When you're out to dinner, you have to make the choice between whether you're there to enjoy the food or shoot it. If you're with friends, you might be able to get away with standing up in the middle of the meal to get an overhead shot, but when you're seated communally, not so much.…

It wouldn't be the dailywaffle if we didn't try the pizza dough in Alton Brown's EveryDayCook.
Is it weird to have a house pizza dough? Well, we eat make and eat enough pizza around here that Kenji Lopez-Alt's NY-Style dough turned into the go-to recipe. But last week, as I was cooking my way through Alton…

But rather than cars pulling up in this lot, a line has…
Every year (I say every year, but it's now twice) I come back from Feast Portland exhausted...exhausted but energized about food.

365 by Whole Foods Bellevue is the third location to open this year. The others are in Silverlake, Calif. and Lake Oswego, Ore.

Set it and forget it. That's the supposed magic of the slow cooker. Dump a bunch of ingredients into it and come back eight hours later to fall apart pulled pork or a potato soup that's been simmering away all day.
