Dessert wine and cheese pairings for tonight, in defense of nonstick pans, a glimpse into Madison’s Food Fight restaurant empire and its newest outpost, a preview of the eelpout festival in Walker (here’s our take on how to best cook the ugly suckers), some gorgeous food photos from Ann Arbor (outtakes from this story), a “beet”-versus-“beef” mix-up at Vincent, another Butcher & The Boar preview, a review of Lucy’s North China Cuisine in Fargo, a blogger writes that Scott Ja-Mama’s BBQ has tender-hearted employees and somewhat tough ribs, and the Atlantic’s James Fallows cites Surly (among others) as a sign that he might have been wrong about canned beer.
