Chicken Vesuvio in a Crock Pot
It's time to get out your crock pot and make Chicken Vesuvio. It's one of the Chicago’s most iconic Italian American dishes.

Hummus
This Hummus recipe is perfect. In 1977, Julee Russo and Sheila Lukins opened and ran a gourmet food shop in New York City called The Silver Palate, the first gourmet carry-out shop in Manhattan. It happened to be around the corner from my first apartment, which was 333 square feet facing North with a reflection of the Empire State Building in the window across the street. (I was trying to put a spin on my teeny tiny studio apartment!) In the 1980s they wrote The Silver Palate Cookbook, which had an enormous influence on me. I got really serious about cooking during this time.
Kalbi (Korean BBQ Beef Short Ribs)
This marinade for Kalbi (Korean BBQ Beef Short Ribs) provides a satisfying balance to these ribs. Because the ribs are "flanken cut", which are cut across and along the bone, it allows the marinade to penetrate faster.
