Chili Peppers, Table Wine, Chef Shoes: 10 Hot Topics On Food Republic

Cooks and Soldiers
George Embiricos•

Let's break down this busy week here at Food Republic. We compiled food guides to two of our favorite, albeit extraordinarily different places, Atlanta and Sicily. On the chef front, we rounded up an impressive number of instances in which Jamie Oliver has managed to piss someone off and prepped ourselves for the launch of Eddie Huang's chef-sneaker line. Primer time! We got the lowdown on chile peppers, lobster mince and table wine. And where would we be without a healthy dose of seasonal recipes? Check out the formulas for smoked eggplant dip and a variety of treats for National Taco Day. All that and more on this week's Hot Topics on Food Republic.
