The Best Way to Use Random Summer Vegetables Is With Korean Pancake Mix

Image
Lille Allen/Eater A savory pancake is the ideal vessel for any and all seasonal vegetables I’ve never been a sweet pancake person. I always want just a few bites, and thus feel blessed by the “ pancakes for the table ” movement. Savory pancakes, however, are a different story. I can’t get enough of flaky cong you bing; mushroom-filled crepes; egg-topped Dutch babies; Kewpie mayo-drizzled okonomiyaki; and crispy jeon (my appreciation extends to pancake-adjacent foods, like fritters, pakora, and ukoy). A savory pancake is the ideal vessel for random vegetables, and so I’m especially drawn to this way of eating in the summer, when I let myself go wild at the farmers market. As exciting as the tote bag of sweet corn, shelling peas, garlic scapes, and wax beans seems on Sunday, there are always stragglers at the end of the week. The savory pancake will take any and all of these random vegetables. Ideally, it requires just one pan, one bowl, and some light chopping, making it as well-su...

Image
Celebrate National Daiquiri Day with an El Floridita Daiquiri made with Dos Maderas Aged Rum. The Daiquiri is often made with white rum however choosing rum with barrel-age character like Dos Maderas 5+3 adds pleasant complexity to this classic cocktail. “The Dos Maderas 5+3 is a complex rum that has flavor notes not only of sweetness but the flavors of influence from the sherry barrel aging bring about a nuttiness and dried fruit component that add great nuance to the Daiquiri. The addition of maraschino liqueur brings about an interesting twist of depth into the very classic cocktail. Enjoyed shaken and up, over crushed ice, or frozen, the Daiquiri is a classic vehicle to showcase the beauty of a well-constructed complex rum, and this cocktail does just that,” shares Diana Novak, national director Craft Spirits Education and Development for Palm Bay International.

Beyond Dining in the Dark: What It’s Actually Like to Eat Out When You’re Blind

Image
Restaurant menus can present an awkward challenge for blind people. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Listen to this article In 1999, the first “dining in the dark” restaurant opened in Zurich, Switzerland. Blindekuh , or the Blind Cow (the German name for the game of blind man’s bluff ), was wildly popular, and inspired dozens of similar ventures that opened in cities across Europe and around the world. At each of these restaurants (as well as at ubiquitous one-off dining in the dark fundraising events), diners follow a similar procedure: They’re asked to stash their phones and other light-emitting items into lockers, and then walk, conga line-style, into a pitch-black room, guided by a staff of blind and low-vision servers. The blind waitstaff helps the diners find their seats, and then serves them a series of mystery dishes, which the guests taste and guess at in total darkness. People’s experiences of these restaurants range from delight to terror. Journalists describe...
