This week's round up of food-focused events highlight chefs who give back.

Every lover of poultry and Asian food needs a Chinese soy sauce chicken recipe in their life. Make this glossy, savory delight for dinner tonight.

The food world is seeing some ups and downs, some breakups and some changes. Small businesses in England want Britain and the EU to stay together for the kids while a Chinese farmer's son is trying to find love with a magic mushroom. Naked babies are a little too scandalous for America.

I nearly chickened out when I saw the 50-person-plus line emanating from Australian Dairy Company, a grubby Hong Kong institution that’s been slinging greasy fare since 1970 (and doesn’t seem to have updated its decor anytime since). But mercifully the queue moved briskly, and within 20 minutes I could peek inside to see what all…

Chan Yan Tak, executive chef at the Four Seasons Hong Kong’s Cantonese jewel, Lung King Heen, wants to show me his music collection. I’m sitting across from Chan at a white tablecloth table in Lung King Heen’s sumptuous but empty dining room — Monday’s lunch service won’t start for another three hours — and instead of…

Rents are ungodly high in Hong Kong, a jam-packed city practically gasping for extra space. The skyline, eternally draped in bamboo scaffolding, continues to reach ever upward, while each year land reclamation projects inch the coastline farther and farther into Victoria Harbor. One can understand, then, the quandary posed to bar owners the city over.…

Soft shell crab slider, avocado & lime on toasted brioche! @_bibandtucker_ #FRTakeover @rootnbonenyc @sarsaparillaclub @chefmcinnis @chefjanineboothA photo posted by Food Republic (@foodrepublic) on May 16, 2016 at 12:44pm PDT Now is a great time to make Food Republic a part of your regular Instagram routine. Our chef friends and contributors travel the world, bringing us stunning images of…

If asked to summarize the summer of 2015 in one word, Europeans — or anyone who journeyed through the glorious continent — would more likely than not respond with “hot.” For reasons she’ll take to the grave, Mother Nature unleashed the sweltering “Caronte” heat wave that brought the mercury to brutal, record-breaking highs, toasting a decent…

In a world that appears to be saturated with celebrity chefs, are our taste buds more easily fooled than ever? Can simply being at these chefs' restaurants alter the way you experience food, no matter what ingredients are used? Say, for example, David Chang were to serve you a bowl of instant ramen. Would this dish undoubtedly be the best instant ramen…

One can find a little of everything in Hong Kong. A truly international city, it’s packed with restaurants representing a broad range of cuisines and some of the best third-wave coffee shops in the world. The cocktail scene continues to grow with exciting new spots, classic destinations and hidden lounges in highrises, many of them…

[caption id="attachment_74179" align="alignnone" width="700" ] Shiso bulgogi pork belly skewers sold out within hours at the Mrs. Pound pop-up in Hong Kong earlier this summer.[/caption] What a long, strange summer it’s been. Ivan Ramen and Mario Batali elevated food courts in New York and Chicago. The vegetable revolution conquered tasting menus and converted carnivores. And,…

Hong Kong bills itself as “Asia's World City” and that's largely due to the fact that major banking operations use HK as their base. As a result, there are a lot of wonderfully lavish restaurants vying for expense account dollars with precious food created by major chefs from around the globe. Here are 10 haute…

Chefs love to travel — for inspiration, to experience the cuisines of other cultures or just to get away from the heat of their own kitchens. When they return, we hit them with some questions — where'd they stay, what'd they do and WHAT DID THEY EAT?! Ever wonder which U.S. restaurant is the most…

Michelin stars are easy prey. Unlike other big game, they can't move. When they see your hungry maw approaching, they have no choice but to just sit there and give up their delicious bounty. Sadly, there's no special society for Star Hunters like myself. We don't have an obscure channel dedicated to our exploits and…

If you're flying to Hong Kong from the United States, you've got roughly 15 hours from the time your plane hits the Pacific to dream about dim sum. Hong Kong-based airline Cathay Pacific knows this all too well and they're doing their part to make your pork bun dreams a reality – at least in…

Last week we told you about how Hong Kong is fast become the go-to food/travel destination in all of East Asia. The Chinese city-state is one of the world’s most exciting places to eat and the American media and air carriers have taken notice (ramping up non-stop flights and marketing the food angle pretty hard).…

You already know all about the Rolex shops, rooftop bars and high-rise hotels. But there is more to Asia’s Skyscraper City than meets the Chanel eyewear. From the best dim sum on earth to star-studded international imports, the Chinese city-state is one of the world’s most exciting places to eat right now. And it’s increasingly…

The World’s 50 Best Restaurants isn't just another listicle from a content puppy mill du jour, but a full-on statement from an authority in the restaurant world, Restaurant magazine, sponsored by bottled water companies San Pellegrino and Acqua Panna. OK, the whole thing is complicated, but it’s what we've got and what the industry observes…

Here at Food Republic, we get besieged with pitches for everything from National Vodka Day to paleo diet cookbooks to Asian fusion restaurants opening in strip malls outside Houston. Because we don't have a lot of free time, and because we don't want to kill any more brain cells (we'll leave that to our cocktail…

Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or seeking a different point of view, quite literally, sky-high restaurants are trending globally. From fancy dim sum to royal Korean plates to perfectly-charred steaks, here are six stellar restaurants that take fine dining to great new heights. Hong Kong: Above & Beyond Upon ascending to the top floor…

In the high school cafeteria of the hotel industry, airport accommodations are generally the equivalent of the headgear-wearing captain of the local larping society. But get ready for a She’s All That–style transformation, because airport hotels are in the midst of a major makeover. Gone are the breakfast buffets with overcooked eggs, weak coffee and…

We always have style on the brain at FR headquarters, so from time to time we reach out to our best-dressed chef friends to hear about their favorite designers and why it’s never OK to wear chili pepper pants in the kitchen. Next up, Mathieu Palombino, chef-owner of New York City’s Motorino. His newly opened…

Chefs love to travel — for inspiration, to experience the cuisines of other cultures or just to get away from the heat of their own kitchens. When they return, we hit them with some questions — where'd they stay, what'd they do and WHAT DID THEY EAT?! When Sang Yoon opened up Father’s Office in…

The Perennial Plate is a highly ambitious documentary series founded by chef and activist Daniel Klein — before traveling the world to produce his films, the NYU graduate worked in some of the world’s top kitchens including The Fat Duck, Craft and Mugaritz. Klein is back with a new season where he will be traveling…

All the global clubbing capitals have them — those beloved local spots that provide a place to relax and refuel after a long night (slash morning) on the dance floor. From duck noodles to Turkish köfte, here’s a guide on what to eat — and where to eat it — in the world’s best cities…

We’ve all been there. Tired. Hungry. Staring into the cold, dark eyes of a Panda Express. The dearth of decent airport dining can make even the savviest world traveler feel stranded in a culinary heart of darkness. With nothing but a mediocre Hudson News paperback to pass the interminable hours before boarding, what is the…
