Summer done simply: Sheet-pan chicken with basil and spicy corn

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:56:44 GMT

By Emily Weinstein, The New York TimesIt’s cruel that the best time of year to bake is also when you’re least likely to want to turn on the oven, and yet every summer I heat up the kitchen baking cherry pie and blueberry crisp. Desserts made with peak fruit are irresistible, and I mean that literally: I can’t resist them.If you’re still not turning on the oven, I get it. Eric Kim’s cold noodles with tomatoes, which follow, come close to no-heat cooking; you just have to boil the noodles.1. Sheet-Pan Chicken Thighs With Spicy CornThe spicy, salty jalapeño brine balances sweet corn kernels, which roast on a sheet pan alongside chicken thighs in this simple, summery weeknight meal. The chicken, marinated with basil, garlic and a little mayonnaise, stays juicy even after a brief stint under the broiler. You can serve this hot from the oven or at room temperature — it’s equally good each way — and cold leftovers are excellent piled onto lettuce or avocado for a salad the next day.B...

Fast-food dining rooms are pretty quiet these days

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:56:44 GMT

If it seems as though fast-food dining areas are emptier than they used to be, that’s because they are.Dine-in customers now represent less than 10% of all sales at McDonald’s restaurants compared to roughly 25% before the COVID-19 pandemic, the Wall Street Journal reported on Monday.The shift was already underway before the pandemic with more fast-food customers opting for drive-thru, take-out or delivery.Across all U.S. fast-food chains, dining-in represented 14% of orders through the first five months of 2023, the WSJ reported, citing data from market research firm Circana. That percentage was around 21% just before the pandemic, and 22% in 2015.For the most part, restaurant chains welcome the trend since to-go orders are more profitable and efficient to handle and reduce the work needed to keep dining areas clean.“You don’t necessarily need the big dining rooms that you needed in our traditional restaurants,” McDonald's CEO Chris Kempczinski said during an investor call last mon...
