From the May issue of Food & Wine Magazine…
- Chef Rob Evans of Hugo’s Restaurant in Portland, Maine highlights restaurants he and his wife visited during their cross country motorcycle ride for their honeymoon. Binkley’s in Cave Creek, Arizona was one of his favorites – he especially enjoyed the pancetta wrapped trotter.
- Mario Batali shares a recipe for pancetta wrapped asparagus with citronette.
- The restaurant Harvest in Boston is listed as one of Food & Wine’s top restaurants of 2008. The editors loved the restaurant’s Crispy Kurobuta pork belly BLT.
- Another favorite restaurant of the Food & Wine staff is Herbsaint in New Orleans. They recommend the “bacony pan-roasted chicken with shell beans.”
- If you find yourself in Montreal, visit Kitchen Galerie and order the cocotte of roasted root vegetables with lardons.
- For a Mediterranean style meal, try Pasta with Rosemary and Onion-Orange Marmelade, a dish that features finely chopped pancetta.
