This Week in 'New York Times' Food News

Rock Star Butchers: Butcher love makes sense: "Dangerous is sometimes sexy, and they are generally big guys with knives who are covered in blood."
Rainy Summer: Rainwater wreaked havoc on many cherry and strawberry crops this year, but blueberries might fare better.
Restaurant Coups: These cooks without restaurants have taken over existing restaurant kitchens.
Al Dente: Advice from a dentist in cartoon form. For example, "champagne is no substitute for mouthwash."
Pizza's New Wave: New Yorkers are obsessed with artisanal pizza.
Grüner: Grüner veltliner has a peppery spiciness and pairs well with many summertime foods.
The Leftover Dilemna: "How we deal with leftovers says a lot about who we are."
Grilled Flanken: Flanken makes awesome pot roast, but throwing it on the grill is a good move, too.
Two Stars: That's what Frank Bruni gives Aldea for complex flavors and techniques with Portuguese roots.
Summer Soup: Add everything from the farmstand and serve with a baguette.
Tutto Sfoglia: Sfoglia on the Upper East Side was famous for their homemade bread. Now you can buy it, along with brioche and cookies, next door.
Veggies in a Jar: Dolce Nonna sells three products: tangy eggplant, sweet-tart peppers, and tender green beans.
Candy Disguised as an Apricot: Candycots are bred from seeds from Central Asia, apricot’s home turf.
