Chicken Salad with Bacon
Tomorrow marks the very unofficial holiday known as
International Bacon Day. Masterminded in 2005 by a bunch of UC Boulder graduate students who loved all sorts of
bacon (the food and the actor), the occasion is celebrated by eating bacon, watching Kevin Bacon (or movies featuring pigs) and generally appreciating all things crispy, fatty and meaty. You can quietly salute their brilliance—without spending one of the last summer weekends indoors—by making fast
baby brioches with chicken salad and applewood-smoked bacon for a delicious Labor Day party.

Chicken Thighs with Tomato-Pepper Sauce
An estimated 40,000 people hurled tomatoes at each other in Buñol, Spain, earlier today for
La Tomatina, a festival held annually on the last Wednesday in August. In one hour, the town’s plaza transformed into an ocean of red pulp with crowds of sticky, tomato-soaked revelers. Those who want to celebrate the occasion without getting splattered can smother
chicken thighs in a spicy tomato-pepper sauce from Basque chef
Gerald Hirigoyen—no shower required.

Chicken-and-Andouille Etouffee
On the season finale of
No Reservations last night, Anthony Bourdain explored Louisiana’s Cajun Country, ate street-food noodles, and shot a pig. As is customary, Eater
transcribed Bourdain’s one-liners, like his thoughts on “the origin of New Orleans' street noodle dish, yakkamein: ‘Maybe broke-ass and too lazy to go out, some early innovator tried to recreate the dim memory of Chinese noodles with what he had around.’” Filter out the sass, and there are always plenty of delicious bits to crave on the show. For
Cajun inspiration, here’s a fast recipe for
Chicken-and-Andouille Étouffée, a classic stew over rice.

garlic-fennel chicken
Tomorrow marks the 40th anniversary of Chez Panisse, the influential Berkeley restaurant founded by seasonal-food advocate Alice Waters. A new book celebrating the restaurant called
40 Years of Chez Panisse: The Power of Gathering, featured in
F&W’s August issue, profiles Waters’s path from a chef—so focused on freshness that her fruit plate was famous—to an activist. In an
interview with
Publishers Weekly, Waters noted that eating organic foods on a budget is possible if you "buy a chicken and have many meals come from it." These
grilled fennel-garlic chicken legs can be cooked for dinner one night, and the leftovers can be reinvented the next day into a quick and tasty
antipasto salad.

Chicken Salad with Piquillo Dressing.
New York’s Spanish-cooking star
Seamus Mullen (an Irishman by way of Vermont) opened his new spot,
Tertulia, in the West Village last week.
Eater interviewed the
Next Iron Chef finalist this afternoon about his inspiration and the importance of authenticity when it comes to
Spanish cooking. “To me, this place is authentically New York,” says Mullen, who will incorporate great local ingredients into his recipes. What’s most important to us is that his food is delicious, like this recipe for
Chicken Salad With Piquillo Dressing.

Grilled Chicken Sandwiches.
Continuing a
casual dining streak this summer, President Obama
stopped for takeout last night while on vacation in Martha’s Vineyard. He and wife Michelle picked up dinner at
Nancy’s Restaurant, which sells beach-shack seafood plates with fried clams and grilled chicken sandwiches from a snack bar window. Apart from being easy, simple dishes are often deliciously crave-worthy, especially with summer accoutrements, as in F&W’s warm
grilled chicken sandwiches with mozzarella, basil and deep red tomatoes.

Chicken with Succotash.
Chef Michel Nischan—who co-founded The Dressing Room in Connecticut with the late Paul Newman—is continuing to help those in need gain access to fresh food through his
Wholesome Wave Foundation. According to the
Atlantic, the program, which doubles the value of food vouchers when used at farmers’ markets, now operates in 30 states. With national greenmarkets booming,
in number and literal abundance, using local produce to prepare Nischan’s
Skillet Chicken with Summer Succotash is an easy way to celebrate the chef’s work and culinary acumen.
