You are hereHome / Guy Food / What to Eat We're not certain exactly when the humble burger stopped being defined as just a greasy stack of beef and cheese—or, as Los Angeles superchef Roy Choi calls it, “the head of the snake,” the snake being our historically awful American diet.But we’re glad as hell it happened and that the better-burger trend is spreading: Colorado’s Larkburger chain turns out sustainably sourced tuna burgers; fresh-meat mecca Umami Burger uses black beans, turkey, and ahi tuna; Choi and partner Daniel Patterson just opened L.A.’s Locol, with its insanely delicious, wildly inventive veggie version; even Carl’s Jr., which gave the world the Tex-Mex Bacon Thickburger, now offers a low-cal turkey option.So, mid-revolution, we sought out some of America’s best chefs to help us assemble the ultimate at-home burgers, each with fresh ingredients, low-fat protein, and a healthier bun. (Whether you add fries is up to you.)Recipe: Vegan Quinoa Kale Superfood Burger >>>

Although the quality of Yummy House’s everyday food is the new restaurant’s biggest draw, the dim sum service has also generated a buzz. Dim sum is classic small-plate dining at its finest, featuring an extensive menu that focuses on individual portions of a wide array of foods, many of which are well outside the usual Chinese restaurant repertoire. At Yummy, that means fried chicken feet, pork buns, shrimp dumplings, barbecued duck, steamed Chinese broccoli and much more, all sized perfectly for sharing and at prices that encourage you to fill your table with the tiny plates. On weekends, however, you may be encouraged to fill your table more from fear of hunger. Yummy House is busy, and never more so than on Saturday and Sunday, when the restaurant’s dim sum service moves from a list of items on a slip of paper to wheeled carts that wend their way through the dining room.

One is stacked with plates topped by gleaming metal lids, which the server whisks off with a flourish to let you choose your favorites. The other has glass doors that allow you to peek at sundry baked goods, some filled with meat, others coated in honey and sesame seeds. Problem is, the carts leave the kitchen less frequently than you’d hope. And when one does, all eyes follow it, wondering which way it will turn, estimating how long the wait before their table gets a chance to choose. Sometimes, it can take a while. So when it does finally arrive, you stock up, loading your table with everything that looks worth a try. And with most plates under $4, it’s a relatively safe strategy. Brave the delays and your envy of tables earlier in the delivery cycle and you’ll be rewarded. Yummy’s steamed pork buns are ethereal, the airy dough melting in your mouth as you hit the sweet and salty barbecued pork tucked into the center. Shrimp stuffed inside a gooey shell are more elegant, the damp dumplings infused with distilled shrimp essence.

Balls of steamed sticky rice come wrapped in bamboo leaves, the white grains speckled with bits of barbecued meat. Seaweed salad features a burst of brine, salt and sesame oil, while steamed Chinese broccoli comes doused in rich oyster sauce. And if you find anything with XO sauce – one of Yummy’s specialties – grab the plate, especially if it’s the tender rice noodles made in-house.Vacuum Cleaner Bags Dubai You may have trouble finding options if you are a vegetarian, since Yummy uses meat as a seasoning in most of its dishes, but decadent egg tarts and deep-fried taro cakes will sustain you, along with the occasional rice roll studded with vegetables instead of pork.House & Lot For Sale In Roxas City There are also a few sweets, like bean cakes flavored with coconut, or buns doused in sesame and honey, but the savory dishes are the stars.Dressing Table For Sale Birmingham

This year we are plunging into a study of Early American History and planning to take full advantage of the plethora of local historical sites. And that is why Camille and I got up early on a Saturday morning; packed the car with sunscreen, water bottles, a pile of audio books; made two quick pit stops to get freshly made doughnuts and traveling necessities (Twizzlers and Doritos); and hit the road for Historic St. Mary's City. We were hoping to make it in time to participate in their Native American Discovery Day. And as we were making the nearly two hour drive there I found myself hoping that it would be worth the drive.

As soon as we arrived, it was clear to see that it was well worth the drive. One of the highlights of the day was watching the Tayac Territory Singers and Dancers, members of the Piscataway Indian Nation, led by Mark Tayac son of the current hereditary chief, Chief Billy Tayac. It was hard not to be entranced by their beautiful outfits and their voices singing in Algonquin Piscataway while drumming and dancing. The Piscataway were one of the most populous and powerful tribes in the Chesapeake Bay region north of the Potomac. It was an honor to see them sharing their history and culture today.
