Aunt Suzanne’s Famous Caramel Pecan Bars

It’s a stunner By Andrew Zimmern These are my Aunt Suzanne’s famous Caramel Pecan Bars. She says she got the recipe off a butter box; I am guessing Land O’Lakes, in the 1980s.

Crispy Soft-Shell Crabs with Bangalore-Style Dipping Sauce

Soft-Shell Crab Gets a Makeover I call this yakitori style because of the sauce — because yaki means chicken and tori means skewered grilling, and this dish is neither!
