Food

It's an unscientific study: Throw some likely contenders in a hat, pull out a bunch, gas up the car, and get eating.

Long Island Restaurant Week will soon be here and a new course on food culture at Stony Brook Southampton

First Artists and Writers night of the season at Almond; Quiet Clam specials, oysters, and more

Nick and Toni’s opened on Aug. 3, 1988, long before foodies started using smartphones to take photos of exquisitely-plated entrees to share on social media. Yet, even on day one, the restaurant had a following.

Seasons by the Sea: Chowders, Red, White, and Alt

People sure do have strong opinions about chowders whether New England, Manhattan, Long Island, Rhode Island, or, now “alt-chowder.”

Diversity and a global perspective that reflected back on the East End were the emphasis of this year’s Food Lab conference.

There is almost never a time when Fierro’s isn’t busy, and if you’ve been there, you can understand why. The pizzeria, which celebrates its 35th anniversary in East Hampton this week, has survived and thrived not only on the strength of its popular pies — served 362 days a year — but on the amicability of its owners, John and Al Fierro.

Fresh Pizza 

Sag Pizza, which opened in Sag Harbor on Friday at the former Conca d’Oro location, offers a wide variety of toppings for its 12-inch, wood-fired pies, which range in price from $14 to $18. The menu features such combinations as mushroom and truffle paste, clams and garlic-scallion butter, and sausage, shishito peppers, and eggs. A selection of fresh pasta dishes is also available. One of the opening-day entrees was rigatoni with spicy sausage, bitter greens, pignoli, and pecorino sardo cheese for $24. The restaurant also serves wine, beer, and cocktails.
