on bare grass, now there is a boho-chic tent festooned with plush rugs and throw pillows. Instead of relying on trees and bir...

‘I’m in Love With Joey Chestnut’

Joey Chestnut. | Lille Allen/Eater In “Raw Dog,” Jamie Loftus takes a trip to Coney Island’s annual Fourth of July hot dog eating competition and comes to understand the spellbinding appeal of Joey Chestnut Raw Dog is on sale May 23 . The hot dog, if you think about it even a little bit, is a food ripe for further exploration. Few among us are quite sure what it contains. But despite its esoteric nature , it has wide appeal, so much so that there’s a huge market for hot dogs for vegetarians (and for those of us who are turned off by the mystery of the standard meat tubes). Hot dogs are inextricably linked with the best parts of summer. They’re the stuff of suburban backyards as much as city street corners. The hot dog, more than most other foods, is deeply American. This is what compels comedian Jamie Loftus in Raw Dog: The Naked Truth About Hot Dogs . During a nationwide road trip in the midst of the strange, COVID-marred summer of 2021, she consumes an unfathomable nu...

The 38 Essential Vancouver Restaurants

The view from Vancouver’s Chinatown. | Joe McNally/Getty Images House-made pasta at a Michelin-starred Japanese Italian stunner, an affordable Thai tasting menu with local twists, tons of fresh seafood from nearby waters, and more of the best meals in Vancouver Ringed by soaring mountains, with gleaming glass skyscrapers reflected in the still waters that surround its downtown core, Vancouver is easy to love. And as the thriving urban hub of British Columbia and a proudly immigrant city, there are plenty of people around to love it. Over 40 percent of Vancouver’s residents were born outside of Canada, and the city is home to robust Chinese, Indian, and Filipino communities, to name a few. The city’s most beloved and vital dining experiences reflect this blend. Chefs from around the world apply culinary traditions to exceptional produce from the Lower Mainland and superb seafood from the cold, clean waters around Vancouver Island, creating a unique style of West Coast cuisine.
