The Best Diner In Each State
And
as long as you don't order the Clams Casino they definitely beat most
fast food joints by a mile for just a few bucks more, but more
importantly they're a great starting point when exploring a new city.
Wanna try the famous Lunch Box Burger and get a slice of kitschy Americana while you're in Minneapolis? Visit the Band Box Diner, which dates back to 1939 and is the last of its kind.Looking for some down home cooking with a rich and decadent twist while you're in Winnemucca, Nevada? Head over to The Griddle
(open since 1948) and treat yourself to their cream cheese-filled Pecan
Crepes, which they top with bacon caramel sauce. *drool*
And
if you're looking for local history in Salt Lake City, Utah then you've
gotta go to Ruth's Diner, which was started by a cabaret singer named
Ruth back in 1930.It's rumored that Ruth's used to be located across the street from a house of ill repute,
and that Ruth used to feed the girls and listen to all the local
gossip, making Ruth's a hub for travelers. I wonder how they felt about
her Pulled Pork Benedict?
What's So Great About 350 Degrees?
For a long time, 350 degrees was the most common oven temperature in cook books. What was the thinking behind that?
Well, it turns out that oven temperatures weren't nearly as precise before they had degrees on the dial, and it hardly mattered. They aren't even that precise now. Cooks from bygone eras pretty much learned what worked by experience. If your oven was hotter or cooler, you just adjusted your baking time. An article at the Atlantic tells us about how precise oven temperatures came about, and why recipe publishers chose the settings they did. I use 400 degrees more often these days, since I'm putting something frozen in the oven.The magic of cooking at 350 degrees isn’t magic at all, but chemistry. It is, for example, the level associated with the Maillard Reaction, the chemical process that gives so many foods a complex flavor profile—and an appealing golden-brown hue—when sugar and protein are heated together just so.
“Without Maillard chemistry we would not have a dark bread crust or golden brown turkey,” wrote the authors of a Royal Society of Chemistry book about the reaction, “our cakes and pastries would be pale and anemic, and we would lose the distinctive color of French onion soup.” The Maillard Reaction—which actually entails a series of reactions—isn’t all toasty goodness, however. It’s also responsible for making apples turn brown, which many people find unappetizing “despite negligible effect on flavor,” the authors write.

When Science and the Occult Went Head-to-Head on a German Mountaintop
The
stories of supernatural happenings in the Harz mountains of Germany,
and in particular the highest peak called the Brocken, have been around
forever. Harry Price found those beliefs ridiculous. The skeptic Price
had studied the supernatural for some time, and even owned a book of old
German spells and rituals, which got him invited to the Brocken in 1932
to create some magic.
In 1932, the region was celebrating the centennial anniversary of the Goethe’s death, and that's why Price went to the Brocken, along with fellow philosopher C.E.M. Joad, to perform a magic ritual that was supposed to change a goat into a boy. He had to take a fair maiden and a goat, too, along with a bunch of journalists and spectators. Read the story of that ritual and how it turned out at Atlas Obscura.Price’s attempt at a magical ritual atop the Brocken came about thanks in part to the writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Goethe famously had an interest in the occult, and visited the Brocken peak, hiking a path that is still memorialized as the Goethe Way. Inspired by the mysterious atmosphere of the Harz region, Goethe set portions of his most famous play, Faust, there, including the surreal walpurgisnacht scene where the devil Mephistopheles leads Faust around the Brocken, observing witches and even a gorgon. “Paganism died hard in the Harz country,” Price would later write.

Did This Mysterious Ape-Human Once Live Alongside Our Ancestors?
Homo
naledi was very different from archaic humans that lived around the
same time. Left: Kabwe skull from Zambia, an archaic human. Right:
''Neo'' skull of Homo naledi.
In 2013, researchers in South Africa found the remains of a previously-undiscovered human species. In 2015, they introduced Homo naledi,
a human with a tiny brain, ape-like shoulders, but other features that
were more human. Where would this species fit in the homo family tree? A
big step would be to date the fossils. Using several different methods,
a team from the University of Witwatersrand led by paleoanthropologist
Lee Berger has determined Homo naledi to be between 236,000 and 335,000 years old, much younger than such a primitive human should be -even younger than Homo erectus.
If these dates hold, it could mean that while our own species was evolving from other, large-brained ancestors, a little-brained shadow lineage was lingering on from a much earlier period, perhaps two million years ago or more. The proposed age range for the fossils also overlaps with the early Middle Stone Age, fueling a provocative, though unproven, possibility: that the stone-tool record in South Africa from that time wasn’t just the handiwork of anatomically modern humans.Read about the latest research on Homo naledi at National Geographic News.
“How do you know that these sites that are called [examples of] the rise of modern human behavior aren’t being made by Homo naledi?” says Berger, who is also a National Geographic explorer-in-residence. “You can imagine how disruptive that could be.”
