Chicken Meatballs
Following the booming success of
The Meatball Shop chainlet, a number of meatball-centric spots are popping up in NYC.
Eater reports that Polpette recently opened in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, while Zi Pep’s Italian Meatballs and the Meatball Factory are both coming soon to the East Village. It's surprising that the trend didn't catch on sooner:
Meatballs are comforting and cheap, and they lend themselves to a wide range of interpretations, like Jennifer Joyce’s
Vietnamese-inspired chicken meatballs.

Chicken Soup with Matzo Balls.
This week, following a conference in Peru, international activist chefs including New York’s
Dan Barber, Spain’s Ferran Adrià and France’s Michel Bras
unveiled an Open Letter to the Chefs of Tomorrow on the topic of social responsibility. Much of that involves respecting the environment and food systems, which Barber practices in spades at his Blue Hill restaurants. His recipe for
Chicken Soup with Rosemary Matzo Balls honors this model by using up nearly every part of the bird, including wings, back, neck and feet.

Chicken Posole
Le Grand Fooding starts in NYC this weekend, and today Food Republic interviewed the two Frenchwomen who organize its events about men who cook, men who eat and men who are so into food that they warrant the term “gastrosexual.” Launched in France, Le Fooding is like an oddball summit for young international chefs. New York's Andrew Carmellini is among the headlining men who can really cook, so if you miss the alt festivities, his make-ahead Chicken Posole can be enjoyed by anyone—gastrosexual or not.

Stuffed Chicken Thighs.
The
New York Times announced today that food critic Sam Sifton will leave his hallowed dining-section post to step up as National Editor. One of Sifton's major milestones during his two-year tenure:
Awarding four stars to Del Posto, the first Italian restaurant to earn the paper's highest honor since 1974. With their fine-dining accomplishment,
Mario Batali, Joe Bastianich, Lidia Bastianich and chef Mark Ladner secured a place in
Times history for Italian food. To honor the all-stars, we present a Batali recipe that's worthy of our staff favorite hall of fame:
Herb-and-Cheese-Filled Chicken Thighs.

Bouley's Chicken with Mushrooms.
This summer’s record-breaking rainfall may have its upside: mushrooms! NPR’s
Talk of the Nation discussed the season’s fruitful conditions (wet, humid) for fungi on Friday. But, unless you're a specialist or have approval from a mycologist (a fungi botanist), you shouldn’t start foraging all the new specimens popping up in your yard. Instead, purchase wild mushrooms from a reputable vendor and use them in a fantastic recipe from our September issue: David Bouley's
Pot-Roasted Chicken with Mushrooms.

Persian Chicken.
New York's ABC Carpet & Home, which houses Jean-Georges Vongerichten's seasonal, eco-chic venture ABC Kitchen, launched a website this week called
Reveal. One of the first features
follows chef Dan Kluger to the Greenmarket as he shops for sour cherries to make sweet and savory dishes like pizza and sorbet at the restaurant. If you can’t find fresh ones, dried sour cherries are also delicious to cook with in dishes like F&W's
Persian roasted chicken with fragrant rice.

classic chicken noodle soup
In 1971, Momofuku Ando invented a food that would change the course of student diets forever: Cup Noodles (a.k.a. Cup O' Noodles until 1993). The second museum dedicated to the Taiwanese-Japanese entrepreneur opens on Saturday, September 17, in Yokohama, Japan, according to the
Huffington Post. In addition to showing CG movies about Ando, the Cup Noodle Museum will feature a make-your-own instant-noodle bar. Though we certainly appreciate the product’s just-add-water ease, the results could never compare to
homemade chicken noodle soup, such as this classic version by F&W’s Grace Parisi.

Chicken and Okra Fricassee.
On Friday in New York City, revered chef
Eric Ripert and business partner Maguy Le Coze will debut a new interior for their epic French seafood flagship, Le Bernardin. Today, the
New York Times presents a compelling slideshow of the restaurant's evolution over 25 years, with a preview of the overhauled space by architects Bentel & Bentel. In the quest for modernity, there will be fewer seats, more metal, and a new lounge — jackets not required. Ripert has always kept the NYC staple relevant by staying open to new ideas and flavors, like he did on a trip to Brazil with
Food & Wine in 2006. There, Ripert came up with this
Chicken and Okra Fricassee, based on a traditional recipe but lightened with lemongrass and ginger.

Baked Buffalo Wings
This past Sunday, Sonya “The Black Widow” Thomas broke her own world record in competitive wing eating at the 10th annual National Buffalo Wings Festival in Buffalo. According to the
Huffington Post, the 100-pound power eater triumphed over hot dog-eating champion Joey “Jaws” Chestnut by consuming 183 chicken wings in 12 minutes. It takes much less chicken (and fewer calories) to make an awesome meal from our
hot-and-spicy Baked Buffalo Wings, with classic blue cheese dressing and celery.
