Picture this: You just sat down at a restaurant you've been looking forward to visiting. You get situated and take a look at the enticing options listed on the menu, and among the entree items are, one) steak fries and two) steak frites. With just a single letter difference, you might have even read them as the same thing at first. So are they the same? No. Are they related? Yes, actually. Does either dish have anything to do with steak, or fries for that matter? Yes, but to varying degrees. Confused yet? Let's get into the two super-similar-sounding dishes.

We independently select these products—if you buy from one of our links, we may earn a commission. All prices were accurate at the time of publishing. I’ve eaten in Paris brasseries and Roman trattorias, but the meals I really dream about are pretty much all from a trip I took all across Japan. Perhaps it was all the raw fish, the winding grilled meat alleys, or the beauty that is Japanese breakfast — I knew from the first bites of each that I’d be slightly haunted (in a good way) by all the tastes I’d uncovered.

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.

Pizza will always be Italy's claim to fame, but gosh darn it if America isn't going to do everything in its power to challenge that. Pizza is consistently ranked in polls among the most popular foods in America, and it seems like every state wants a piece of the pie, both metaphorically and literally.

Most people outside of Chicago associate the Windy City's cuisine with two dishes. First and foremost, there is Chicago deep-dish pizza, ever the center of "is it really pizza" debates. Right behind it is the Chicago-style hot dog, famed for its ardent anti-ketchup stance. It's curious how these two dishes came to define the perception of Chicago cuisine, and it must in no small part be due to the fact that they are often framed as rivals of New York City's own pizza and hot dogs. In truth though, neither deep-dish pizza nor hot dogs is the true Chicago signature. Ask the locals, and they will almost surely give that title to the Italian beef.

Pepperoni is consistently ranked as the most popular pizza topping, and it's hard to imagine that anything else could come close. Now, all you pizza lovers may think you know all there is to know about pepperoni, but few really understand just how diverse the pepperoni world is. There are numerous distinct styles of pepperoni. Of course, you have the typical pepperonis found on most chain pizzas, which are flat, and about the size of a half-dollar coin. Sometimes, you'll see huge circles of deli pepperoni, a common choice for sandwiches. But the true cream of the crop, the once and future king of the pepperoni kingdom, is Old World pepperoni.

Rice vinegar is one of the most common ingredients in Japanese cookery. You've probably encountered rice vinegar any time you've gone out for sushi, as it is a common seasoning in sushi rice (vinegar can make rice less sticky, so the sushi doesn't end up with a gummy texture). Outside of Japanese cuisine, however, it is a far less common ingredient, and it might not be the kind of thing you regularly keep in your pantry. If you find yourself needing a splash of rice vinegar for a recipe, but you have none on hand, fear not, as it's quite simple to substitute with another ingredient.

I grew up eating this crab salad. When I was a kid, I was forever begging my mom and dad to buy me crab salad at the grocery store. I would take a big scoop and pile it on top of some soft potato bread, or grab a box of Triscuits and devour a bowl of crab salad, using it as a topping for my crackers. Even as an adult, my dad would surprise me with a container full of this creamy salad. It's such a delicious salad; it brings back a lot of fond memories.

Few things bring people together quite like a big seafood boil. Whether you're trying something new with friends and family or recapturing nostalgic childhood memories, this shrimp boil is a summer crowd-pleaser. It's perfect for first-timers and veterans alike! Unlike recipes that call for over 10 pounds of seafood and an enormous stock pot, this version is more manageable for a smaller crowd, while still featuring all the favorites: potatoes, corn, andouille sausage, and fresh shrimp. The Creole-spiced broth infuses every ingredient with rich, savory flavors. A drizzle of hot sauce and garlicky melted butter at the end takes each bite to the next level!

Sourced from the loin of the cattle and renowned for its tenderness (hence the name), beef tenderloin is the cut of choice any time home chefs would like to whip up a slab of slow-cooked roast. And if you're ever in the mood for a steak dinner? A tenderloin can be sliced into the legendary filet mignon. Cook it on a grill for a few minutes and you'll have a delicious and decadent meal ready to go. But while it's undoubtedly delicious, it comes with a hefty price tag (it's one of the priciest beef cuts that you can get, in fact.) Depending on availability, grade, and trimming, you can expect to pay anywhere from $20 to $30 per pound.
