“I never know entirely what my menu’s going to look like when I wake up. We change the menu every day–it’s a reflection of what’s coming out of our local waters and local farms.” Today Bon Appetit spends a day on the line with James London, chef and owner of Chubby Fish in Charleston, South Carolina. This dock-to-table restaurant serves some of the freshest seafood in the city and revolves its menu around whatever comes out of the waters and farms each day.
Bon Appétit joins Chef Ed Szymanski of Dame, an English seafood restaurant in the heart of NYC, to make their traditional battered fish and chips. Simplicity is best when it comes to making this classic British dish–fresh fish coated in airy batter, fluffy chips crisped to perfection, and then doused in vinegar with a sprinkle of lemon juice. A bite of Dame’s fish and chips is enough to transport you from the busy NYC streets to the great British seaside.

Yamasaki follows the philosophy of buying a whole fish and using every part throughout the menu making sure nothing goes to waste.

Founded by the late Chef Jamal James Kent, Garcia and his team work daily to carry on Kent’s legacy and keep his culinary empire going.

We challenged chef Harold Villarosa to make a chicken shawarma sandwich in the Bon Appétit test kitchen that outclasses the options he sampled from 4 local takeout spots. Does Unkle Harold have what it takes to not only reproduce the complex flavors but elevate them all into something even better than takeout restaurant shawarma? Hard to imagine, but Harold is ready.

Today, Bon Appétit meets Chef Lucas Sin in Hong Kong to try Bamboo-pressed Noodles. These noodles are rare and an iconic part of Hong Kong’s street food legacy, with only a handful of places still making them the traditional way by hand. Using nothing but eggs and flour, these springy noodles are pressed with a 40-year-old bamboo pole and then transformed into the perfect bowl of wonton noodle soup.
