We covered a diverse range of food and drink items this week at Food Republic. On the home front, we learned how to make tteokbokki and Filipino beef jerky, how to use pickled mustard seeds and how not to mess up homemade pizza. We also got schooled on how best to enjoy French wine during the summer. We traveled to Utah to find out if there really is a quality drinking scene (spoiler alert: there is!) and scoped out some of our favorite places to drink in the increasingly trendy neighborhood of East London. We even found time to discuss the future of Thai food with an expert. All that and more, on this week's Hot Topics on Food Republic.
