Autumn’s best apple dishes, sweets and drinks

By: Robert DiGiacomo

Apples are ripe and ready for picking just as the temperatures begin to drop and we crave comfort foods like a slice of warm apple pie topped with vanilla ice cream, or a cup of mulled apple cider. “Apples really come into their own in fall; they have that snap and crispness that are a welcome change from summer fruits,” says Caitlin Mateo, executive chef at Square 1682 at the Hotel Palomar in Philadelphia.

The tartness of many apple varieties also make them well-suited to savory recipes, such as Mateo’s Skuna Bay Salmon with pickled green apples and an autumn green salad with apple vinaigrette.

“It’s all about balance, and depends on what types of apples you choose,” Mateo says. “You don’t want too many sweet elements in a savory dish, but when you do it right, the flavors really pop.”

For a host of mouth-watering sweet and savory apple dishes and drinks available this autumn, browse the gallery above.

3 Spots to Make and Eat Pizza—and Call It Business

By: Kelsey Ogletree

F&B can take a big slice out of your budget, but it can also be a tasty piece of your event pie. Popping up at hotels and venues around the country, hands-on pizza-making activities can serve dual purposes, satisfying teambuilding components of your conference as well as appetites. Take a look at these three options, and get ’em while they’re hot!

Flour & Barley
This Las Vegas pizzeria isn’t afraid to get eccentric with toppings, from calamari to broccolini. Teams compete to create the most delicious (or outrageous) pizza, and a panel of judges (that can include your company’s CEO or the restaurant’s owner) chooses a winner. Bonus: The package comes with a two-hour open bar.

Sheraton Phoenix Downtown Hotel
Hired as executive chef earlier this year, Chaz Frankenfield has tossed things up, breaking groups out of the ballroom and into the kitchen. Teams are given dough and toppings to shape how they please. They can get down to business while their pizzas are baking, then enjoy the spoils.

Timber Ridge Lodge
The competition at this Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, property involves much more than crust, sauce and cheese. Things can get downright saucy when you throw in creative elements such as groups designing their own pizza box, logo and even making a 30-second commercial for their pie.
