What Food is Better Than Sex?

Top Lists 24 Jul 2013 Mar Yvette

Foodgasm, oral gratification, gastrophoria. Call it what you want. The bottom line is that every now and again, you bite into something so delicious, so incredibly multisensory, it convinces you it’s better than sex. White truffles? (Wolfgang Puck seems to think so.) Bacon? (Take it from an Iron Chef.) Pancakes? (Who knew!) I asked some top chefs and restaurateurs to describe which foods really hit the spot.

Q&A: Chef Jet Tila Does Bistronomics

Stories 3 Oct 2011 Mar Yvette

Chef Jet Tila is known for his mad skills in Asian cuisine. He runs the show at uber-luxe Wazuzu at Encore in Las Vegas, holds the Guinness World Record for the “World’s Largest Stir Fry” and now he's hosting Bistronomics in LA, a series of dinners focused on creative and affordable haute cuisine. I caught up with Jet to talk Asian culture, LA cuisine, fusion vs. confusion and why pit bulls rule.
