This classic New Orleans dish isn’t actually barbecued—instead, it can be made on your stovetop in just over 20 minutes. The name refers to the sauce, which is smoky red and punchy in flavor. What gives it that all-important flavor? Worcestershire sauce for one, along with a generous...

That’s it. I’m done gatekeeping. If you haven’t tried the key lime pie from Publix, now is the time. Even my devout baker of a mother, who for most of my childhood swore by the decree “homemade, best made,” is a convert. A Tennessean through and through, she always prided herself on fixing desserts from scratch. She’d diligently follow the instructions in my grandmother's waterlogged, dog-eared church cookbook that survived moves from Knoxville to Tullahoma and Memphis, then back to Knoxville, and so on.

When I was a professional baker, I often had to grate pounds of carrots by hand for cake when the food processor was broken, or after the grating plate insert went missing. Although tiny, I built some serious arm muscles between the kneading and the grating I did daily, and I have only recently come to learn that when it comes to grating, there was a better way of doing it this entire time. It's a super simple fix, too.

A pair of Texas horses are in need of a home together due to their unique and special bond. According to a Facebook post from Humane Society of North Texas in Fort Worth, “unicorn” geldings Takoda and Jack Black are more than best friends. Jack Black is also Takoda’s “seeing eye horse.”

The best rule of thumb is to factor about 1/2 lb. raw brisket per person, which will yield a rough average of about 1/4 lb. of cooked brisket per person. If brisket is the star of the show and few side dishes accompany it, you might consider bumping that to 3/4 lb. uncooked brisket per person, but it's more likely that your brisket will be accompanied by side dishes—after all, brisket is often a main fixture of a larger, multi-dish affair whether it's a Passover meal or a barbecue potluck.

This Is How Much Brisket To Make Per Person

Good food always requires a little TLC to make, but it feels less of a loving task when the recipe involves shredded meat for your favorite chicken salads, barbecue pulled pork, and casseroles. We all know (and have tried) the two-fork method, and while it is a trusty standard for shredding meat, it requires a lot of labor and manual work.

Just 1,000 people call Linden home. The tight-knit community is one of twelve small towns along the watershed region known as "Nashville's Big Backyard."

"All I can say is 'Yum!' I learned how to make these tartlets at my first job at a Portuguese bakery in my hometown. They are very popular, and I can’t go long without a fix. They are simple to make at home—particularly when you use frozen puff pastry—and oh-so good. The filling is almost like a pudding," says Chef Emeril Lagasse.

Is there a way to make the classic BLT even better? We certainly think so—and we nominate this iteration as the best there may be. For this millionaire bacon BLT, the bacon is crisp and candied, but plenty of the smoky-savory bacon flavor still shines through. Lightly toasted bread keeps the sandwich from falling apart (and isn't so hard that it cuts the roof of your mouth).

As the saying goes, “Everything is bigger in Texas!” Hair, hats, and, if you’re a DCC fan, those epic high kicks during their now notorious Thunderstruck routine (cue AC/DC). Even simple items are presented on a grander scale in Texas. Case in point: the illustrious Texas toast. Toast on its own is a benign piece of sliced bread, browned on both sides. It’s synonymous with bland foods that can help remedy the stomach flu. Texas toast, however, is an entirely different concoction. The bread is thick, the spread is ample, and the flavor is bold. Yes, this is undoubtedly Texas’ flex to toast. Everything about Texas toast is big.
