Boston's Nigerian Pepper Soup Is Pure Comfort

Sat, 22 Aug 2026 04:05:07 -0700

First stop on a Boston snack tour that feels like a trip around the world: Suya Joy in Nubian Square, serving a Nigerian-style "girl dinner" of rich pepper soup, golden fried plantain, crispy samosas, and Zobo, a spiced hibiscus drink. The owners built the restaurant to give homesick Nigerians landing at Logan International a taste of home, and to introduce newcomers to West African cuisine. Want the full world tour? Check out the full episode, Where to Eat in Boston for a World Tour.

LSD May Lead to a New Kind of Medicine

Thu, 20 Aug 2026 20:50:07 -0700

Studies have shown that psychedelics have huge potential for treating a variety of mental illnesses. There's just one problem: the side effects aren't exactly subtle. So University of North Carolina researcher Bryan Roth has developed new molecules that could have the same effect without the trip.

Is the Secret to Treating Schizophrenia in... Engineering?

Wed, 19 Aug 2026 20:45:08 -0700

Most of the medicines we have for treating mental illness adjust the level of brain chemicals like serotonin and dopamine. But that doesn't work for everyone. So Duke researcher Kafui Dzirasa, who trained as an engineer, is looking at the problem from a totally different perspective: electrical patterns across the entire brain.

The Fungus You Should Actually Be Worried About

Tue, 18 Aug 2026 20:40:30 -0700

As the planet warms, a dangerous fungus called cryptococcus has been adapting to higher temperatures. That isn't great for humans because our body heat is one of our primary defenses against the pathogen. Duke researcher Asiya Gusa studies how this fungus is changing, and her work may help prevent an outbreak of infections.

In 1986, the residents of a Cameroonian village called Nyos experienced a natural disaster that had only happened one other time in recorded history. Their local lake expelled a gigantic cloud of CO2 gas, killing roughly 1800 people. But over the decades, scientists and engineers have worked out a solution to prevent something similar from happening again.

Meet Rochester's Legendary "Garbage Plate"

Thu, 13 Aug 2026 00:35:07 -0700

It might look like, well, garbage, but there’s an art to Rochester’s infamous garbage plate. It starts off with sides, an impossible choice of french fries, home fries, macaroni salad or beans. Next comes the meat, hotdogs, hamburgers or cheeseburgers. And finally, the whole shebang is topped off with mustard, onions, ketchup and hot sauce. If you’ve got the guts for it, no one does it better than Nick Tahou Hots. They’ve been perfecting the marvelous mess for the past three generations.

This Brooklyn Shawarma Is the Ultimate Comfort Meal

At Hen House, the chicken shawarma comes loaded with toum, pickles, and crispy fries, finished with a final swipe of garlic sauce and a shower of pomegranate molasses. Owner Tony calls this Lebanese-style shawarma his own death row meal, and it's easy to see why, from the crispy grilled edges to the "sauce of the gods." The shop also went viral for its kafta pancake, a last-minute invention that ended up saving the business.

Inside Thailand's Wildest Markets

Tue, 11 Aug 2026 00:00:20 -0700

Thailand's markets don't just sell food, they're built around it. At Maeklong Railway Market outside Bangkok, vendors set up shop along active train tracks, packing up their stalls eight times a day when the train comes through, then rebuilding within minutes. An hour away on the Mae Klong river, the Amphawa floating market has run for centuries the same way, with boats gliding up to diners to serve fresh seafood and traditional Thai dishes straight from the water. Together, they're two sides of the same market culture: one shaped by a train line, the other by a canal, and both centered on food. This is a Thailand market tour unlike any other, where getting your next meal means dodging a train or flagging down a boat.

Step inside Salt Pâtisserie in Newton Centre with Chef Thiago Silva, where the display case includes a tree made entirely out of chocolate.

This Boston Market Is a One-Stop Butcher and Fishmonger

Tue, 11 Aug 2026 00:00:20 -0700

At Boston Provisions Market, Chef Thiago Silva teams up with Savenor's and Wolf's Fish, two local institutions now under one roof, to stock up for the week. Highlights include a lamb rack, ribeye, coppa, and a rare find: beef cheek. On the fish side, Argentinian red shrimp and wolf fish (a sweeter, more delicate cousin of monkfish) round out the haul. It's proof that a good local butcher and fishmonger make all the difference.
