It’s a battle of the chicken sandwiches.

A week after Popeyes first nationwide chicken sandwich was released, the fast-food chain started a Twitter feud with chicken competitor Chick-fil-A.

On Monday, Chick-fil-A, which launched a new item of its own last week with its Mac & Cheese, tweeted: ” Bun + Chicken + Pickles = all the (heart emoji) for the original.”

Popeyes retweeted the tweet and wrote “… y’all good?”

The Twitterverse was a flurry with some saying they preferred Popeyes’ new sandwi

Tijuana is the talk of the taco world right now.

From grilled carne asada, ideally cooked over charcoal, to hefty corn tortillas, thick swipes of guacamole (and even a few with cheese, beans, and flour tortillas) this current taco t

Ask a chef and they’ll tell you that flank steak is one of the most underrated cuts of beef. It may not be the first type of steak that comes to mind, but you’ve probably had it at least a few times before. It pops up in everything from Chinese stir-fry to steak tacos, and with good reason. It’s an extremely versatile cut that can easily be grilled, broiled or braised quickly and flavorfully. Plus, it won’t break the bank, like other cuts of meat. (We’re looking at you, filet mignon.)

Plant-based burger makers say their products are better for the planet than beef. Whether they are better for consumers’ health is a different question.

The banh mi makes an ideal meal any time of year, but it’s particularly splendid when the sun is out, as the sandwich’s light, bright flavors are refreshing as part of a picnic or a brisk hike. The zesty, wallet-friendly classic starts with a si

1. Start with flavor-packed ingredients for the easiest-ever marinade.

Rather than calling for a long list of ingredients, this marinade uses ones that do the work for you: namely, chipotle peppers. Chipotle peppers in adobo are jalapeños marinated in vinegar, salt, cumin, oregano, and other spices (read: they’re a flavor powerhouse). You’ll add between a teaspoon and a tablespoon, depending on how spicy you like your fajitas. (Here’s how to save the l

Jerk is the quintessential flavour of Jamaican food. The exact ingredients vary, but it must be spicy, hot and slightly sweet. Honey provides the sweet; the fruity Scotch bonnet chilli brings the heat. The spices should certainly include allspice, from the beautiful trees that you find all over Jamaica.
