Super Hot Test Field Yields New Info, Fresh Pods
There’s some hot stuff going on in southern New Mexico. This year, an acre of land near Las Cruces was planted with several varieties of super hot chiles. Could this spell hope for a struggling New Mexico chile industry? Marlin Bensinger and Dave DeWitt think so. There are even some fresh super hot chiles available for sale!
Muchos Macho Nachos
Ah, nachos…you gotta love ’em, if only for the absurdity they inspire. The Ninety-nine Restaurant in Bellerica, Massachusetts just set a world record for a mess of nachos weighing 3,999 pounds. Not everything’s bigger in Texas.
Matteo’s Wacko Gelatos
It was just another normal day at the Gelateria Matteo. Because it was early, there were very few customers, giving the gelato master Matteo Napoli time to focus on the two gelatos he was making: fig and onion. Yes, you read that correctly.
Presto, It’s Pesto!
One of my favorite summer things is fresh pesto—spiced up, of course. And one of the main ingredients is basil, although cooks substitute spinach, Italian parsley, and cilantro for the basil on occasion.
Pungent Pizza on the Grill
In this recipe we attempt to recreate the wonderful thin-crust pizza from wood-fired ovens in your very own backyard. And we spice it up with some chile!
