Don’t get us started on number 2. 😭

Raise your hand if you’re also team diagonally cut sandwiches. 🙋

We sat down with television host Adam Richman (adamrichman) for lunch at Bangkok Supper Club (@bangkoksupperclubnyc), a Thai favorite in his hometown of NYC, to chat about the food that he thinks is always wildly overpriced (👀), how he decides where to eat in a new city, and more. Catch Season 7 of “The Food That Built America” on the History Channel (@historytv).

You had us at “hot dog party.” 😍

Stefania Orrù (@stefferonipizza), head of video production, used two hot dog recipes from our brand-new cookbook (!) to make this winning hot dog centerpiece. Run, don’t walk, to make this spread this weekend.

Millennial pink walked so Yves Klein blue could run.

The mid-to-late 2010s were dominated by millennial pink, a trend that swept restaurants as much as it did the broader culture. Now, at restaurants, the tide has turned toward saturation — specifically, the use of electric blue, which feels fresher than navy blue and more main-character than sky blue. “I do feel, as always in design, it’s a reaction to that era: We wanted to go back to more primary colors,” says Anna Polonsky (@annapolons), who runs the hospitality-focused design studio Polonsky & Friends (@polonskyandfriends).

Restaurants are reflecting what’s happening across culture: Vogue deemed Yves Klein blue “undoubtedly” the “winner of the night” at the most recent Met Gala. Tap the link in our bio to read more about why this shade of blue is having such a moment from senior reporter Bettina Makalintal (@buttina).
