Hawaii has not always been the farmers market dream that is now—for years, it was all imported stuff. But thanks in part to Alan Wong and other island chefs, the state is now producing everything from beef and sustainable seafood to organic produce and chocolate.
After a long day spent paddling through the Everglades, the Sand Bar at the Ritz-Carlton Naples is the perfect spot to unwind: it feels at once private and social, intimate but with a handful of people consistently peppered along the length of the bar.
With a jam-packed schedule that whisked us from Miami and Ft. Lauderdale across Alligator Alley to the Everglades, Naples, and Keewaydin Island, we missed many promising eats in Florida two weeks ago. Here is our restaurant wish list for our next trip south.
It started with an assortment of fried calamari, shrimp, oysters and scallops so crispy and juicy that we ate more than we should have, considering the six courses to come. Next, our dinner at Sea Salt in Naples, FL went on salumi, gnocci, and our favorite, penne with smoked salmon in roasted tomato-vodka sauce.
You can go to Miami and easily find tuna crudo or mini burgers, the favorites of Herve Leger-clad scenesters. But for something more off the beaten path, stop into Garcia's Seafood Grille & Fish Market for grouper soup.
Team Moveable Feast was in Florida to shoot videos for CNTraveler.com and we kicked things off by hanging out with chef Michelle Bernstein in Miami. She cleared her schedule to take us on a field trip to her favorite fish market, Garcia's, and then gave us a quick cooking demo in the Sra. Martinez kitchen.
At last count, text message donations to Haiti have cleared $20 million, and organizations ranging from online retailers to bookstores are teaming up to raise much-needed financial help. Now diners can help the efforts simply by eating out.
We had so many great entries for our first Meal of the Moment contest that we have to share them. Sally Zarafonetis is our runner-up for her juicy Georgia oysters:
Solea at the brand-new W South Beach, is quietly raising the bar. I stopped by last weekend and had two unexpectedly great meals. The restaurant is just seven months old but it’s already had a rebirth.
Who says that ice cream can't be a meal? Not the people who line up morning, noon, and night—alongside a red velvet rope, no less—outside San Francisco's Bi-Rite Creamery.
The country's love of food battles continues. Combine that with San Francisco's bountiful farmers' markets and an adventurous culinary spirit, as was the case for Jeannie Choe, and you've got SF Food Wars.
Kraken, a new addition to the bar, is a dark rum worthy of Captain Jack Sparrow and other wannabe seafarers.
If you're looking to eat well in Santa Fe, here's how to do it: Turn off of Canyon Road into a dimly lit parking lot and you arrive upon an unassuming building that calls itself the Compound.
This New Years, my friends and I escaped to Hanover, New Hampshire, a picturesque town on the Vermont border best known as the home of Dartmouth College. What struck me most, even more than the proliferation of coeds toting hockey sticks, was that the tiny area has three well-stocked Co-ops within a five-mile radius.
The whole of Santa Fe is awash in clay colors and the streets feel like haven't changed much since the 17th century. Thankfully, the food has.
Over the holidays, instead of cooking fussy nouveau creations or bacon-infused desserts, my friends and I opted for simple, but richly satisfying dishes—including two from Al di La in Park Slope, Brooklyn.

You all sent in gorgeous photos and delicious descriptions for our first Meal of the Moment contest. It was hard to choose—there were fresh oysters from Savannah, seaside guacamole in Costa Rica—but we settled on Zora O'Neill's pulled pork tacos. Here's what she had to say about them.
