When the birds were reintroduced to New England after a long absence, they chose to live in cities instead of the forests they once called home.

Food-Inspired Holiday Cards (Pack of 6)

Happy hollandaise.

The Bread Breakers are happily gearing up for Thanksgiving and the ensuing holidays, but we wanted to look ahead to the time of the year when many people decide it’s still worth the effort and expense to send real mail! By USPS! And isn’t it nice to open your mailbox and see a pretty envelope in there among the credit card offers and insurance companies and circulars?

Anthony Ewing, the scribe behind EthnicNJ, knows Jersey's international food scene better than anyone.

Saveur declared New Jersey “the most edible state.” Melanie grew up in Jersey, and I grew up in a region I like to call Pennsyljersey, given the fact that I could cross the Delaware River and get into Trenton in about ten minutes. The foods Jersey has to offer--from slam-dunk pizza and seafood to succulent Indian food and more--are varied and delicious. And I’m a big fan of this guy for cataloging a ton of them.

This Is the Difference Between Foodies & Eaties

There was a time when you were rightfully mocked as weird for documenting your food

“The eatie does have the ability to discern what they want to eat, which seems obvious but is a higher level of thinking than most foodies give them credit for. The eatie can decide if food has gone bad, or will probably taste bad, and often makes judgment based on that criteria. Does it look old? Will not eat. Does it look and smell like it will have a taste that the eatie does not personally enjoy? Will not eat. The biggest thing that the foodie doesn’t recognize about the eatie is that the eatie is not a sheltered simpleton who refuses to acknowledge the finer parts of life. The eatie can enjoy a great meal just as easily as the foodie can. The biggest difference is that the eatie may not tell anyone about it.”

The summer of low-alcohol drinks

Veggie burgers are having a moment, and having had more than a few in our time, NYC-based chef Bill Telepan’s crisp-crusted mushroom extravaganza is heads and tails above most we’ve tasted. Topped with sloppy Gruyère and crispy onions, slathered in pickled maitake aioli, and loaded onto a brioche bun, this burger can convince even the most hardcore carnivores to take a night off.
