| ‘Saveur’ magazine teams up with YouTube food channel for new show Posted: 04 Dec 2012 04:01 PM PST  Dueling Dishes premiered over the weekend. – AFP pic Dueling Dishes premiered over the weekend on what could easily be described as the online version of the Food Network, especially given that it's helmed by food TV titan and former Food Network TV executive Bruce Seidel. The 10-minute segments challenge different pairs of chefs to create their version of the best latke, buche de noël or Yule log, macaroni and cheese, fried chicken, meatloaf and ice box pie. Competing chefs come from New York eateries such as Tavern on the Green, Aquavit, and Gramercy Tavern. Judging the dishes will be Saveur magazine editors, as well as food chef and personality Todd English. Other Hungry shows include "Duff's Food World", which explores fringe foodie experiences like eating sushi off naked bodies and dining in the dark. Chris Cosentino also hosts "New Pork", a show dedicated to all things porcine, while "Casserole Queen"s explores all the possibilities of one-pot dishes. Meanwhile, when it comes to YouTube food channels, the reigning celebrity is undoubtedly Epic Meal Time, a Montreal-based team that makes it its mission to create bacon-filled fast food monstrosities for shock value and entertainment. Every week, the channel's videos attract on average more than a million views. – AFP-Relaxnews |
| Hong Kong and Macau see flurry of Michelin stars Posted: 04 Dec 2012 03:45 PM PST HONG KONG, Dec 5 – Michelin inspectors have handed out a constellation of stars to restaurants and chefs in Hong Kong and Macau this year, inducting 19 new restaurants into the exclusive starred club and cementing the region as a growing world-class dining destination.
All five restaurants in Hong Kong and Macau, meanwhile, retained their three-star standing. Most notable, meanwhile, is the demotion of French chef Pierre Gagnaire's Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong outpost Pierre, which was knocked down a rung to fall from two stars to one star. The dominant cuisine among the starred restaurants? About 70 per cent of the dining destinations selected offer Chinese cuisine, including Shanghainese, Pekingese, Sichuan, Hakka, Hang Zhou, Cantonese and Chiu Chow. Other cuisines and foods which earned star recognition from inspectors include sushi, steakhouse, European contemporary, noodles, congee and Italian fare. In this year's Bib Gourmand section — a category reserved for eateries where diners can tuck into a three-course meal for HK$300 (RM118) – inspectors added 18 new addresses that provide good value for money for a total of 76 Bib Gourmand restaurants. The guide likewise provides 63 addresses for "simple shop restaurants" such as local food stalls and noodle shops which serve rustic, hearty street foods like roast meats, dim sum, Cantonese, Thai, ramen noodles, congee and Vietnamese foods. Modest food stalls and eateries make up 20 percent of the guide, some of which have been awarded stars to make them the most affordable Michelin-grade restaurants in the world, the guide says. The Michelin Guide Hong Kong Macau 2013 is available December 5 in Hong Kong and Macau for HK$198 and in mid-December in Southeast Asia. – Reuters |
