Ask Me Anything: Eating in New Orleans (and Reading the Comments)

Also this week, I take questions about Chicago hot dogs, fiddlehead ferns and how to cook cicadas.

✈️ LET’S TAKE THE TRIP OF A LIFETIME TOGETHER!  

Have you ever wanted to travel with me — I mean, really travel with me? How does spending nine days and eight nights with me in one of my favorite places on earth sound? This October, you can join me on a trip to Sicily thanks to my friends at Modern Adventure. We’ll explore markets, dine at some amazing restaurants and cook together. Hit this link, and I’ll see you in Sicily!

Hello! I am finally home after many, many weeks on the road and I’m raring to take your questions.

Answering your questions is one of the best parts of my week. If you’re a paid subscriber to Spilled Milk, you should have received an email address where you can send me questions, or you can leave questions in the comments section below. And when I say ask me anything, I mean ANYTHING: In recent weeks I’ve talked about what I might add to a seder plate; given travel guides to Porto and Edinburgh; and discussed whether it’s safe to eat pink chicken when a thermometer says it’s cooked.

Let’s get to your questions.
