Cruise by Justin Holt’s Ramen Pop-Up on Sunday

If you happen to be one of those readers, those foodie fiends, who have been ogling the window of Salaryman, next to door to Macellaio in the Bishop Arts district, to see when the long-anticipated izakaya and ramen shop from chef Justin Holt might be debuting, there is good news and—well, less good news. The frustrating bit is that we still have to wait. (Though, yes, I know you've seen the light fixtures go in and the bottles of sake arrive and the counter take on its enticing, please-serve-me-a-bowl-of-ramen shape.)

The good news is that ramen will be available in pop-up form this Sunday, December 23.

Last weekend, Holt popped up at the Dubliner with battleship curry bowls. This Sunday, you'll find Holt's spicy miso ramen at The Libertine, starting at 7 p.m. until bowls run out. The profile includes a chicken-miso broth, pork chasu, egg, bamboo shoots, green onion, cabbage, and a tangle of the alkaline noodles he's been developing for Salaryman. $10 per bowl (cash only).

How's that for a cheerful Friday thought?

How To Make Albacore Tuna “Filet Mignons”

We're huge fans of grillmaster Steven Raichlen's smoky, meaty cookbooks. His latest work focuses on updating our beloved grilling techniques. Dive into recipes for grilled meats, vegetable sides, desserts and more. Here's a way to really class up your albacore tuna. Most of the dishes you see on my TV shows are carefully planned in advance. This one I created on the spot to showcase some gorgeous, astonishingly fresh albacore fillets a local fisherman brought to the set of Project Smoke . Plancha searing gives you a crisp smoky bacon crust on the outside, but you keep the grilling sufficiently brief to leave the fish sushi-rare in the center. Cut crosswise, the albacore looks like bacon-wrapped filet mignon. To continue the beef metaphor, you serve it with a Peppercorn Cream Sauce. Insider Tip: This recipe calls for a technique I call plancha grilling: You cook the fish on heated cast iron, adding hardwood to the fire to generate wood smoke. Alternatively, you ...
