Called the "world's most daring restaurant," Fäviken, located in northwestern Sweden, is run by chef Magnus Nilsson -- who has been described as "part Viking lumberjack and part Shaman."
The Michelin Guide to restaurants has been around for more than 100 years and claims more gravitas, by sheer longevity, than most other dining guides. Recognition bestowed by this particular institution can make or break a restaurant.
I can usually tell if someone is going to make it in the industry after a couple of minutes with them. So, in order to speed up the process, I thought I would jot down a couple of tidbits that can help a young chef navigate the decision-making process.
Beets are the triple homicides of the vegetable kingdom: Everyone avoids them because of the messy red stains. But beets are my almost-favorite vegetable, trailing only Brussels sprouts (the Elephant Men of the vegetable kingdom) and a spinachy green known as pigweed.
These days, we're all amateur food pornographers. But we thought the phone photos of a professional chef and consummate foodie like Mario Batali would be even yummier than those of us layfolk.

When I heard the French Rhone Alpes has more than sixty Michelin starred restaurants I knew this was a region I needed to check out for a Travel Therapy culinary vacation!
An organic dinner of farm raised ingredients. A table full of jovial guests and local wine. A summer night to appreciate good food and where it comes from.
Most of the chefs I know love hot and spicy food. But the hot flavors get left outside with the street clothes when they don their whites. What's up with that?
Nephi Craig, executive chef of the fine-dining restaurant at the White Mountain Apache Tribe's Sunrise Park Resort, has put out a call for proposals for an early-November indigenous food-and-culture conference at the resort.
