How Padma Lakshmi Adds A Spicy Kick To Peanut Butter And Jelly Sandwiches
"Top Chef" stalwart Padma Lakshmi has never been shy about her love for the simple comfort of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. For Lakshmi, as she revealed on Instagram, the convenience and taste of strawberry jelly and creamy peanut butter can't be topped, particularly when managing a busy filming schedule. She has also demonstrated on Instagram that she particularly enjoys topping crunchy pieces of seeded sourdough toast with Jif's creamy peanut butter and fresh pomegranate seeds. Yet the other ingredient she loved stacking onto her beloved snack packs a bit more punch: spicy, fruity jam.
Lakshmi has filled hotteok with pineapple jalapeño jam and has slathered hot pepper jam onto salami toasties made with cheddar cheese. Unsurprisingly, her favorite snack of convenience has also been topped with the spicy spread. PB&J boosted with hot pepper jam? That's a bite that is sure to put an extra kick in your step.

To borrow another recipe inspired by Lakshmi's culinary creations, consider making your own kumquat and ginger chutney, adjust the heat and sweet level to suit your own palate, and match the creation with your preferred choice of nut butter. If you'd rather use a store-bought alternative for a spicy jam, be sure to reach for hot pepper jam -- not hot pepper jelly -- as the jam varieties will still contain pieces of fruit that will add a touch of sweetness to your sandwich. If you find that your sandwich is a bit too hot for your liking, turn down the volume of the spice with a drizzle of honey.
With so many different types of hot pepper jam available in markets, you can create a PB&J sandwich tasting board with different toasted breads, cheeses, and spicy jams to mix and match to your heart's -- and stomach's -- content. Served as a snack, appetizer, or for a quick meal, this punchy sandwich will hit all the right notes, and, of course, is approved by a "Top Chef" judge.

This 'inexpensive' Street Food Is Made Fresh Under A Staircase In Burnaby
Kim's Korean Waffles and Pancakes has been serving up sweet and savoury eats for 20 years in the same location, and is back for the 2023-24 season.
A Burnaby street food vendor has been going strong for 20 years in the exact same location — underneath a staircase in the busy commuter neighbourhood of Burquitlam.
Kim's Korean Waffles and Pancakes has fired up its griddle and cast-iron wheel as of Sept. 15 at Hannam Market, located at 4501 North Rd.
This, just in time to warm up local residents, foodies and commuters for the fall and winter months of 2023 and 2024 as the local "hidden gem" is closed during the summer.
According to Kim's, the business prides itself on providing "inexpensive" street food options, bungeoppang (waffles) and hotteok (pancakes), for those on-the-go and that everything is fresh to order.
As Burquitlam is known as Metro Vancouver's Koreatown hub, the waffles and pancakes are also a call back to the homeland.
"A common winter street scene in Korea is that of food carts selling bungeoppang [waffles] on street corners.... The taste is always a crowd-pleaser," Kim's website reads.
"For many Koreans, the sight of freshly baked bungeoppang and its sweet aroma wafting through the crisp winter air is a signal that winter has truly arrived."
The waffles, served in the shape of a fish, are made by pour flour dough into the mold. They're typically served with a red-bean filling.
The pancakes are made with glutinous rice flour filled with brown sugar and cinnamon, hand-pressed and lightly cooked on the mobile griddle.
For those craving a savoury snack, the street eats can also be stuffed with vegetables.
Prices are $1.50 per waffle and $2.50 per pancake. Patrons feeling extra hungry can get four waffles for $5 or five pancakes for $10.
Kim's Korean Waffles and Pancakes is set up at Hannam Market 11 a.M. To 6 p.M. Monday to Thursday, and is open an extra hour later, 7 p.M., on Fridays and Saturdays.
