Did you know? You can dine out guilt free, and help to fight child hunger at the same time. The Great American Dine out begins today, and from September 20-26 2009, selected participating restaurants will donate a portion of their proceeds to Share our Strength, which assists community programs that provide help to children at risk of hunger. Their accomplishments to date are very impressive, click here to view their grants at work. Please consider helping them reach their goals.

Chef Aaron McCargo Jr is a strong supporter and the official spokesperson for Share Our Strength. His love for all things culinary began at age 4, when he learned to bake using his sister’s Easy Bake Oven. A graduate of the Atlantic Cape Community College’s Academy of Culinary Arts, Aaron worked for several east coast restaurants, and is currently star of the Food Network Show Big Daddy’s House. In addition to serving as chef spokesperson for Share our Strength, Aaron regularly speaks to youth at community schools and events to illustrate that they too can succeed. In his honor, Camden NJ Mayor Gwendolyn Faison presented Aaron with keys to the city in 2008 and designated September 25 as Aaron McCargo, Jr. Day. In our featured chef recipe today, Aaron rewards Dineout supporters with a comforting Creamy Asparagus and Crab Soup. Eat out this week, and make the soup next week!

Classic Comfort: New England Clam Chowder
Posted by: | CommentsSorry Manhattan style, your thin tomatoey broth just can’t satisfy our wintertime hearty comfort food cravings, New England wins our hearts every time. And here’s a bit of clam chowder trivia for you: in 1939, the state of Maine introduced a law to ban the addition of tomatoes to chowder, considering the act to be a rude gesture against the original legendary recipe!
Chef and fromager Tood Jasmin shares his favorite recipe for a rich classic New England style clam chowder in this video. The recipe can be found here. We recommend skipping the diner style hexagon crackers and serving it up with a nice warm buttered baguette. Enjoy!
