Bone Broth, Animal Heads, Food Crazes: 10 Hot Topics On Food Republic

We pride ourselves on learning straight from the mouths of culinary experts here at Food Republic —that is, from chefs themselves. This week was no exception, as we shot an exclusive video of Dominique Ansel putting together his latest magical creation, spoke with David Santos about food "crazes" and dutifully followed the duck confit and rillettes recipe provided to us by the guys at Portland's famed Olympia Provisions. We also did some reporting of our own, compiling a guide to everything you need to know about eggs, emulsions, cooking with animal heads, judging barbecue competitions and dining on the high seas. All that and more, on this week's Hot Topics on Food Republic.
