the burger shack above jake’s billiards (jake’s burgers?) makes straightforward deep-fried wings. it’s decent, and you can go shoot pool afterwards. i’d rather do that then sit around a table at hooters....

or vegetable oil, so the difference is going to be marginal. I personally prefer dark meat in general, but particularly in saucy dishes or stews where the meat is long-cooked (>30 min). Of course, if you are really holding down fat...

a try. The stuffed cabbage leaf was fine. The chicken was a skinless breast (yes, skinless in a fancy restaurant like this!) cooked sous vide and served naked and scary-pale-beige except for a few stripes of tasteless brown...

Tilapia would be good. Or try Quorn (a vegetarian fake meat) 'naked cutlets.' They are fake boneless chicken breasts. We use them for this very reason in exactly these types of dishes (like enchiladas, for example). I get them at...

are excellent. You have the option of getting them naked or dusted and they have a lot of interesting sauces. Just the right amount of sauce too. I’d take them over Duff’s. TJ’s also does this thing called a...

back to Cafe Hiro, thanking my lucky stars that it is here in my backyard. Sure, there are misses at Cafe Hiro, along with the hits. Their duck breast and the hamburger steak are the weakest and most disappointing dishes of the...

thick, not too thin, the right amount of tang and kick, nice thinly sliced hunks of chicken breast. My favorite appetizer so far is the curry dumplings. Forgive me if I get the names wrong, they’re called something else on...

You MUST get the wings "naked" (without breading). Then they are pretty good. The breaded ones are aweful.

I have been having a debate with a friend about whether we eat toned muscle or flab in other animals, like chickens and cows. I’m referring to general, popular cuts like breast and filet mignon. Would it be tastier for most...

're after it’s alright. I am not a big wing fan so I always get the naked tenders which are basically skewered pieces of grilled chicken breast.

My faves: QUORN NUGGETS QUORN TENDERS: fajitas, “chicken” salad, Pesto wraps with tomatoes, enchiladas, tortilla soup, white bean “chicken” chili QUORN NAKED CUTLETS: bread and season like a chicken breast or...

— that is, with the BBQ sauce on the side. IMO this is the way ribs should be served — e.g. naked. For me, ribs are not a popsicle stick for BBQ sauce. Served without having sauce slathered all over them, you can tell...

I pick up my never frozen turkey (Diestel brand) on Monday, and put it in the brining solution for 24 hours. Tuesday I take it out of the solution, rinse and pat dry, and leave it bare naked on the refrigerator shelf (with a pan...

, then right near McCormick is Naked Fish, which is probably a more interesting and fun bet. Most of the options in that area are pretty execrable. I don’t think there is a Korean BBQ anywhere near the T: I can only think...

-served tourteaux with a lobster gelee, lobster and vin jaune cream; a royale de foie gras, araignée de mer, fresh almonds; a very well roasted canette breast with peaches, foie gras, girolles, salsifis, and a cresson salad; a...
