The Weekly Feed: Crisp and Sizzling Edition
Vietnamese food is one of the quintessential DIY cuisines. Drizzle a little of this or that sauce. Scatter some herbs. Choose some vegetables. You control the sweetness, sourness, spiciness and crunchiness. And one of the best examples is banh xeo, a golden-colored crispy rice crepe loaded with pork, shrimp, and bean sprouts. It is seasoned very gently with tumeric and salt to maximize personalization though some recipes include touches of coconut milk and curry powder.

Granville Moore's Teddy Folkman Takes on Bobby Flay
In case you haven't had the opportunity to make the trek out to Granville Moore's on H Street NE, try tuning into the Food Network tonight at 9 p.m. to see what you've been missing out on. Even if you've had to opportunity to try their signature Moules Fromage Bleu - a steaming pot of PEI mussels, bacon, shallots, spinach, and blue cheese with frites - watch as Food Network poster-boy Bobby Flay attempts to "throwdown" and pit his coconut milk, roasted green chilies and butter mussels, and roasted poblano fries against Chef Teddy Folkman's classic dish. Good luck, considering Folkman's double-fried frites rank among D.C.'s best, alongside Brasserie Beck and Belga Cafe.
