We definitely racked up the travel miles this week at Food Republic. We started off in New York and compiled our ultimate guide to the city's best Japanese eats before hopping on the subway to learn how to artistically plate yellow beetroot at Brooklyn's 12-seat dining room Take Root. From there, we hit up D.C. to chat with Ed Lee about the first restaurant he's opening outside his hometown of Louisville and explored the surprisingly strong deep-dish pizza scene in San Francisco. Our week's travels wouldn't have been complete without an epic taco crawl south of the border in Mexico City. We also put together a guide to the 20 best beers for grilling, investigated the farm-raised vs. wild-caught fish debate and shucked some oysters to put together our new favorite recipe (hint: there's bacon involved). All that and more on this week's Hot Topics on Food Republic.
