Most pizza stones are made with a high-grade cordierite material, which allows them to tolerate the heat of your grill or outdoor pizza oven, which was one of the best investments I ever made.
(Screenshot via @GovernorVA on X) Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger (D) is taking her own turn being roasted after she inexplicably shared a disastrous photograph of her operating a grill for what appeared to be the first time. On Thursday evening, Spanberger shared a photo of herself, tongs in hand, with a massacred pile of unrecognizable meat strewn across a grill in front of her. Order up! she captioned it.
Tasting Table talked to George Madosky, sous chef at a.kitchen+bar D.C., about how he cleans a fresh cob of corn. "We use a clean, dry kitchen towel and work with separate bowls so the cleaned corn stays away from any stray silk," Madosky says. "This method is gentle, effective, and avoids adding unnecessary moisture, which can make silk cling and spread."
When it comes to grilling, a good marinade can make all the difference. Tossing your meat straight onto the grate means that all of the liquids drip off, and it's not the easiest place to set the skillet, so whipping up a sauce to accompany the protein isn't a simple task. For grilled foods, the best practice is to make sure that your meats are flavored from the inside out.
"Let's say we have shallots in the rum butter," the chef explains. "We chop that down, and then we deglaze the pan with rum. We deglaze that, then we let that cool, and mix it with butter." When using your rum butter on a tomahawk steak, you could also add a little marrow to it as well. Then, grill the tomahawk and let it rest.
As one of the non-New York City editors lucky enough to have ample outdoor space, I've gotten to know a lot of grilling equipment intimately over the last several years. And one thing I've found to be true is that, for the most part, you get what you pay for. A pricier grill usually means better parts, more durability, and, in the long run, is a smarter buy.
If you have been in the Midwest, Southern states, or along the West Coast of the U.S., you may have dined at Logan's Roadhouse at some point since the 1990s, when the chain first opened. And if you've also dined at Texas Roadhouse, Outback Steakhouse, or any other popular steakhouse chain in the country, you may have noticed one thing about Logan's Roadhouse's juicy steaks, and that's they taste smokier than the competition. You're not imagining the flavor difference at all, since every single one of Logan's Roadhouse's steaks are grilled "over an open flame with real mesquite wood," according to the chain's website.
The sheer number of delicious meats and preparations stands head and shoulders above even a typical steakhouse. From juicy and flavorful picanha cut from top sirloin to smoky linguiça sausage to pineapple grilled with brown sugar and cinnamon, there's something to appeal to everyone on the menu. But don't sleep on the lamb picanha, also called picanha de cordeiro. Even if lamb isn't your usual steakhouse order, this version of the Brazilian classic is a flavor bomb that needs to be experienced.
Freeman has a pretty simple tip that we had never really considered for cauliflower, telling us an essential step is "a good soak beforehand." Like wet brining a turkey, letting cauliflower soak in liquid means it absorbs plenty of moisture, so the higher temperatures and longer cooking times that would normally dry out cauliflower instead leave it meaty and tender. And this is important because Freeman loves to cook cauliflower on the high heat of the grill. "I'd say just a little bit of oil, fresh on a grill, open fire is a great way to do it," she recommends.
