Hanoi, Brewed Food, Dale Talde: 10 Hot Topics On Food Republic

In the midst of a snowstorm, we were all about staying warm and treating ourselves. From making simple chocolates at home and deep-frying egg yolks to figuring out what to do in New York City in chilly February, we kept it light and fun this week. We also found the secrets to making the best pot pies, ventured out to Hanoi to try ten quintessential dishes and talked to Dale Talde about what makes a good pizza. Not all things were chocolate-covered fun; we sat down with the director of Under Contract, a documentary about the harsh truth that is the American chicken-farming industry. All that and more on this week's Hot Topics on Food Republic.
