There are two new restaurants in the two-star category

This week, French tire company Michelin launched its newest dining guide: the 2021 Michelin Guide Netherlands. It’s a continuation of Michelin’s pandemic quest to, as international director Gwendal Poullennec puts it, “encourage restaurateurs, highlight their exceptional commitment and showcase their talent.”

There are just 10 new starred restaurants total on the list, including two restaurants with two-stars for the first time: Brut172 in Reijmerstok and Restaurant 212 in Amsterdam bring the total number of two-star restaurants to 18. Restaurant 212, from chefs Thomas Groot and Richard Van Oostenbrugge, made its debut in the 2019 Michelin guide with one star, while Brut172 appears in the guide for the first time. It’s a particularly remarkable feat for a restaurant which opened just weeks before COVID-19 shutdowns, leaving less than a year for Michelin inspectors to solidify their impressions.

There are 93 restaurants with one star on in the guide, eight of them new: De Nieuwe Winkel in Nijmegen, Pieters Restaurant in Bergamacht, Zeezout in Rotterdam, Tilia in Etten-Leur, Meliefste in Wolphaartsdijk, Kasteel Heemstede in Houten, and Wils and Daalder, both located in Amsterdam. There are also eight entries into Michelin’s brand new Green Star category, which recognizes restaurants that make a commitment to sustainability, including the newly one-starred De Nieuwe Winkel.

There are no new three star restaurants in the Netherlands, but De Librije in Zwolle and Inter Scaldes in Kruiningen retain their three-star rankings from last year. The guide also includes 118 Bib Gourmand restaurants — in this case, restaurants that offer set menus for a maximum of €39. Thirteen of these are new this year.

A Comforting Braised Pig Feet Recipe Perfect for Your Pressure Cooker

Image
Louiie Victa Chef Jenny Dorsey’s recipe is a testament to the trotter’s versatility When I go grocery shopping, I always look for pig feet. In the sea of unrecognizably standard-looking cuts of animal muscles at grocery stores — disk-shaped loins, round humps of pork butt — trotters are always the anomaly. They look most precisely as they were: feet, hooves, the tired bones and tissue that kept an animal upright its whole life. Unfortunately for pig feet, their look hasn’t exactly made them a popular part of the mainstream American diet. As Cecil Adams wrote back in 2016, one of the challenges in encouraging more Americans to consume offal and organ meat is that “organs resemble, well, body parts: any steak slapped on a plate looks like dinner, while a lovingly presented calf heart may suggest an autopsy.” And, Adams added, there’s the “socioeconomic stigma…that had a racial component too,” which is only exacerbated by “travelogue shows [like] Bizarre Foods .” Despite being mali...

Beyond Impossible: The Sanitarium and World War II Past of Meat Substitutes

Image
Photo by Tom Kelley/Getty Images We’ve come a long way from John Harvey Kellogg’s “protose cutlets” It’s no stretch to say that fake meat is having a moment . With the popularity of brands such as Impossible Foods and Beyond Meat joining fast-food menus and grocery store aisles alike, plant-based meats are no longer seen as a sad option for vegetarians long denied flavor with meat substitutes (though, as we know, plenty of vegetarian food is packed with flavor), but for anyone who enjoys a good burger, fried chicken, or nuggets. But are meat substitutes really the future of eating? Maybe by necessity as food resources run out, but not likely by choice. In fact, despite the big money raked in by Impossible and Beyond over the past few years, industrial meat consumption in America is actually on the rise. This week on Gastropod , Cynthia Graber and Nicola Twilley see how the not-sausage gets made, with visits to the Impossible Meat lab and Meati , a Colorado-based start-up that’...

Without Government Aid, Americans in Need Are Shoplifting Food Essentials

Photo: Niloo /Shutterstock Plus, Colin Kaepernick gets his own Ben & Jerry’s ice cream flavor, and more news to start your day More people admit to shoplifting what they need to survive Since the pandemic began, Americans have called for relief for individuals and small businesses. Stimulus checks, rent and mortgage cancelation, and universal health care have all been on the table. But aside from $1,200 months ago, we’ve gotten none of that, and the latest stimulus package is woefully inadequate. So, as the Washington Post reports , more people than ever have resorted to stealing essentials like bread, baby formula, and diapers to survive. Honestly, what did the government expect? WaPo says there’s been a 45 percent increase in the number of Americans facing hunger this year, up to 54 million people. Lines at food banks have been miles long for months, with many saying that mutual aid groups and donations can’t keep up with demand . And with SNAP and WIC programs cut back,...
