Taichi Kitamura likes Bairdi crab so much that he’s simply steaming them whole and serving them over sushi rice for $14 apiece at Sushi Kappo Tamura in Seattle.

Mat Urban, executive chef of The Joule hotel in Dallas, is a fan of local ingredients, including goat and lamb, as well as Texas cheddar cheese, all of which go into the savory pie at the hotel’s CBD Provisions.
