Benoit Blanc goes full Gothic in Wake Up Dead Man trailer

Private detective Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) might just turn out to be Rian Johnson's greatest creation. Introduced in 2019's Knives Out, Blanc's syrupy Southern drawl and idiosyncratic approach to solving a mysterious New England death charmed audiences worldwide and launched a modern whodunnit franchise. The third installment in the series, Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, has already garnered early rave reviews after screening at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) over th

This Is Hands-Down the Best Way to Store Kitchen Knives (no, It's Not a Block)

No kitchen tool demands proper storage more than knives. Options include canvas knife wraps, wooden blocks and in-drawer organizers, but the mighty magnetic knife strip ranks as my absolute favorite.

There isn't a piece of kitchen equipment that benefits more from proper storage than knives. That's why a knife strip is the first thing I buy for the kitchen of any home I move into, and urge friends to install one if they haven't already. Yep, I'd sooner live without a microwave or air fryer -- OK, maybe not my precious air fryer -- than this indispensable piece of kitchen infrastructure. Best of all, a good magnetic strip to hang your best knives rarely costs more than $30. I'm a culinary-s

A while back at my favorite kitchen-gear trade show, I spotted what appeared to be a trending category: barbecue knives. Their distinguishing characteristics seem to be a fairly tall blade, a shape that encourages a wokka-wokka–style rocking motion, and a target audience that skews heavily toward dudes with beards. Not all of those traits scream “great for grilling,” but I was intrigued. One question immediately stuck in my head: What, if anything, makes a knife grill-friendly? Those I'd come a

I Test Cooking Tools for a Living. This Is the Best $25 You Can Spend on Your Kitchen

As a food writer and former culinary school student, this entails leaving behind a certain feature in any kitchen where I've lived. (As a former NYC resident, there were numerous kitchens.) It's the first thing I buy for a new kitchen, without even needing to take measurements. Where I put it might be up for grabs, but it's guaranteed to be going somewhere. I'd sooner live without a microwave or a (*gasps*) air fryer th
